I decided to add an informal rating system for The Tasty Island based on Hawaii’s very own Spam Musubi! Informal, meaning that the “Musubi Grade” won’t be mathematically averaged from total point scores on a set of various criteria, but simply by my overall impression of the restaurant, item or recipe at hand.

There’s undoubtedly other websites out there with the same or similar grade icon. Still, it’s another fun, simple and easy way to identify with visitors that The Tasty Island truly has Hawaii in its heart. Later on to keep things interesting, I may consider changing the icon to Shave Ice!

Where did this soon-to-be “famous” Spam Musubi come from, you ask? A small convenience shop on the ground floor of the Dole Cannery. Perfectly delicious. A 5-Spam Musubi’er!

The Tasty Island Spam Musubi Rating System:

• 
  (5) Superb. Worthy of repeat visits or purchases. (Broke Da’ Mout’!)
• 
  (4) Excellent. Worth another visit or purchase. (Winnahz!)
• 
  (3) Very Good. Considerable of another visit or purchase. (Supah’ Ono!)
• 
  (2) Good. I’m glad I tried it. (Ono)
• 
  (1) Average. (She Go)

Notice I don’t have anything below average as I don’t want to go into “bashing” territory. If an item is included and is below average, I may make a note of it and that’s it. If it’s so bad that it reduces my entire impression of the product or restaurant, then that said place or product will simply not be qualified to be posted on this blogsite. This isn’t the “yucky” island, it’s The TASTY Island!
