Hawaiian food is influenced by several cultures: Japanese, Filipino and Korean, to name a few. A plate lunch is a classic Hawaiian meal composed of an entree or combination of entrees, served with rice and macaroni salad on the side. It is the de facto meal of choice in Hawaii, and best characterizes the blend of cuisine and culture found on the Islands.


Tonight I enjoyed a dinner of saimin (thin egg noodles) vegetable soup and a shrimp burger... It was a great marriage of soft and crunchy, hot and cold!
