Keiki will enjoy feasting on the abundance of orange and strawberry Jell-O, along with assorted fruits, such as oranges, papaya, apples and pineapple.

“We try to bring in seasonal fruits, too,” says manager Kelly Park, who notes that customers enjoy the island flavor the fruits provide. “We try to bring in the sweetest pineapple. We serve local pineapple from Maui, which are sweet.”

Sikhye features bits of rice and malt barley floating in a sweet juice that will leave you revitalized after a heavy meal. It hits the spot.
