Heh!
So how about some of these?

SAIMIN
The ultimate hangover cure and the perfect comfort food during Hawai‘i’s
mild winters, saimin ranks at the top of the list of local favorites. In
fact, it’s one of the few dishes deemed truly local, having been
highlighted in cookbooks since the 1930s. Saimin is an Asian-style
noodle soup so ubiquitous, it’s even on McDonald’s menus statewide. In
mom-and-pop shops, a large melamine bowl is filled with homemade dashi
or chicken broth and wheat-flour noodles and then topped off with strips
of omelet, green onions, bright pink fish cake and char siu (Chinese
roast pork) and/or canned luncheon meat, such as SPAM. Add shoyu and
chili pepper water, lift your chopsticks and slurp away.
MANAPUA
Another savory snack is manapua, fist-sized dough balls fashioned after
Chinese bao and stuffed with fillings such as char siu pork and then
steamed. Many mom-and-pop stores sell them in commercial steamer display
cases along with pork hash and other dim sum. Modern-day fillings
include curry chicken.
