E kipa mai—welcome!

Aloha pumehana,

Marleen AkauGeneral Manager

Spring is a beautiful time in Hawai‘i nei with flowers, rainbows and colorful vistas everywhere. Here at Helumoa, Waikīkī, Royal Hawaiian Center gardens are in bloom, and the clear night sky is aglow with shimmering stars, flickering torches and sparkling lights. Celebrate Spring, Hawaiian style!

I am so proud to welcome you to Royal Hawaiian Center, where our outstanding mix of more than 100 shops and restaurants, top-notch entertainment and Hawaiian programming come together in a shopping destination like no other in the world. Royal Hawaiian Center is owned by Kamehameha Schools, founded by Princess Berncie Pauahi Bishop more than 125 years ago, and is managed by The Festival Companies. Where else in Waikīkī can you shop and dine and support Hawaiian education at the same time?

2013 is sure to be another year of growth and renovation at Royal Hawaiian Center, marking its 33rd anniversary. The Royal Grove—the spacious outdoor garden, gathering place and entertainment hub between buildings B and C—is the focus of many improvements for 2013. Set for completion later this year is the new combined guest services and heritage center that will also serve as a classroom, mini theater and gallery. Additional water features, improved lighting, more Hawaiian landscaping and a storytelling signage program are among our anticipated projects. Overall circulation and flow in The Royal Grove will be enhanced, enabling us to better serve our valued tenants and thousands of center guests each day.

While shopping and dining at Royal Hawaiian Center, we invite you to enjoy our complimentary cultural classes throughout the week, taught be respected kumu or teachers. Kumu Hula Puake‘ala Mann offers hula classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also teaches ‘ukulele on Wednesdays

upu means to sprout, and lau means leaf. So, the season of new growth in Hawai‘i’s lush landscape is known as Kupulau. For most malihini or visitors to our islands, the mild

variations from season to season in the middle of the Pacific Ocean are barely noticeable in contrast with continental climes that range from summer droughts to winter blizzards.

With snowfall primarily on the summits of Hawai‘i Island’s Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa (and, occasionally, on Maui’s Haleakalā), that element was virtually unknown to most Hawaiians in the days of old. However, subtle variations in makani (winds), ua (rains) and degrees of anu (cold) are often woven into Hawaiian poetry. Contrasting mehana (warmth) may allude to affection.

“Aia i ke anu, anu o Kōke‘e, ho‘opumehana i ka pili me ‘oe.” (There in the cold of Kōke‘e (on Kaua‘i), I was warmed in your embrace.) The elements are personified in this song and translation.

Wai or fresh water is the embodiment of Kāne, giver of life, one of four primary deities in the traditional ho‘omana or religion of Hawai‘i. In a classic mele or poem titled “Ka Wai a Kāne,” a question is repeatedly asked: Aia i hea ka wai a Kāne? Where is the water of Kāne? In six stanzas, the answers reveal that Kāne’s waters are found everywhere from the rising sun at Ha‘eha‘e to its setting at Lehua, in the valleys, streams, ocean, clouds, rainbows and springs. In summary, this classic mele affirms that the water of Kāne—fresh water, vital to man’s existence—can be found everywhere.

Directly inland of Waikīkī is the valley of Mānoa, whose misty rain is named “Tuahine,” meaning sister in Hawaiian. This relates to the legend of Kahalaopuna, rainbow princess of Mānoa. To the south is Pālolo valley whose rain is named Līlīlehua for a variety of kalo or taro. Pōpōkapa is a rain name shared by Nu‘uanu and Kalihi valleys north of Mānoa. When freshly pounded kapa (bark cloth) was laid out to dry in the sun and sudden showers

arrived, folks would pōpō or bundle the cloth and take it indoors until the sun reappeared to bring warmth to the day.

The rain in Hilo on Hawai‘i Island describes the kani (sound) of raindrops falling on the ‘ōhi‘a lehua —ka ua Kanilehua. Further north on that island is Waimea, home to Parker Ranch. The famous rain of that vast district is Kīpu‘upu‘u, an icy forest rain that causes pu‘upu‘u (goose bumps) on the skin.

