We had breakfast at the Kountry Kitchen, again. I had the 2 eggs with Portuguese sausage while Sophon had the Spam Loco Moco.
We both enjoy trying and learning about new foods, so we headed to the Hanalei farmer’s market which had locally grown produce, baked goods, and arts and crafts. On a previous trip, we discovered the Ice Cream bean and yes, it tastes like ice cream. Earlier in the week, we saw a golden fruit shaped like a tear drop. We learned it was called egg fruit, but its official name was yellow sapote. We bought a couple along with an ice cream bean and were told to let the egg fruit fully ripen and it would taste like Butterscotch pudding.
There was a local bakery that we had passed and as if we did not have a big enough breakfast, we purchased a couple of pastries and found an area to sit down and eat. I could have sat there all day and taken in the view!
Later in the week, we tried the egg fruit and there was a butterscotch flavor, and the texture was creamy. Sophon said it was like durian without the stink!
We continued driving around the island and drove to Hanapepe. Although we were there in the early afternoon, I wondered if we had hit it at the wrong time, a lot of the shops were closed. Overall, there wasn’t much to see or do besides the swinging bridge.
