A Quick Guide to Maui Food

One of my favorite things about Hawaii is the amazing food: plate lunches, shave ice, ahi poke...! I definitely had a lot of food coma naps on the beach during this trip. Below are some of my favorites sorted by area.

Lahaina

Left: Star Noodle - pork buns (not pictured), garlic noodles (not pictured), local saimin, fried soup, and local green salad (shiso ranch - so amazing!)
Right: Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice  - mango, pineapple, and li hui hing powder, and Haleakala (coconut and leche - not pictured, but my favorite!)

Left: Choice Health Bar - super delicious mango açai bowl, and green juice for a healthy morning
Right: Maui Swap Meet (Saturday in Kahului) - fresh coconut juice (tip: stroll around the market, buy local fruits and vegetables, and then return to the coconut stand when you're done with your juice so they can slice it open for you to eat the coconut meat)

Road to Hana
