Ressie's Kusina


Da sistahs and I were in Kaneohe yesterday to check out the First Presbyterian Church's annual bazaar. The bazaar was HAYUGE. 

The spacious parking lot was jam packed. We heard that before they opened the doors, the line of people waiting to get in had extended way out to the parking area.

There was a rummage sale, craft items, jams and jellies, baked goods, plants, as well as food to eat on site. We were totally impressed.

But the best best best best thing of the day was accidentally finding Ressie's Kusina. Ressie is the chief (and only) cook and her son Jun tends the counter. 

The food was SO ONO. This place would totally become our go-to place for filipino food if only it were closer to town. Waaaaahhh!

That all looks so good! I'll take 1 mini plate! ; )

I always enjoyed checking out mom and pop restaurants. My favorite was Massu's Massive Plate Lunch. I always got the Lau Lau Plate. Next was Mommas Mexican Food. Back in the early 1980's Mommas was about the only Mexican food you could get on Oahu. Before I found Mommas I always made my Mexican food at home. It was almost impossible to find salsa in the stores.
