Balai Pata - Review - Kahului - Maui - The Infatuation

"At Balai Pata in central Maui, prepare to experience table envy. You’ll see knockout Filipino food stacked high on the tables around you and want it all. It’s best to bring a group so you can try a lot of everything (though, you’ll risk fork jousting over the last bite of shrimp ukoy and sisig). While Balai Pata also offers some local-style dishes, stick to the Filipino flavors, like lechon, sinigang, and garlic malungay noodles, the vivid green strands made with malungay grown by the chef himself. Finish with the halo-halo, an exuberant bowl of shaved ice, ube ice cream, jellies, and fruit, and big enough for two." - Martha Cheng
