Meat-loving aficionados flock to Camellia Buffet, a yakiniku-style establishment, for good eats that keep on coming. A hearty meal of pork belly, kalbi, rib eye, cow tongue and more might have you adjusting your belt one notch looser, but as everyone knows, there’s always room for a light dessert.

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.

“Sikhye is a fermented rice drink. It’s a thirst quencher,” Park explains. “It’s like an after-dinner dessert that helps with digestion.
