STIR IT. MIX IT. Shake it. It must be Pau
Hana, otherwise commonly known as Happy Hour, a time when special drinks and menu items are available at discounted prices. So after you’ve soaked up as much sun as you can handle and shopped to your heart’s content, it’s time to relax with an ice-cold drink and tasty tidbits from The Shops at Wailea’s restaurants. At 3 p.m., crowds are already starting to file in at Longhi’s. Most belly up to the bar due to the inclement weather, but the steady rain doesn’t dampen the mood. There’s a lot to like about Happy Hour here, which runs daily from 3 to 6 p.m. For healthy fare, order the Greek flatbread ($10), which is topped with romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onions and feta cheese. Everyone, though, should try the fish and chips ($13), consisting of panko-battered fresh monchong and hand-cut fries.
“We always use fresh fish,” says Michael Rose, Longhi’s longtime general manager and sommelier. “And you’ve got to try our Molokini Sunset-tini.” Other select martinis, including the Coconut-tini and Very Berry Passion Tini, are priced at $7.50. White and red wines start at $5.50, as do well drinks. Draft beers cost $4.50. Across the hall, a group of men huddle around the bar at Cheeseburger Grille & Tap Room, noshing on a mound of nachos covered in a jalapeñopepper-and-cheese sauce, sour cream and pico de gallo. Manager Christopher McKinney paces back and forth from the bar to the kitchen, carrying trays of coconut shrimp ($9), crispy calamari ($9), teriyaki-coated edamame ($6.75) and baskets of large onion rings ($6.75). “We’re consistently busy during 2 to 5 p.m.,” says McKinney while en route to deliver

“Our roasted pork belly sliders are definitely one of our best sellers during Island Time.” specials feature margaritas, daily wine by the glass, and Ruth’s featured martini and cocktail of the day. As the lunch crowd thins out, The Pint & Cork’s staff members get a temporary reprieve before the next blitz of fans rush in during Happy Hour, between 2 and 5 p.m. Local craft beers flow at $5 and well drinks cost $6. Gastropub-quality appetizers include deviled eggs Rockefeller ($7), composed of farmed-raised eggs topped with smoked bacon, spinach, Parmesan and a velvety Béarnaise sauce. A bowl of mac and cheese offers a gooey mélange of
a plate of coconut shrimp, one of the signature appetizers. “And on a day like this when it’s raining, we see even more people.” Well drinks and Waikīkī Brewing Company draft beers cost $5.50. The made-from-scratch Piña Colada and Maui Mai Tai are priced at $6 each. Upstairs at Ruth’s Chris, executive chef Daniel Bader prepares for dinner service, starting with Happy Hour, which goes from 5 to 7 p.m. in the bar and lounge area. “We’re hoping to expand this area,” says Bader, pointing his finger to the two- and four-top tables in the lounge. “You’ve got to come early because the six bar stools and those two tables fill up quickly, especially on days like today.” Bader’s Happy Hour menu includes oysters Rockefeller, barbecued shrimp with mashed potatoes, sashimi or seared ahi, crispy calamari, stuffed mushrooms and, a personal favorite, veal osso buco ravioli.

Gruyère, white cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella, all topped with a rich béchamel sauce. “Everything is made to order,” says assistant general manager Ashley Rivers. “We run the same program during our Pau Hana service from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.” Always a crowd-pleaser, hand-cut fries are topped with a good dose of garlic and Parmesan ($6). Add an order of sliders ($3.95 for two), choosing from pork adobo, kalua pork or cheeseburger. Happy Hour morphs into “Island Time” at Tommy Bahama, a theme that befits the restaurant’s persona. Kick back and enjoy special wines ($7-8), mai tais and mojitos ($8), and Coconut Cloud and grapefruit basil martinis ($10) at the bar. Small plates ($10 each) include ahi poke Napoleon, cheeseburger sliders, macadamia crusted goat cheese, duo of dips, blackened fish tacos and pork belly sliders. “Our ahi tacos are flavored with sesame, ginger, capers, soy sauce and a wasabi-lime-and-avocado vinaigrette,” explains executive sous chef John Pali. “It’s definite-
ly one of our best sellers.” Equally as popular are the pork belly sliders, slow-roasted, crispy-skinned pork belly tucked in a mini brioche then garnished with pickled vegetables and a slightly spicy sriracha aioli.

