Maui. Wailuku. Plate Lunch.

We decided to go Hawaiian for the day; away from the resorts, into the misty hills and the classic plate lunch diners.We ventured into what looked like a place for regulars, Three Sisters, and were greeted by an excited waitress, eager to share her family's cooking.  I was surprised at the amount of Asian influence and absence of fish in the offerings. Each diner also had access to a salad bar, consisting of green salad, or macaroni and cheese.

Saimen Noodles, with artificial fish strips, pork, egg, bean sprouts and asian greens.
 Karabe ribs. Seriously delicious. A slight coffee note in a rich, brown sugary BBQ sauce.
 Asadong Manok Kare: mild coconut chicken curry with bok choy.
 
We saw it in the fridge and had to ask. Taro, coconut cream pie. The waitress gave us a slice free of charge, likely because she was just so excited we wanted to try it. I normally wouldn't think potato, coconut cream pie - but in it's own way it worked.
