"Kaukau" is a pidgin slang word meaning "food" or "to eat." The Hawaiian term for food is `ai. The two theories on the origin of the word "kaukau" are the Hawaiian word for table, pâkaukau, and the Chinese word for food, chow chow. In Hawaii we say "We go kaukau!", I would say, "I hungry I like kaukau!" or "Let's kaukau!" The Cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of foods brought by immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands, particularly of Portuguese, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian etc.

Happy Independence Day (4th of July)
Just wanted to say a happy independence day to all the people who served our great country. I thank you guys all for the sacrifice. What a restful long holiday weekend. I wish we had the whole week off!! :)
Spent the entire weekend with my lovely wife. We stayed home and watched movies and tv. I even had some time to backup some of my files I thought I would never do.
As for food nothing spectacular. I just made Spicy dau see pork with ong choy again for my wife and filipino style spaghetti.
I'll post the recipes in a bit.
Back to the daily grind.... :P