GRAB AND GO Quick gourmet bites for a casual picnic on the beach By Simplicio Paragas Photography by STEVE CZERpNIA photography By steve czerniak
IT’S 8:30 A.M. and the fragrant smell of suntan lotion wafts in the air at the Island Gourmet Markets. “Emi … island breakfast deluxe,” Alma Amarillo shouts from behind the counter. “Steve … egg breakfast sandwich.” And orders continue to fire in as I try to decide what to eat. I’m assured, though, that whatever I order will take only 10 minutes. Looking up at the extensive board, I see multiple categories: Breakfast, Build Your Own Sandwich or Wrap, Create a Salad, Pizza, Fried Chicken, Kid’s Menu, Local Favorites, Daily Specials and Sides. I opt for the French dip sandwich ($11.99), a soft hoagie roll that’s sturdy enough to hold paper-thin slices of roast beef topped with Provolone and served with a side of savory au jus. “Everything is made fresh daily,” says Amarillo, Island Gourmet Markets’ deli manager. “All the dishes with a ‘shaka’ next to it means those are our best sellers and staff picks.” When on vacation, mornings tend to be relaxed, and deciding where and what to eat shouldn’t be a challenge. Breakfast should be a leisurely affair, sipping on coffee, reading the local paper and enjoying a stack of buttermilk pancakes ($6.99), an avocadoand-BLT omelet ($9.99) or Island Deluxe ($8.99), consisting of two eggs any way with a choice of ham, bacon, Spam, pork link sausage or Portuguese sausage, and served with rice or breakfast potatoes. Visiting from Oregon, Emi and her family said they’ve already eaten a few times at the Markets. “We even bought sandwiches for the beach from
here,” said the 15-year-old. “They have a lot of choices and it’s quick.” Wailea visitors aren’t the only ones who appreciate this quick-service deli. Locals, too, come here either before work for a morning meal and/or for a plate lunch or take-home dinner. The “Famous Wailea” burger ($10.49) gets the shaka of approval for its thick Angus beef patty. Add a couple of bacon slices and the burger earns another waving “Hang 10” symbol. The list of “Local Favorites” includes grilled New York steak, teriyaki chicken ($6.49 for a mini and $8.59 for a regular), grilled mahimahi ($10.99/$13.99), Cajun shrimp plate ($11.99) and, of course, loco moco supreme ($5.99/$7.99). At Whalers General Store, options abound as well. Sandwiches, salads and hot entrees are among the offerings. But where the Store truly shines is at the poke counter, where an assortment of cubed ahi is mixed with a variety of ingredients, from shoyu and seaweed to oyster sauce and wasabi. So do what locals do: pick up a tub of poke, some chopsticks and head to the beach.

So each time you attend Concerts at The Shops, Jazz at The Shops or any other event, you’re aiding a good cause. ONWARD AND UPWARD
April’s partnership is with Imua Family Services. Imua means “to move forward,” which is what they are committed to helping children do. Since 1947, they’ve been operating with the mission of “empowering families and their children to reach their full potential.” They do so by providing family-centered therapeutic services for infants, toddlers and preschool children who are facing disabilities and/or challenges in their development and behavior. According to executive director Dean Wong, Imua Family Services aims to cultivate “a better understanding of the extent of the problems that not only children with a crippling disease or disability have, but also those who are born premature, or have a developmental concern or delay.

May’s organization is Hospice Maui. For over 35 years, they have been serving the Maui community with quality hospice care. Besides carrying out the required services provided by all hospices, Hospice Maui goes above and beyond by providing a warm and comfortable environment for patients and their family or caregivers. That level of service can only come from a deep understanding of Maui’s diverse community. In December 2016, they opened the Hospice Maui Hale, offering an

sometimes purchasing them at wholesale prices or less. To ensure quality and safety, they inspect every product that comes in before sanitizing, inventorying and storing them until distribution. Their programs include Aloha Backpack Buddies, which equips elementary schoolchildren who are on the free and reduced meal program with pre-filled backpacks on Fridays that contain six meals for the weekend. With nine schools currently involved, they plan on distributing 12,120 backpacks totaling 72,720 meals this school year. They also arrange Ohana Food Drops and the Senior Mobile Pantry, delivering and distributing mass quantities of food to 10 underserved areas on Maui once a month. PROTECT AND SHELTER
July’s foundation focuses on establishing a foundation—literally. An official
affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity Maui (HHM) sells homes to low-income families, who earn between 25 percent and 80 percent of the median income, on a no-interest and no-profit basis. HHM seeks to provide not only shortterm solutions, but long-term as well. Families who are part of this program are required to attend homeowner education classes, budget counseling and credit counseling. HHM also has a Brush With Kindness program, which helps families in need with critical repairs, renovations and retrofits, including building grab bars or ramps to allow disabled or elderly residents to stay in the comfort of their own home. Its vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live, as HHM believes that through shelter, it can build strength and stability for families and the community.

