MAUI- A Vietnamese Experience for Cheap But Excellent

Exotic Foodies, are ya comin ta Maui? Okay you so have that plane ticket, you're cussing out American Airlines because they wanna charge you some for an extra bag, and you want to take you and your wife's golf clubs. No deal! Too much! So you'll rent clubs when you get here, very well. Now you get here, you are in your convertible rental car, it's 3 in the afternoon, the tradewinds are nil, and you are sweating, it's 90 degrees, but you love it anyhow, this is paradise.

The economy isn't fully recovered, whatever that means, all I know is that there are still people here on Maui that aren't working full-time or at all. You may be in a financial predicament, you won't spend a lot on food and entertainment, that's the agreement that you and your wife signed on the dotted lines before coming here. Case closed, you will limit your eatery budget, no extravagant dining on the beach, or in the hotel's fine dining restaurant. Nope. Noway man.

So, you do have an exotic and somewhat of an erotic liking to foods from around the world. Okay so you ask me, "Hey Chef Ron, man where's a cheap or inexpensive place to get some great Asian kind of food. And please don't tell me Panda Express, I'll kill you!"

"Wo wo wo, junior, take a chill pill, and a hit off of your joint K? Look, there's no need for killing anyone, especially moi, I don't wanna die just yet, and for giving you some bad info like going to Panda's."

Now you want some good exotic foods? Here's where to go, and the food is really really good. Head to the Lahaina Cannery Mall's food court, located in the middle of the mall is a place called Bale Vietnamese Food and it rocks man.

Just the other day I had their Spicy Lemon Grass Chicken for 8.25, came with the standard Jasmine Rice, Green Salad w/ their House Dressing. It was great. Their sandwiches are awesome as well, and they do make their own mayonnaise, that's the ticket, home made stuff man, it really adds to the whole dining experience. Check them out. 10a-9p M-Sat; 10a-7pSun
