R | WELCOME

KE ALOHA ‘ĀINA. I bid you a fond welcome to the historic land of Helumoa and Royal Hawaiian Center, and invite you to enjoy the gathering place of Waikīkī. Step into The Royal Grove, our open-air courtyard and cultural hub, to learn a hula with Puake‘ala Mann. She’s been sharing Hawai‘i’s cultural dance with the world since 1984. Take a leisurely walk through the Pā‘ina Lānai Food Court for fast, casual fare. In the evenings, relax in the lānai overlooking The Royal Grove and enjoy hula and Hawaiian music from Hawai‘i’s top entertainers.

If time is on your side, explore the Lau Niu Restaurant Dining level for THE ROYAL GROVE AN OASIS RICH WITH CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. CULTURAL LESSONS FROM HULA AND ‘UKULELE TO LAUHALA WEAVING AND KEIKI HULA. SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOW US

international cuisine and exotic cocktails. And don’t forget to shop the luxury fashion on Kalākaua Avenue, or peruse the trendy island boutiques within our refreshing interior atriums.

Royal Hawaiian Center became a part of the Waikīkī landscape in 1979. Next year, we will celebrate 40 years of Hawaiian culture, international dining, renowned shopping and more. The following pages will help you make the most of your time at The Center. I’m sure your experience here will bring you back again, and we look forward to your next visit.

Celebrate your most feminine side in every hue of the pink rainbow.

From cool blushes to hot pink, rose gold to dusty rose, pink is popping up in every shade and making every statement this season – giving you every excuse to sneak this pretty color into all of your Hawaiian holiday outfits. If you’re headed to the beach, try a hat brimming with style or a beach bag to match your pedicure.

NĀMAKA AND THE NIGHT MARCHERS

A NEW TALE OF ROAMING SPIRITS

BY MONTE MCCOMBER ILLUSTRATIONS BY JESSICA KE‘ALA TRANSLATION BY ELI LĪHAUANU MAIOHO

This year, our quarterly culture series takes inspiration from Hawai‘i’s storytelling traditions. We revisit them. We reimagine them.

And from their framework, we weave a new story. This is the second of a two-part series about Nāmaka and the Night Marchers.

Read the series in its entirety at rmagazinewaikiki.com.

ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING PARTS OF A VACATION is discovering new places to eat. And at Royal Hawaiian Center, the question is not “what to eat, but where?” As celebration season arrives, here are five mouthwatering options that will make your holidays even more memorable and delicious.

NEW YORK STATE OF MIND “It’s always Christmas here,” says Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener’s manager Fumiaki Matsuka, with a wide smile. “It’s a great place to celebrate with the entire family.

THE BUZZING SOUND FROM A PAGER CAN BE heard throughout the room as diners wave their beepers and rush to get their noodles from Ringer Hut Nagasaki Champon. Next door, lines form as people place their orders at Kazan Ramen Express. These are the two latest additions to Royal Hawaiian Center’s Pā‘ina Lānai Food Court, and they’ve created quite the buzz among visitors and kama‘āina alike.

While polar opposite in styles, the two restaurants claim the key to their noodles is the broth. The Nagasaki Champon consists of a milky chicken-andpork-bone soup topped with a variety of vegetables, including fresh cabbage and sprouts, as well as thinly sliced meat and fishcake. Another mouthwatering bowl of noodles is the Fujiyam Champon, garnished with seven types of vegetables.

On a different spectrum, the Kazan Ramen Express broth is prepared with tori paitan, a type of broth made from chicken bones. Two of the more popular options are the Vegetable Kazan Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen. Both are must-try options that easily quell those hunger pangs.

COMFORT FOOD For a different type of soup, Pho Factory offers the traditional Vietnamese pho, served with fresh vegetables and herbs: bean sprouts, Thai basil, mint, lime and peppers. Go ahead and rip up a few leaves, sprinkle it over the soup and slurp away.

Pho Factory, 808.922.1888 BEEFY BURGERS Not in the mood for soup? How about an all-American sandwich at Mahaloha Burger. The charbroiled flavor is unlike any other. The patties are always fresh and enhanced with a secret “Happy Sauce” that will put a permanent smile on your face.

Mahaloha Burger, 808.926.6500 THAT’S AMORE An award-winning franchise organization, Sbarro is known for selling its original XL New York style pizza by the slice, featuring dough made in-house daily, freshly chopped vegetables and mozzarella cheese. Gimme amore!

Sbarro, 808.922.1041 COOL TREAT The Shaka Boom bowl at KOKORO CAFÉ is a refreshing treat.

Here’s how it works: Choose your flavor (Pineapple Dole Whip, Creamy Coconut, Super Açaí Berry or Vanilla Bean), then your filling (Chocolate Cream, Sweet Red Bean or Coconut Haupia), and finally your two toppings. And kaboom! You’ve got the perfect soft-serve shaka.

KONA COFFEE Prized Cherry

Known the world over, yet grown in only one incredibly remote corner of the world, Kona Coffee is a remarkable Hawaiian crop. On the Island of Hawai‘i, the narrow “coffee belt” is in the Kona district.

RMagAdTemplate:Layout 1 9/3/19 5:45 PM Page 1

On the slopes of the Hualālai and Mauna Loa volcanoes, coffee plants luxuriate in the perfect growing conditions: volcanic soil, warm weather and many dedicated farmers upholding a centuries-old legacy. The result is a coffee supremely rich in flavor and aroma. So distinctive are these beans that, in order to be labeled “Kona Coffee,” the beans must be at least 10 percent pure Kona (though purists insist 10 percent is not enough).

At Starbucks, you can find

packaged 100 percent Kona Coffee, which is a fantastic gift or souvenir. If local is what you’re looking for, Island Vintage Coffee carries 100 percent locally roasted Kona beans. Its Peaberry is robust, made from the prized rare coffee cherries (known as peaberries) that make up just 5 percent of a typical coffee harvest. The shops also offer flavored Kona blends, as well as flavored cigars, chocolatecovered beans and wonderful gift baskets.