Besides the scores of proper rain names from throughout the islands, general descriptions are used widely in Hawaiian poetry. Ua noe, ua li‘ili‘i and ua kilihune describe misty rain. Ua loku and ua nui describe pouring or heavy rain. Ua līhau, misty rain in the morning, is considered a good luck omen for fishermen.

flowers bloom year-round. One of the most symbolic pua (flowers) in the Hawaiian landscape is the lehua, the blossom of the ‘ōhi‘a tree, sacred to the volcano goddess, Pele‘aihonuamea. The young leaf buds of the ‘ōhi‘a lehua are commonly referred to as liko lehua and range in color from pink to deep burgundy. Liko means leaf bud, and is synonymous with mu‘o. A flower bud is ‘ōpu‘u, and mōhala or mōhalahala means to unfold, as flower petals. Dancers sometimes wear lei of lehua and likolehua in tribute to another goddess, Laka, primary deity of the hula.

Hawai‘i’s profusion of flowers inspired poet Don Blanding to dub the first of May (known to much of the world as May Day) as Lei Day. Prior to that 1927 designation, the territorial legislature codified official lei to represent each of the eight major Hawaiian islands. Scarlet lehua for Hawai‘i, the introduced cottage rose for Maui, kukui for Moloka‘i, kauna‘oa for Lāna‘i, hinahina for Kaho‘olawe, golden ‘ilima for O‘ahu, pungent mokihana berries for Kaua‘i, and the prized pūpū o Ni‘ihau shells for the private island of Ni‘ihau.

What contributes to Hawai‘i’s designation as one of the most beautiful places on Earth is the delicate balance of rain, sunshine, gentle tradewinds and fertile, volcanic soil. Another term for spring (besides Kupulau) is ke kau o makalapua, the season of blossoming forth.

Visit the Hawaiian language online dictionaries at Ulukau.org. When you look up makalapua, you’ll find this descriptive phrase: Nani ho‘i nā lau nahele e ‘ōmaka ana, e mōhala ana a e makalapua ana. Beautiful indeed are the budding plants, opening and blossoming. All of this Hawaiian beauty, inspired by the waters of Kāne.

The Royal Grove at Royal Hawaiian Center is more than a beautiful garden—it

is the cultural and spiritual piko (center) of this property, known for generations as “Helumoa.” Once home to ali‘i (nobility), Helumoa was an expansive ulu niu (coconut grove) where 10,000 trees grew. In breathing new life into this ‘āina (land) and re-establishing a Hawaiian sense of place, the Royal Grove has become an icon—an inviting oasis in the heart of Waikīkī.

Dozens of coconut trees now shade the area, and an array of native Hawaiian flora (right) provides an elegant green backdrop for cultural performances and classes. Above The Grove is the Kahalaopuna Bridge, named for the princess of Mānoa Valley, inland of Waikīkī. Kahalaopuna’s beauty was likened to an ānuenue (rainbow).

Royal Hawaiian Center is owned by Kamehameha Schools, established in 1884 by the will of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. In her honor, Ka ‘Ikena Ho‘oulu a Pauahi (the inspired vision of Pauahi) was created by Kamehameha graduate Sean K.K.L. Browne. The bronze statue (left) illustrates Princess Pauahi’s love for keiki (children). The Kaulani

Heritage Room is where short films, cultural messaging and a colorful mural celebrate the vibrancy of Hawaiians and share the heritage of this wahi pana (legendary place). At Lei ‘Ohu Guest Services, we welcome our guests with hospitality and aloha.

There, on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna loa volcanoes, coffee plants luxuriate in perfect growing conditions: volcanic soil, warm weather and many dedicated farmers upholding a centuries-old legacy. The coffee is supremely rich in flavor and aroma. So distinctive are these beans that, in order to be labeled “Kona coffee” they must be at least 10 percent pure Kona. (Though purists insist one-tenth is not nearly enough.)

today many of Kona’s coffee farms give tours, and even large coffee house chains are riding the wave of its appeal. Island Vintage Coffee carries 100-percent, unadulterated, locally roasted Kona beans. its Peaberry is robust, made from prized coffee cherries (known as peaberries) that make up just one-twentieth of a typical coffee harvest. The shops also offer flavored pure Kona roasts such as mellow Vanilla Mac nut and nutty coconut cream, as well as chocolate-covered beans and gift baskets. at islandwide Starbucks locations, you can find packaged 100-percent Kona coffee, which is a fantastic gift or souvenir.

