We went to The Pig & The Lady stand at the KCC Farmers' Market at Kapi'olani Community College. The line was long but moved fairly fast. I had the beef short ribs plate and my husband had the oxtail soup. They gave ample food. The oxtail soup was loaded with several pieces. I'm not sure what type of rice I got but it was a little too mushy for me. The flavor of the beef was on the bland side but still good. You could taste the beef flavor. If you eat there, they have a small table area, and they help make a spot for you if it's crowded. When you place your order, you have to say that you are eating there for them to help you find a spot. The staff person who helped me was super friendly and very helpful.

Soup cravings...Unfortunately I've never been to their downtown location and yes I've tried luckily they are a regular at the Honolulu Farmers Market at the Blaisdell Concert Hall lawn every Wednesday 4pm-7pm which you're instantly able to see right off South King Street and parking is completely free so it's a easy choice to support these local small biz here.Giving my favorite places the once weekly love the gloomy weather has me craving something hot and comforting and decided on The Pig and the lady as they do have Pho and there wasn't any line which was quite unheard of so I took it as a sign and opportunity to finally give them a try.Their setup is quite nice with a bowl of what each dish consists of and with detailed description of each dish is going beyond to answer any questions or confusion anyone may have and decided on "Pho Ga" and "Tofu Banh Mi" for mom, you're given a number and pick up is on a designated table so you're able to grab utensils and napkins is a really great convenience though I do advise for you to bring your own bag as their giant brown bag was a struggle to carry. Everything was packed perfectly with the noodles was packed separate from the soup which was covered in plastic wrap making it secure is a very appreciated touch for the ride home and I was so excited and hungry after a long work week.The first thing I had try is the soup...woah! At first it was wasp of herb and flavor beyond anything I've had and I wasn't sure at first though once I was about to add the noodles I was horrified the amount of onions and green onions it was topped with knowing it was in there didn't think it would be that much and yes it's a personal thing I shouldn't asked to omit that lol! Once I was ready to go I was in complete love with it all and how the noodles had a great bite and didn't fall apart on me it had a bit of texture that picks up the yummy fragrant broth that I was in complete heaven.Mom enjoyed her sandwich it was filled with so much veggies and the tofu was more like aburage and you have a choice to go with or without mayo I decided to go without as everything on the sammie was perfect just way it is. This comforting meal was the perfect decision and you can taste all the work that goes in to it all and before long I was in food coma.Thank you!

If I only stop at 1 restaurant in Oahu. This is it, I've been here several times over the years and it never fails to disappoint This is the kind of restaurant where I'm fully comfortable flying blind and eating any suggestion. Always try your best to sit at the bar. Make a reservation or be prepared to wait awhile, great wine selection too

Was at Blaisdell yesterday for vaccination so I thought I'd pick up dinner to go at the farmer's market (and since I don't usually come here). I've heard many good things abt TP&TL. Been meaning to try but I didn't want to wait in line in Chinatown and the KCC farmers market booth was always packed. I guess one positive of COVID and social distancing is everyone like me who don't like to wait in line or squeeze with strangers get to try these usually busy stalls. The first thing I noticed was the potent and delicious scent of the pho broth. I didn't want to risk spilling soup during the drive home though. They had a lot of options to choose from so we settled on brisket curry and pork belly banh mi. The food was tasty but we weren't wowed by it like so many other reviews. The brisket curry came with one medium-sized piece of brisket propped up by giant chunks of potato and carrot. It was very tender though. The curry was dense in flavor. The pork belly seasoning is almost lemongrass-y which I enjoy and I really liked the pickled carrots and daikon and cucumber and cilantro but not the fatty belly bits. You're probably wondering why I got the pork belly if I don't like fatty bits. Coz it was for the hubs haha I stole a bite to taste!Maybe we didn't order the right items. They're a tad pricey too (average $15) but I'm happy to support local businesses, esp at these back-breaking and exhausting pop up events. The young lady who took our order was friendly and patient.

For this month, vendors are located by Blaisdell Concert Hall.They are at Blaisdell Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The staff makes the food right there so food is fresh. There is a great selection on the menu. I haven't been to the Pig and the Lady but went to Piggy Small at Ward Centers.My order was Clay Pot Pork Belly and Shrimp with yellow rice.

I remember trying pig and the lady for my 18th birthday, and getting excited to come back after I could start drinking. Unfortunately, no bar at this farmer's market pop up, but the food was as good as I recall. I tried the bún thang after seeing it on their instagram. After maybe 15 minutes it was ready and I tried it at home (I accidentally poured some of my brother's pro broth in before I poured the correct one so take this with a grain of salt). THis was a very refreshing dish with light flavors. The soup was a little sweet, with a kind of citrusy and shrimp aftertaste, kind of like a sweeter yuzu shio ramen. There were thin strips of chicken, ham, and egg and a few vegetables as well. The noodles were thin and soaked up the broth. The flavors were very comforting and familiar, and were great on a windy night. This got me hooked to coming to this farmers market.A few weeks later I got the brisket curry. Super tender beef and lovely curry but it might've given me food poisoning. I'll probably still come back though.

Beware if peanut allergy. The sign had listed the ingredients so I assumed it was complete but it did not list peanut. Anyway got the food and it had peanut. Went back to the booth to ask about it and why it wasn't listed. They basically didn't care and just said yah it has peanut.

I really wanted to like this place! I ordered the vegetarian noodle soup. It was so sweet it was like I was eating a dessert soup. I had to dump the broth and pineapple which was making it so sweet. It felt very unhealthy for dinner. There was no nutrition: only two tiny pieces of tofu for protein and the rest was carbs (noodles, 3 red things and mushroom slices). The mushrooms were good. Total rip off for the $15 price.
