I haven't heard of that place. The Man would probably know because he's more of a local boy than I am. Oh yeah, but we have a lot of Hawaii members here now. Like Saburo, Groink, Rinrin, Hirari-chan, and Steve.

I'm a townie and if I want good shave ice, I just go to the Waiola Store.

Yeah, I remember Matsumoto's from when I was a kid. Great shaved ice, but you can get comparable tasting shaved ice (and for the benefit of our neighbor island -- or is it just The Big Island folks who say the following -- "ice shave"; man, anything to try to one-up on Oahu, heh :D, heh :mrgreen: , heh :hehe: ) at Baldwin's Sweet Shop in Waimalu -- that's in Groink's ville of Pearl City -- and at other places on Oahu . . . and I would guess on the neighbor islands too (Maui right now must have be experiencing a romance with Crispy Creme donuts as they just opened over there. So . . . they nevah like start on Oahu, eh? OK, OK, Crispy Creme, no worries, we goin' remember here in Honolulu :hehe:).

Well, bruddah, you th' only townie I know living in Waipio. :hehe:

Any of ya'll local folks here remember Farrell's in Pearlridge? Great birthday place when you're a kid. Loud and can make as much loud noise as you like. Great ice cream. GREAT burgers and fries. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, those were the days. The onset of Kikaida, Star Wars, Avengers comic books, Encyclopedia Brown books. The friends weren't married. Enough time to run multiple Advanced Dungeons and Dragons campaigns [just do it, just do it; insert your favorte "The Man YOU are a NERD WITH A CAPITAL "n" COMMENT HERE: _____________________). Sigh. Oh, well, I got more money now and I certainly dress better, bwhahahha.

Anyway, back to the topic . . . oddly enough, last I heard, there's a freeway parallel to the old roadway fronting classic Haleiwa outlets LIKE Matsumoto's. The conventional wisdom was that the creation of the freeway was (get ready for some sarcasm, folks) a stroke of genius -- after all . . . how're the tourists (and kamaaina as well) supposed to be enticed to stop, park the car on the side of the road, and enjoy Haleiwa's establishments IF YOU'RE LOOKING OVER AT THEM FROM A FRICKIN' FREEWAY!!?!?!? Ahem. Man. If I were governor.

Oh, well, maybe it's just a sign of the times . . . w/Starbucks, Macy's, Barnes and Noble, Borders Books and Music, Coach, Prada (admittedly, those last two are limited to the touristy Waikiki and Ala Moana . . .though, what am I saying; I go to those places all the time), Pier One, your obligatory multiple of 10 movie theatre complexes, et al., et al., et al, coming to the aina.

OK. Well, any more questions for your modern-day Paniolo, The Man? I'll be happy to express :muack: .

i didnt know what clay aiken song he sang these week,but the song he sing is copy from year 80 song in Malaysia

Haven't heard of Matsumoto's? Very interesting. Well, I never really went there often either. I think I went there like once or twice. Too far for me. My friends and I always used to go to Baldwin's in Aiea.

Actually I was saying I couldn't believe that Aho never heard of it...hehe, I've been there before. :sweat:

My one-a-month routine:

1) Drive to the north shore and eat some shrimp scampi at Giovanni's.
2) Buy fresh corn if they're selling them along the roadside.
3) Matsumoto's on my way back to Pearl City.

Maybe the Oahu-based JDorama-ers should have a get-together and take Aho out to experience Matsumoto's. And our way back to Pearl City/Waikele, we can stop by Mililani and throw eggs at Jasmine's house!
