The line is all part of the fun
When we landed last month in Maui, I was determined to be a good little food blogger and track down every shave ice place in Central and West Maui and report back to you the best on the island. My waistline was going to take one for the team. As it so happens, we came upon the best our second day in and I stopped my search. Read More »

Less than an hour off the plane, we found ourselves seated beachside at this Hawaiian original in Lahaina. And boy, after a five-hour flight with little snack boxes, we were pretty excited to curb our appetites!
Aloha Mixed Plate
Aloha Mixed Plate, a plate lunch restaurant in Lahaina, is about 30 minutes from Kahalui and the airport in Maui. Mixed plate is a traditional Hawaiian meal, developed by sugar plantation workers who came from all over Asia. Along with rice and macaroni salad, the plate lunch might include kalua pork, Korean kalbi ribs, Chinese chow fun or any number of other dishes.
Kalbi Ribs Plate
Since we were hungry, we all ordered regular sized portions – kalbi rib plate for me, Ali’I plate for the hubby (includes traditional LauLau, lomi lomi Salmon and poi) and the BBQ mixed plate for the kids. All came with rice and macaroni salad, and were reasonably priced, between $8.95-12.95. Smaller and larger portions are available, depending on your appetite.
Ali'i Mixed Plate
The ambiance is great – you sit at picnic tables, under umbrellas, right on the ocean. If you don’t want cocktails, you get to sit closer to the water (some regulation about alcohol on the beach). All lunches are served on paper plates with plastic utensils, which makes cleanup super easy.

Mama's Fish House, Pa'ia, Maui, Hawaii
by Gudrun Enger, of Kitchen Gadget Girl
After surviving a trip on the Road to Hana, we decided a fancy lunch was in order, and fortunately, we were able to sneak into Mama’s Fish House in Pa’ia for that lunch experience. And sneak we did, since we had spent the better part of the morning scrambling up muddy hills in search of water falls! Read More »
