The Loco Moco

Loco Moco, what is it? First of all I need to mention the picture here on this blog post is a loco moco, however I had to paste this picture from another website because I did not have time to cook one for you guys. So thanks to the guys a www.inuyaki.com for this beauty.

Okay guys who don't know what this is, a Loco Moco is a dish made up of seasoned hamburger steaks (patties), and seared to perfection, it is then topped with brown gravy, and two eggs cooked the way you want it. Most people have it sunny side up or over easy so the yolks run right in with the gravy. It is served with two scoops of white rice or fried rice, however now days people are opting for healthier brown rice. And we cannot forget the macaroni salad. Mac salad as the locals say, is just boiled macaroni, seasoned with salt and pepper, it may come with minced onions, minced celery and carrots, depending on the chef or cook, even canned crab meat or tuna is added, or even canned green peas. But remember, a good mac salad has rich real mayonnaise. Good cooks use real mayonnaise of good quality. I like Best Foods.

So this my friends visiting the islands, go and have your fill of our local foods, and if you see Loco Moco on the menu, have a go with that, it'll definitely fill you up. Now if you are still hungry, order another one, if the eatery sells mini plates, ask for a mini loco moco to go.

Here are some of the well known eateries that have it here on Maui.

Aloha Mixed Plate, Da Kitchen, Tasty Crust, L&L Drive Inns, Zippy's, Honolua Store, Sam Sato's, Koho, Kahana Grill.

And if you go to the outer islands especially Honolulu, you'll get a lot of options for Loco Moco, in fact Honolulu has more local eateries than Maui does. Good luck foodie!
