Hanalei Poi ... no doubt about it!!!

Went into Club New Pattaya for lunch on 9-Jun and the food was GREAT and PLENTIFUL. Ordered Chicken Curry and asked to make it "hot" ... the portion was enough for 4-people. I will definitely go back again. Siam Garden is okay ... they will add raw crab to the Papaya Salad if you ask. As in most place outside of Thailand you need to ask they make it phrik mak if you want is spicy.

I use to live in Koloa and Poipu and do drive over to the southshore periodically. Poipu and the adjoining coastline has turned into a tourist destination so you won't find "plate lunch" places. If you go into Koloa you'll find two ono (tasty) cheap eats ... Koloa Fish Market and a snack shop along side of Sueoka Store. There are many other so called local places and I use to frequent Lihue Cafe for lunch before I was placed on a diet. I still cheat and love their roasted pork plate on Wednesdays ... loads of chunk pieces of pork over white rice smothered with brown gravy and fresh green salad with a soy sauce dressing (or macaroni salad). Yeap, high fat and sodium but so ono. Enough food for three normal sized people or one of me . Then there is alway the infamous Hamura Saimin stand in Lihue on Kress Street.
