"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
