Description

Lucky we live Hawai‘i, where the yummiest cuisines from across the Pacific Rim come to mix and mingle. The Local Favorites wooden puzzle collection pays tribute to ethnic cuisines that have become beloved fixtures here in the islands.

Koreans emigrated to Hawai‘i in several waves throughout the 20th century, bringing with them the irresistible tastes of their homeland like kimchi and kalbi. Honolulu’s Korean dining scene thrives in the Ke‘eaumoku area, and the popular “Korean BBQ Mixed Plate,” a fusion of classic Korean dishes and local touches like macaroni salad, is found all across the Aloha State. It’s mashisoyo, delicious!

In Ajumma’s (Auntie’s) Kitchen, keiki can explore some of the most loved Korean dishes and snacks:

Bibimbap – rice topped with sautéed and fermented vegetables and a fried egg
Kalbi – barbecued short ribs
Kimchi – spicy, fermented cabbage
Mandoo – dumplings
Gamja jorim – sweet shoyu-glazed potatoes, a classic banchan
Sweet yogurt, banana milk, and melon ice cream bar
