Bakery · Chinatown
"Liliha Bakery’s beloved cases are stocked with mochi donuts, rainbow layer cakes, and (the local favorite) Coco Puffs, a chocolate-pudding filled cream puff topped with butter frosting. But the original Liliha Bakery also happens to double as a legendary diner, serving excellent crisp waffles, butter rolls with nuclear red jelly, and oxtail soup. Though the business now includes five locations, a seat at the counter of the original Liliha on Kuakini Street is still the best move." - Martha Cheng, Kathy YL Chan
