Kahului is the one of the biggest cities in Maui and here you’ll find the main airport,plenty of malls,chain restaurants,and Maui Community College. It is also home to some seriously good food trucks! There’s a tiny patch of shoulder on Kahului Beach Road,right across the street from Maui CC,where a couple food trucks pump out some of the best food on the island.
This is from our second day in Maui! After sufficiently exploring the area near our hotel,we drove around Central Maui to try and find some local grub. jQuery(“document”).ready(function(){jQuery(‘#ngg-gallery-87-1172′).galleryView({panel_width:600,panel_height:400,frame_width:40,frame_height:40,transition_interval:0,overlay_color:‘#222′,overlay_text_color:‘white’,caption_text_color:‘#222′,background_color:‘transparent’,border:‘none’,nav_theme:‘dark’,easing:‘easeInOutQuad’});});Before I left for China,my parents had mentioned that I had to make it a point to go to Wang Fu Jing in Beijing. Wang Fu Jing is actually just the name of a street that runs north to south and is just slightly east of the Imperial Palace. The street consists entirely of shops and restaurants. The shops range from large department stores to smaller privately owned centers,so in that sense it kinda reminded me of Times Square in NYC or even the area around Macy’s at Herald Square. Where it differs though is that there’s a small entrance way that leads to an back network of alleys filled with street vendors. That’s where the REAL treasure of this place is. If you think the picture above looks lethal,let me assure you,it’s way more lethal than you could possibly imagine. This spicy concoction is from a hot pot place located a couple blocks from my uncle’s apartment so location-wise,it was really convenient. On top of that,they give you a voucher for 20RMB for every 100RMB you spend…so a good deal if you’re a hot pot lover. My uncle’s word of advice was to stick to hot pot places that are well established like this one simply because you can be that much more sure of the cleanliness of the restaurant.  |  | |