ADORNED WITH LOVE Heirloom jewelry dates back to the 13th century, and is a Hawaiian tradition that's rooted in sentiment. By kristen nemoto jay photography by isaac arjonilla
IF THE UNITED STATES is known as the “melting pot” of the world, then the state of Hawai‘i should be called a vibrant “fruit salad.” Different—yet the same—is the theme of the Islands, as Hawai‘i prides itself on distinguishing and celebrating each other’s differences and similarities, as well as remembering and respecting each other’s heritage. A particularly special tradition of honoring the past, and those who’ve come before us, is one that can be attributed to Hawaiian and British monarchies. Although evolved over time, this tradition is the giving of Hawaiian heirloom jewelry, and like many local customs, this practice has connections from abroad. In his book, “Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry: A Lasting Remembrance,” Philip Rickard, owner of 36
The s ho ps at Wa ilea
the eponymous Hawaiian heirloom jewelry manufacturing company, wrote that the origin of heirloom jewelry dates back to 13th-century England. Early works of gold rings and bracelets were some of the first pieces known to incorporate words of poetry or sentiment, which eventually led to the portmanteau of “posy.” According to London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, during medieval times when religion was a part of everyday life, it was common for text to appear on the outside of posy jewelry pieces as a way to express friendship or devotion to one’s faith, functioning as both a religious talisman and a gift of love. During the mid to late 1800s, Queen Lili‘uokalani was evidently fond of heirloom jewelry, since she can be seen wearing bracelets in several photographs.
Hawaiian heirloom jewelry features intricate details and can be traced back to Queen Lili‘uokalani, who helped popularize the bracelets. T he Sho p s at Wa il ea

During this same epoch, enameled jewelry became popular and was worn primarily by English royalty. It would later be called “mourning jewelry.” Gold bracelets and rings were engraved with black enamel as a way to mourn the sudden death of Queen Victoria’s beloved husband, Prince Albert. For nearly three years, the Queen allowed only the mourning jewelry in her court. The fashionable trend soon made its way to Hawai‘i, as local merchants sold pieces to members of England’s upper class who were either vacationing or living in the Hawaiian Islands. Marques Marzan, the cultural advisor for the Bishop Museum, says it was during this time that Queen Lili‘uokalani commissioned her own personal enameled bracelets, thus starting a trend that would lead to modern Hawaiian heirloom jewelry. “[Lili‘uokalani] had some [bracelets] made to bring back as gifts to family members here in Hawai‘i,” says Marzan, as he points to the Bishop Museum’s current heirloom jewelry piece on display in the Kähili Room. Engraved with “Aloha ‘Oe” (Farewell to Thee) in black lettering, one of the
gold bracelets was a gift from Lili‘uokalani to Zoe Atkinson, the headmistress at Pohukaina Girls School and event coordinator for the queen. Coincidentally, the “Aloha ‘Oe” inscription proved to be prophetic: Just days after giving Atkinson the bracelet, a U.S. military-backed coup deposed Queen Lili‘uokalani and formed a provisional government; Hawai‘i was declared a republic in 1894. “The tradition became popular because Hawai‘i had its own unique design that made our heirloom jewelry one of a kind,” Marzan explains. “While the Victorian era was still represented in the black enameling of the letters, designs that represented Hawai‘i were embellished on the jewelry to show our appreciation and association to the land. That’s what you see in Hawaiian heirloom jewelry today, with various designs of the maile lei or plumeria flowers.” Paul Sato, vice president of Na Hoku, says Hawaiian heirloom jewelry is unlike any other jewelry in the world. “It’s representative of Hawai‘i and is available nowhere else [but here],” Sato asserts. “It’s a
adorned with love
combination of handcraftsmanship, personalization and history that really doesn’t occur anywhere else.” Today, Hawaiian heirloom jewelry is given and received as a way to honor Hawai‘i’s deep connection to its ancestral past. For birthdays and graduations, it’s common for family members to purchase a Hawaiian heirloom piece as a way to commemorate the special occasion. In recent years, engagement rings and wedding bands have grown in popularity. The styles of Hawaiian heirloom jewelry have also evolved with its customers. Sterling silver and rose gold are now incorporated into designs, and engraved lettering has expanded to include color or raised options. Whatever a person’s preference, the significance will continue on to the next generation. “That’s one of the reasons why ‘heirloom,’ in the titling of the jewelry, is so significant, because that’s what truly happens,” says Sato. “History moves with the person who wears it and that makes it so special.”
