At Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch, & Crab (580 N. Nimitz Hwy., Honolulu; 808/545-7979; www.samchoy.com), there are three big aquariums filled with crabs and lobsters, plus a 30-foot boat in the middle of the dining room for kids to play on. Order the crabmeat-stuffed Mahi Mahi, macadamia-nut chicken, and the coconut-glazed "onolicious" babyback ribs.
Some of the world’s best Chinese fare is served in Honolulu. The Bostocks swear by Little Village Noodle House (1113 Smith St.; 808/545-3008), which serves its dishes family-style, amid bamboo, a rice paddy mural, piped-in bird noises, and the constant clatter of plates. Don’t miss the sizzling black cod, dried green beans, and crispy gau gee (fried dumpling).
In Honolulu, the Bostock’s recommend the recently opened Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk (201 Beachwalk St.; 808/921-2345; doubles from $399). "Afterall," says Melanie, "when you’re with kids, the more space you have, the better."
Kai suggests a no-frills puka shell necklace: unadorned white disks strung on fishing wire. Get ’em at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet (Aloha Stadium, 99-500 Salt Lake Blvd., Aiea; 808/486-; open Wed., Sat., and Sun., 6 a.m.-3 p.m.). And you thought these faded with Greg Brady.
