It’s nearing the end of our weeklong stay in Maui so we’re re-visiting a bunch of our favorite restaurants for second (and third) meals. Tonight, our kids seemed too punchy to eat out at a restaurant so we opted for take out from Aloha Mixed Plate. I’m not sure why we were being so selfless. If our kids are shits we ain’t coming back for another year anyway.
In all honesty, the food at Aloha Mixed plate is really only mediocre at best. Most of their items are really sweet (e.g. teriyaki beef) or too tough (e.g. kalbi) but one item that really shines is their kalua pig. It’s tender, moist, and seasoned just right. I thought the only way to order it was to get the Hawaiian plate lunch but then you get a bunch of stuff I don’t like (e.g. poi, tough haupia, rice, macaroni salad). When I called in my order tonight, I learned that you can order just the kalua pig as a side and it would only cost around $5. As a result, we cobbled together our own Paleo kalua pork salad with some take out items and things in our fridge/freezer.
From Aloha Mixed Plate, we ordered a garden salad (split between Fitbomb and I):
Three sides of kalua pig (split amongst 3 of us):
Add some nuked frozen broccoli and sliced avocado and VOILA:
Tasty, healthy, and cheap Paleo kalua pork salad!
