“Loco Moco” Wailuku, 2022

Hello! Day two on Maui started out with breakfast in Wailuku at SixtyTwo MarcKet. I was joking with Mariko and my nephew that Loco Moco always sounds better than it tastes, but that doesn’t stop me from trying it again and again at different places.

Well, I tried another Loco Moco at MarcKet, and I have to say it was one of the best I’ve had. The burger was excellent, with some nice char from the griddle, but I guess it’s the gravy that makes or breaks Loco Moco, and MarcKet has some great gravy. It was more like a Japanese-style hamburg steak sauce, but unique in its own way. Also, there were two sunny-side up eggs on top.. and that runny yolk! Mmmm

Mariko ordered the Brioche french toast which was also great. The combination of the sweet French toast and savory Loco Moco was perfect. Definitely recommend!

After breakfast, we dropped off our nephew and his girlfriend at the airport for their trip to Los Angeles, and then headed up-country to visit Kula Farms and the pumpkin patch. We bought some papaya, dragon fruit, and other goodies and enjoyed the beautiful views. Really awesome.

Next on our agenda was a visit to Maui Brewing Company in Kihei. Did I mention that we love visiting breweries? The flights we ordered were great, and the huli-huli chicken was yummy. I liked the open space of Maui Brewing Company and would love to come back next time we visit Maui. Plus they had some cute chickens roaming around. Fun!

“Beach Time” Kihei, 2022

After a short trip to the beach at Kamaole Beach Park II, we drove back to Wailuku and stopped by Iao Valley.

The valley is actually closed at the gate until January while they do renovations to the park, but we hung about at Kepaniwai Park by the Nature Center and took in the views for a bit before going back to town to visit Takamiya Market, Tamura’s (market), and Foodland. We are on the search for Li Hing Mui powder, which was served on fresh pineapple to us on our Oahu circle-tour. But we were unsuccessful in our search today. We did, however, pick up some poké and mac salad for dinner. 🙂

I hope you had a great day!