WOLFGANG'S STEAKHOUSE

Elegant JapaneseOne of Waikīkī’s best-kept secrets is the lunch special at Restaurant Suntory. It’s well-known for its all-around excellence in Japanese cuisine in varying styles—teppanyaki, sushi, shabu-shabu and kaiseki meals. At lunchtime, diners can get seriously high-quality food for under $20. Try the maguro natto donburi, with fresh tuna sashimi over a bowl of sushi rice, or a bowl of noodles with assorted tempura. � ere are 29 lunch specials for $20 or under here, and they all come with an appetizer, steamed rice and miso soup.

“Steak” Your ClaimBig appetites are welcome, but notrequired, at Wolfgang’s Steakhouseby Wolfgang Zwiener. Zwiener, who trained for four decades under the wing of legendary Brooklyn steak house star Peter Luger, has brought New York City to Waikīkī. Special occasions become extraordinary—and ordinary meals special—when you add USDA prime steak, dry-aged on the premises, and a fi ne vintage fromWolfgang’s wine list, recently lauded by Wine Spectator. Relax in this charming, old-world ambience with an island touch.

You’re on a roll. So far you’ve scored perfect new sandals, earrings and a hand-printed scarf for après-beach cocktails, plus Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day gifts and plenty of souvenirs to bring home. Take a break and enjoy a meal at Royal Hawaiian Center.

Terrific TeppanyakiMeals at Okonomiyaki Chibocome with built-in entertainment. teppan chefs slice, dice, and expertly toss the freshest of ingredients around on the flat-top grill right in front of you. Seared ‘ahi, bought directly from a local fishing boat, is served atop grilled bok choy and topped with finely diced kabocha pumpkin, tomato, onion, and the chef ’s grated turnip citrus-soy sauce, or ponzu. The best-loved appetizer is garlic shrimp, which is good enough to give the north Shore trucks a run for their money, while the house specialty is a savory Japanese pancake that is cooked to order with nearly any ingredient in the world and sliced like a pizza.

Take a Trip to Beijingauthenticity rules at Beijing Chinese Seafood Restaurant, and the consensus among those who know is: it's best to go during the daytime, as the restaurant is less busy than it is for the dinner crowd. This elegant dining room serves true chinese food, with dim sum, made

The main boulevards and streets in Waikīkī are named after kings, queens and other

members of Hawai‘i’s royal family who left social, political and cultural impacts in the Islands. � is quick reference guide, along with pronun-ciation tips, will help you learn more about the people behind the names:

Kalākaua (kah-laah-kow-ah) Avenue: � e main thoroughfare in Waikīkī is named after King David Kalākaua. He ruled the Hawaiian Islands from 1874 to 1891. He was nicknamed the “Merrie Monarch” because he was a patron of the arts and revived hula—which had been banned in the mid-1800s by missionaries—and built ‘Iolani Palace in Downtown Honolulu, the only offi cial royal residence in the U.S.

Kūhiō (coo-he-oh) Avenue: � is street honors the memory of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole. Known as “� e Citizen Prince,” Kūhiō was a delegate to Congress for nearly 20 years after the Hawaiian Islands were annexed by the U.S. He passed the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, a program returning a portion of lands in Hawai‘i that were confi scated by the U.S. to native Hawaiians.

Lili‘uokalani (lee-lee-ooh-oh-kah-lah-knee) Avenue: Named after Hawai‘i’s last monarch, Queen Lili‘uokalani. She inherited the throne in 1891, but was deposed by a coup of American and European businessmen two years later. In 1895 the queen was charged with treason by the provisional government and imprisoned in ‘Iolani Palace, where she wrote the song “� e Queen’s Prayer” and a memoir called “Hawai‘i’s Story by Hawai‘i’s Queen.”
