One thing that I learned about Hawaii when I moved from the Big Island to Oahu for college is that despite living in the same state and having the same obsession with SPAM, there’s still quite a lot of foods that you can go your entire life without eating, even though its in your ethnic food group.
Butter yaki is a perfect example.
Before I met my husband, met his parents, and ate his mother’s cooking, I’d never even heard of Butter Yaki.
