Halo Asian Mix
Hawaii’s cuisine reflects the state’s melting-pot ethnic makeup, with native Hawaiian, Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese and mainland American influences. Most of these cultures get their own section on the menu of this tiny lunch counter, and everything’s delicious. For a taste of authentic diner fare, order a plate lunch: chicken katsu, barbecue or hamburger steak plus “two scoop rice” and macaroni salad. Or try Spam loco moco (grilled slices over rice with brown gravy and two fried eggs) or Spam musubi (sushi-style with rice and seaweed). Throw in a bubble tea smoothie and take a culinary vacation to the islands.
