Chun Wah Kam - Oahu, Hawaii
Ask a local where to get the best manapua on Oahu and they’ll likely tell you to go to Libby’s. But this chain called Chun Wah Kam seems to be the most accessible from wherever you happen to be on Oahu.
And the manapua it steams is fluffy, sweet, and filled with some things you’d expect to be in a steamed bun, like red bean; and some things you never thought could be, like curry.
The most popular is the char siu, which is chopped to hash, food-colored to a rosy shade of pink, and tastes like pork candy. Eating one is a good snack. Eating two counts as a meal. And if you’re planning for a day at the beach, I would argue there is no better picnic food in Hawaii.

Ah the eternal battle Libby versus Chun Wah Kam versus Char Hung Sut! and then there Royal Kitchen! Really enjoying your Honolulu posts.
I need to put Char Hung Sut on my to-do list the next time! Can't have too many baos!
