I absolutely LOVED Maui, and am looking for any opportunity to return. How lucky you are to be from there! And I will be sure to ask you where to eat before we go ;-)

Anyway, I’m from Maui and I just wanted to say that I’m sorry you had such an unlucky impression of Hawaii. I’ve never had a hot dog besides at an occasional family barbecue, and although tacos and mexican food are big, you missed out on huuuuuge local foods that steal the prize! Poke, for one, our absolutely amazing local takes on sushi (like Sansei and the sushi restaurants in Kihei), great vietnamese restaurants, local food, including the staple plate lunch with fish or chicken and mac salad, shoyu and teri chicken and beef, local-kine noodles and saimen, and the list goes on… One thing you did get is Komoda upcountry though, although one of the best towns for good eats, Paia (much better in comparison to Makawao), with Mana Food, the haven of all health food stores, is also worth multiple meal visits.

I hope your next trip there will be a bit better, and to get a great taste of import local blends of korean and chinese food, Honolulu is wonderful. Although restaurants can be expensive on Maui, that’s just where the tourists go… the best stuff is relatively cheap, and amazing! You just have to know who to ask, I suppose.
