'Broke da mout' is Pigeon English, (a combination of English, Spanish, and various Polynesian languages used by 18th and 19th century traders to communicate with pacific islanders). Literally “broke the mouth” meaning it’s so good that it broke my mouth when I ate it. “No ka oi” is Hawaiian for “none better”, usually used when referring to the Island of Maui, the “Garden Isle, no ka oi”.
