MAUI- Local Faves Chicken Curry Katsu

When visiting the islands, and wanting to eat what we locals love to eat, one local plate we love is called a Chicken Curry Katsu with 2 scoops of white rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. It is also called Katsu Curry. The spices for the curry is the usual spices found in Malay and Thai curries, or Indian curries, so it is kind of on the spicy, but most local chefs keep it mild. What this is is really a chicken katsu with a curry sauce or gravy over it. 


Some curries have veggies in it, some places will serve it without veggies. When in the islands, look for Chicken Curry Katsu, or Katsu Curry. Locals love to eat savory dishes with gravy or sauces, and plate lunches are really comfort foods, the influences of this dish is Japanese because of the katsu and white rice, Italian for the macaroni salad, with French for the mayonnaise in the macaroni salad, and Southeast Asian with the curry sauce that tops it. So local foods are really world influenced foods.
