Judge's Comments#1 Aiea Manapua and Snacks Judge 1 - Taste 7...Texture 6...Presentation 6. Lots of filling. Judge 2 - Taste 10...Texture 10...Presentation 10. Chunks of ginger and green onions-yum. A lot of ingredients make up this pork hash. Judge 3 - Taste 7...Texture 6...Presentation 7. Peppery taste, a little rubbery. Judge 4 - Taste 8...Texture 9...Presentation 9. I like the veggies! Most colorful of them all. Noodle too thin. Judge 5 - Taste 9...Texture 9...Presentation 7. Meat taste is superb! Flavorful. Wrapper pairs well with filling. However I wish there was a little more wrapper to the overall product. Presentation creepy. Judge 6 - Taste 10...Texture 7...Presentation 9. Nice presentation. Meat is a little tough. Too much grissle. Wrapper was a little too thin. Ingredients were good. Detected scallion, green onion, water chestnut. Complex taste. #2 Island Manapua Judge 1 - Taste 7...Texture 7...Presentation 6. Judge 2 - Taste 8...Texture 4...Presentation 8. A lot of meat chunks and the wrapping is a nice yellow color. The taste is very good but it's oily which comes from the "fat" chunks. Judge 3 - Taste 7...Texture 7...Presentation 8. Good taste. Chunky bits of pork and stuff. Judge 4 - Taste 8...Texture 8...Presentation 7. Good taste! Not real salty like the others. Too bad noodle is thin. Judge 5 - Taste 9...Texture 9...Presentation 9. Nice balance of wrapper and meat. Meat is very tasty! Great overall pork hash. Judge 6 - Taste 6...Texture 5...Presentation 4. Juicy, lumpy, meat look. Undercooked. Didn't like long look. I like it round. This was rectangular. #3 Libby Manapua Shop Judge 1 - Taste 5...Texture 6...Presentation 8. Judge 2 - Taste 3...Texture 6...Presentation 2. Look scary because it's shaped like an hour glass and the wrapper doesn't stick to it. Texture okay but the meat is sweet. Judge 3 - Taste 8...Texture 8...Presentation 7. Different but good taste. Good meat and wrap. Judge 4 - Taste 8...Texture 9...Presentation 9. Pretty! Look like flowers. Liked the thick noodle. Good coloring. Judge 5 - Taste 7...Texture 8...Presentation 8. Meat has a flavorful slightly sweet quality. A little on the oily side. Wrapper accompanies meat well. Judge 6 - Taste 5...Texture 5...Presentation 4. Kind of bland, sweet. Nothing special. Kind of dry. #4 Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory Judge 1 - Taste 7...Texture 6...Presentation 6. Pretty sure this is from Chun Wah Kam. Judge 2 - Taste 5...Texture 5...Presentation 7. Average taste and texture but I like the way the wrapper sticks to the meat. Judge 3 - Taste 7...Texture 7...Presentation 6. Typical pork hash. Judge 4 - Taste 5...Texture 5...Presentation 5. Looks yellowy in color. Meat is pinkish. Judge 5 - Taste 5...Texture 6...Presentation 8. Meat overwhelms wrapper. Meat looks like it comes from a can. Yellow wrapper looks attractive but has no body or flavor. Judge 6 - Taste 5...Texture 4...Presentation 5. Wrapper came off easily. Meat is lean, sweet and a little dry. Yellow color is a little off putting.
Judge 1 - Taste 7...Texture 7...Presentation 7. Judge 2 - Taste 4...Texture 4...Presentation 5. Okay, but not outstanding. Looks mushy and may have chunks of fat. Judge 3 - Taste 6...Texture 6...Presentation 6. A bit bland. Judge 4 - Taste 4...Texture 4...Presentation 4. Noodle too thin. Little salty! Judge 5 - Taste 4...Texture 5...Presentation 5. Not too much flavor. Nothing special. Looks too round. I thought I could start bouncing it on the ground like a rubber ball. Judge 6 - Taste 5...Texture 5...Presentation 6. Wrapper came off. Kind of plain taste. Nothing special. Slightly salty. I liked that wrapper completely covers the meatball.
Judge 1 - Taste 2...Texture 2...Presentation 3. Judge 2 - Taste 2...Texture 2...Presentation 3. Spam mushi meat. Also very sweet. Judge 3 - Taste 6...Texture 5...Presentation 6. Mushy. Weird taste. Judge 4 - Taste 3...Texture 3...Presentation 2. Meat looked kinda whitish in color. Didn't like the crunchiness in the meat. Noodle too thin. Judge 5 - Taste 6...Texture 1...Presentation 7. Tastes like it contains some form of seafood in it. Weird. Overall pork hash on the mushy side. Meat quality looks unappealing and pale. Judge 6 - Taste 8...Texture 8...Presentation 8. Wrapper was just right in thickness and softness compared to the meatball. Meat was cooked just right. Wrap was fancy.
Judge 1 - Taste 2...Texture 2...Presentation 4. Wrap had a weird taste. Judge 2 - Taste 1...Texture 1...Presentation 3. Very scary looking. Needs shoyu and mustard. Judge 3 - Taste 3...Texture 4...Presentation 3. Weird looking. Almost spam like. Judge 4 - Taste 2...Texture 2...Presentation 1. Tasted almost fishy. Judge 5 - Taste 3...Texture 2...Presentation 5. Meat taste and looks like it's from the can. Wrapper a little tough. Filling has a strange unidentifiable taste to it. Judge 6 - Taste 4...Texture 4...Presentation 3. Wrapper is kind of hard. Taste of meat is too sweet. Different shape of pork. Tall! Just packed meat. Looks processed.
