Hungry for home-style Filipino cooking? Elena's Restaurant now brings their yummy goodness to downtown Honolulu two Thursdays a month. Founders Elena and Theo Butuyan are now retired and living in Las Vegas, leaving their daughter Mellissa to continue the family business. Mellissa and her family not only run the restaurant in Waipahu, which was featured on the Food Network's TV show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but they have also added a lunch wagon.
I discovered Elena's Super Friends lunch wagon parked in front of the Central Pacific Bank building on the corner of Alakea and South King streets one day last month. For $8, you can get one entree item (pork adobo, sari sari, chicken adobo, etc.) and a scoop of rice, pancit bihon, and pork lumpia. For $2 more, you can add a second entree and for $3 more, their famous lechon. The photo below shows my 2 choices plate of lechon and chicken adobo ($11). Today, I had the pork adobo and sari sari ($10). Sorry, no photo this time because I was too hungry!
Elena's Super Friends lunch wagon will be back in the same location from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as follows:
Aug. 14 & 28
Sep. 11 & 25
Oct. 2 & 30
Nov. 13 & 20
Dec. 4 & 18
For those who are familiar with Elena's, the lunch wagon is also offering their famous fried rice omelet!!!
