Marcus, the new Ah Fook’s is very small compared to the old location, but even within that tiny space, they have some very unique merchandise you can’t get in the big supermarkets. Da’ kine “Chinatown” ‘kine stuff.

Deanna, give Portuguese Sausage with Takuan (a.k.a. Takuwan) a try. It’s really ono! Especially with some scrambled eggs and rice to go along with it. It’s good with Beni Shoga too. Any Tsukemono. I think it’s the fattiness and the spices that make the two taste good together.

If you don’t know anyone that makes home-made Portuguese Sausage, Ah Fook’s No-Ka-Oi brand would be your best bet.

Spotty, like I said in the opening sentence, make sure to pop an extra statin pill. My body’s still trying to recover from the last Great Portuguese Sausage shootout. lol

Raph’, thanks!

Betty, I wouldn’t use Ah Fook’s brand for something like say Portuguese Bean Soup. It’s tastes too good for that, where it would otherwise get drowned out. Best eaten as is, just pan-fried. It’s also a little more expensive. I’d use a cheaper, easier-to-get brand instead for recipe dishes (I won’t name names).

Val, funny you mentioned that. I went spock da’ boiled peanuts in the reefer case and they looked so ono. IIRC, they also had spicy boiled peanuts and garlic style. If you come to Oahu, you gotta’ try Alicia’s large Virginia style boiled peanuts. Seasoned and cooked PERFECTLY. One of the best on the island, IMO.

Yoro, how about some Sun Noodle Portuguese Sausage Ramen? How you figgah’, would work or what? Nah, I don’t think so. Maybe Portuguese Bean Soup Ramen. lol

I love Ah Fook’s. The old store, before the fire, was really cool, old-time vibe. This one’s fine too, really nice people in there. And yeah, the sausage is THAT GOOD.

I never thought of eating portuguese sausage with takuan. What an awesome combination! I’ve seen Costco selling rectangular shaped portuguese sausage – a port. sausage/takuan musubi sounds good, too!

I’ve never had home-made portuguese sausage. It makes me want to fly to the neighbor islands just to get some.

I predict a cholesterol rise in my near future. One more thing to look for next time I go there.

Pomai, when coming back from Hawaii I brought some of Ah Fook Spicy Sausages and use it in Jambalaya and pizzas. It was great and mild one for quinches with spinach.
