Have you ever chosen a restaurant because of its dessert? I mean, sure the entrees are good. The ambiance is good. The service is good. Sometimes even beyond good in all these categories. But the desserts? Pure and utter decadence. Mouth-watering goodness. I'm-gonna-run-five-extra-miles-worth-it-ness. That's what we're talking about here. Listed below are some favorite desserts, as professed by the people who know--a few of Hawaii's food bloggers.

Today the "farm-to-table" concept thrives in Hawaii with many restaurant and at-home chefs building meals around what is grown or sourced on farms across Hawaii—from farmers they know on a first-name basis. But the locavore concept really isn't anything new to Hawaii. It existed here all along.
Hawaiian. Japanese. Chinese. Fillipino. There are many cultures that make up Hawaii today. German. Portuguese. Puerto Rican. And as each culture migrated to Hawaii over the years, they brought with them their favorite foods.
