Waikiki Spam Jam 2024
First time attending since living in Oahu part time! There was so many interesting food combos that included spam! I know Spam isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so it’s either you like it or you don’t.
I was NOT expecting to actually enjoy the Spam Gelato but it actually paired really well with the subtle caramel flavoring. Salty but sweet! My favorite from the combo plate was actually the Spam Pork Hash! Can’t go wrong with some good Dim Sum 😋
Next up in May is Frolics Poke Fest! Stay tuned! (Pronounced poh-kay)
