Here's a translation / breakdown for those of you who have never heard Hawaii's unique pidgin english "language".

"Ho brah" - A standard greeting believe it or not. Like "hey man".
"Todays one is da winnah" - Today's special is a winner!
"Get one beeg cheekin cutlet" - It includes a big piece of chicken cutlet
"Broke da mouth teri beef" - delicious teri beef
"Two scoops rice, mac salad and chili all ova!" - Two scoops of rice, macaroni salad and chili all over.
"Supah ono... da buggah stay loaded!" - It's really good! It's a huge mixed plate!

It actually sounds kinda funny when writing it out like this but local Hawaii folks speak this way all the time.

I do not like Macaroni Salad...I always get an extra scoop of rice. Otherwise...Hawaiian food FTW!

Hmmm.... good question! XD!

Can anyone guess where Kana and Nemu are having lunch at? Local Hawaii folks will have an easy time figuring it out me thinks...

I want to say Rainbow drive-in. Mac salad is ok but I aways put a lot of pepper on to keep it from tasting to boring.

To bad Kana didn't stop by the now defunct Masa's. She would have a plate lunch that would have kept her fend for a week! ;)

I'm hoping to see Kana's reaction to the SPAM musubi.

being from canada, hearing "pidgin" reminded me of www.pidgin.im

but being from canada had nothing to do with that. our language is strange enough on its own it seems. :3

Ha, when people speak pigin I wonder what people that aren't local would think. I think Kana thinks that man is speaking gibberish! That background reminds me of L&L drive-in for some reason!

Hawaiian Ai - Plate Lunch

Panel 1: Kana is standing in line at a local eatery in Hawaii. Nemu is hanging out in her backpack. She gets to the front counter and asks questions about the menu.
Kana: Hi! Could you please tell me what's in your mixed plate special?

Panel 2: The cashier explains what's in todays mixed plate special, counting each item in the plate lunch on his fingers. Kana is startled!
Cashier: Ho brah, todays one is da winnah! Get one beeg cheekin cutlet, broke da mouth teri beef, two scoops rice, mac salad and chili all ova! Supah ono... da buggah stay loaded!

Panel 3: Another person in line reassures Kana while the cashier looks on. Kana is confused and surprised while Nemu looks happy.
Bystander: It's a really big meal!
Kana: Oh! Err... was he speaking english?
