What we can do, however, is give you the basics that makes reading and speaking Hawaiian easier. We are not native Hawaiian speakers - and we did not grow up on the island with an infusion of daily Pidgin. Important Note: There is no way we can teach you either Hawaiian or Pidgin. Hawaiian Dictionary: Hawaiian-English, English-Hawaiian If you're on the Big Island and want to step away from the tourist route, this is the place for you.To use this site you must read and agree to our Terms and Conditions - Click Here My husband's fries were served in a SPAM can which made us laugh because SPAM is ultra-popular in Hawaii. It was lunch time and the restaurant was PACKED, with many customers taking orders to go. It's a popular place with local people, which to my mind is always the sign of a good restaurant. Apologies if I got the name or spelling of the latter wrong because that was one of the BEST dishes I ever tasted! Service is informal but great! Very friendly, very efficient. I ordered a mixed plate with beef and furikake chicken. It's not a fancy place, but you can't eat atmosphere. When we ate at Broke da Mouth Grindz that was exactly the delicious experience we enjoyed. It took some doing to find the place, tucked out of sight from the road in a strip mall, but wow, was it worth the search! FYI, "Broke da mouth!" is a phrase I first read in "Pupus to Da Max"'s companion volumes, "Pidgin to Da Max" and Pidgin to Da Max: Hana Hou." It's what you say when something you eat is so wonderfully tasty that it's overwhelming. I was determined to renew my happy relationship with Mixed Plate/Plate Lunch and read a review recommending BROKE DA MOUTH GRINDZ. Yes, we were sure, we had our first taste of it, and we were all instant fans! Fast forward to this trip, visiting the Big Island. At first we got an "Are you SURE?" look, because it's not exactly the sort of thing tourists seek out. As soon as our kids found out about it, they wanted to try it, so we asked someone at our hotel.
Mixed Plate/Plate Lunch has a history with my family. There are some variations, but that's the basic idea. It consists of your choice of meat, two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. We've visited Hawai'i at least five times over the years and on one of our earlier trips I bought a book called "Pupus to Da Max!" about authentic, popular Hawaiian food: malasadas, shave ice, loco moco, and the #1 (for me) dish, Plate Lunch, aka Mixed Plate.
