Yum, saimin!
The five hour flight to Maui was uneventful. As soon as we landed we grabbed our bags and rental and drove to Da Kitchen! It was close to the airport, rated highly on yelp, and we sat down in a cool restaurant to enjoy our first meal in Maui. Noah ordered saimin which is a noodle soup developed in Hawaii which incorporates various foods like ramen (Japanese), mein (Chinese), pancit (Filipino), cabbage (Korean), and sausage (Portuguese) that reflects the diverse group of laborers in the historic plantation days of Hawaii. That is the amazing thing about food, how it signifies and symbolizes so much. Noah may not understand the cultural complexities of eating saimin at this point, but as you can see he enjoyed it. What will be our next Hawaiian dish???
