In Honolulu, new eateries offer dishes as diverse as pancakes, octopus
Two new Honolulu restaurants hope to lure visitors with unusual menus and prices lower than those usually found at Waikiki hotels.
Guests can start their days with Frosted Flakes pancakes ($10) at Scratch Kitchen & Bake Shop in Chinatown. “Brekky,” as they call it, is served 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes shakshuka ($14), a Middle Eastern dish of eggs baked with Italian sausage, feta cheese and stewed tomatoes.
The menu changes to reflect seasonal produce. The lunch menu currently includes curried butternut squash soup ($7) and an autumn salad ($10) containing arugula, poached pears and crumbled gorgonzola.
Info: Scratch Kitchen & Bake Shop, 1030 Smith St., (808) 536-1669, is closed Mondays.
About three miles east of Waikiki, guests will find traditional Asian and Hawaiian influences in the dishes served at Kaimuki Superette. With tables and a lunch counter with stools, the place has a mid-20th century feel to it.
The menu features sandwiches such as sprouted lentil terrine with cucumber, mint and feta yogurt on focaccia bread ($8.50) and the South Shore he’e roll, a blend of octopus, celery seed and tarragon on a buttered bun ($12.50).
Info: Kaimuki Superette, 3458 Waialae Ave., (808) 734-7800. Closed Sundays.
