Sweet Home Café

Several weeks ago while looking for a place to eat, I found this spot.  Sweet Home Café occupies the shop next to Kiawe Grill (sorry folks, Kiawe Grill is NOT gone) and is located across the way from India Bazaar.  I believe this place is run by a Taiwanese woman, but I just might be mistaken.  In any event, the menu is dominated by hot pots and desserts.  It wasn't really what I was looking for that night, but the mala hot pot that I had was enjoyable.

Kiawe Grill is gone? The last time I was there, Sweet Home Cafe was next door to KG. I hope the Pearl City location stays open!

We walked past this place the other day (on the way to Kiawe Grill, which is next door and was still open) and it was packed. We've been thinking about going back, glad to see it was enjoyable.

I love this place! But I've never tried the Mala hot pot. I usually get the spicy broth and grab all the things I want in it from the fridge.
I'll have to try the mala next time.

p.s. yes the owner is taiwanese, she's so sweet!

I love sweet home cafe. It is the best Taiwanese food you can find on the island. You are not mistaken, the restaurant is run by a Taiwanese lady. They have been so busy that they changed their hour from 5pm to 12am daily. The restaurant is always packed so i recommend reservations 2 days prior.

Equipment


  • Canoneos5d
    Canon EOS 5D

    Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.


  • Dscu40r
    Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40

    A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
