Visit Waimea: Kuya JnL

I saw Chef Jay Kanekoa share an IG story about Kuya JnL, so we gave it a try when we were in Waimea.  

Chicken Inasal

My friend enjoyed the Chicken Inasal.  He asked if it was made with 7-Up, and the employee said "Sprite," which signified to my friend that the dish was as authentic he could find on the Big Island.  He liked the dish!

Pork & Peas

I had the Pork & Peas.  The pork was tender, but I thought the sauce was a little too sweet and more tomato-forward than I'm used to.  I did, however, appreciate the generous serving.  It was an overall good dish!

Pancit Bihon

The Pancit Bihon reminded me of my grandparents.  I loved the pieces of pork belly which added nice smokiness to the dish.  My friend loved this dish too.

Kuya JnL is a must for great Filipino food in Waimea!
