LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
FOODLAND POKE
The ahipoke(raw tuna) is served fresh, cheap and in endless combinations at the
Foodland grocery store seafood counter (
www.foodland.com
)
. It's one of the best
culinary deals on the island. Our favorite part? The free samples! If you're after a
meal to-go, ask for apokebowl, which comes with a hefty helping of rice. The
spiced ahipokeis outstanding.
Eating
Juicy burgers. Macadamia nut-crusted fish.
Kalua
pork (cooked in an underground pit).
Spicy ahi poke (cubed, marinated raw fish). And triple berry pie. Need we continue? La-
haina has the finest dining scene on Maui. But fine food draws hungry hordes. Many
folks staying in Kaʻanapali pour into Lahaina at dinnertime and traffic jams up. Allow
extra time and make reservations for the nicer restaurants. For breakfast, consider Aloha
Mixed Plate (

This is the Hawaii you came to find: friendly, open-air and on the beach. For a
thoroughly Hawaiian experience, order the Aliʻi Plate, packed with
laulau
(a steamed
bundle of meat and salted butterfish, wrapped in taro and
ti
leaves),
kalua
pig,
lomilomi
salmon (minced and salted with diced tomato and green onion), poi (steamed, mashed
taro) and
haupia
(coconut pudding) and, of course, macaroni salad and rice.
The restaurant now serves breakfast, which sticks to the Hawaiian theme - not to men-
tion your ribs - with dishes like loco moco and
kalua
pig omelets.
