Kihei food trucks 2022 update
Here is my May 2022 update on Kihei’s food truck court tucked in behind Azeka shopping plaza. There are additional trucks in South Kihei.
The best donuts and malasadas on Maui
In honor of Fat Tuesday, here is my list of where to find the best donuts and malasadas when on Maui. Donut lovers rejoice!
New upcountry brewery and pizza
Last night we checked out Maui’s new brewery Mahalo Aleworks. Fun and a little different, great beer and food!
Upcountry roadtrip and restaurant update
Sig and I love taking a Maui-style roadtrip to Ulupalakua Ranch. The views, the burgers and then dessert are worth the drive.
Hula Cookies
Hula Cookies at the Maui Harbor Shops has the best cookies, and makes amazing gourmet icecream sandwiches. A wonderful Maui treat!
Maui’s own German Bakery!
Some of you may know that I (Cara) grew up in Austria. It’s been a while, but one of the things I really miss is a good grainy loaf of bread. While Costco has a decent loaf in their bakery section, it doesn’t come close to the Austrian/German Bakery of[…]
Lunch at Ami Ami
Prior to Covid our family frequently ate out for lunch or dinner to celebrate special occasions. Covid has changed that, but this past week we had cause for celebration and I insisted. After much deliberation, we agreed to try ‘Ami Ami’ for lunch. Ami Ami is located along South Kihei[…]
Kihei food truck court
UPDATE: I wrote an food truck court update May 2022. Enjoy. I have a confession to make – I’m a bit of a food truck snob. Maybe snob isn’t the right word. Maybe it would be better to say I have a bit of a phobia of food trucks. On[…]

Our family likes to celebrate special days with freshly made warm malasadas. One of us recently celebrated a birthday, so I got up early to pick up a dozen from a local diner. What are malasadas? Malasadas are a Portuguese donut – essentially they are large donut-holes: deep-fried yeast balls,[…]
Treats from Komoda’s Bakery
Yesterday my son had another cross country race. This one was at an upcountry high school. As we drove up Haleakala Hwy, he asked – Mom, can you pick up Komoda’s for the team? Komoda’s is a family run bakery in Makawao that celebrated its 100th anniversary a few years[…]
My favorite restaurant
We recently went out for lunch for my birthday. I love celebrating birthdays. My favorite lunch restaurant is this wonderful place called Gannons. Unless you are a golfer, it is possible that Gannons is off your radar. It is located in the club house of the Emerald and Gold Golf[…]
Tin Roof take-out lunch
What is your favorite take-out food? Are you a fast-food kind of person, or do you prefer better quality? Sometimes our lives are so busy, we don’t have time to sit down and eat a decent meal. Maui’s own Top Chef Sheldon Simeon’s Tin Roof restaurant is the answer to that[…]
Random foods
Recently I was sorting through pictures on my phone and found various random food photos. Pictures I’d taken with intention of blogging about them. Life has been busy and as you may have noticed, my blogging has slowed down. So, instead of four blog entries, I thought I’d just post[…]
