Mortar pestle:
Have found various ones, inc. basalt 'poi pounders' (many diff shops w/Hawaiian themed items)
Granite & other types from Macys, Ross, Kilauea Market, the Asian supply store in Hilo Shopping Center
Many cooking types at Paradise Restaurant Supply on Kamehameha (Bayfront)
We bought our porcelain one from mainland, but have gotten a few others here
ADD: Re: beetle bugs, also pantry moths will eat through unopened plastic & ziplocks....be aware that some of the shops here do have infestations...look carefully at the packages of things like flour, rice, pasta, beans & esp pet foods - we have found those tell tale small holes (slightly larger than a true 'pin hole') in all of these...
which is WHY we put everything in a container (that & I HATE pantry moths & those beetle things in my food & kitchen) If there is anything in one or the above, it will not spread to all of our food...
pet food in our house is stored out of the kitchen & in pet food only containers, due to the amount of infestations we have found in the past...
