3 Popular Maui Must-Haves

Maui is known for great food and fun drinks, here are three you must try! 
  • The Mai Tai: hands down the best place to get a Mai Tai on Maui is at Monkeypod Kitchen.  With Old Lahaina light and dark rums, macadamia nut orgeat, orange curacao, fresh lime juice, and topped with a liliko'i foam, this is the Mai Tai most sold on the island.  You can get a Mai Tai at almost any restaurant or bar on Maui.  For a great happy hour version, we like the one from Ohana Seafood Bar & Grill on S Kihei Rd (pictured below)
  • Shave Ice: commonly mispronounced as shaved ice, this delectable treat is made even better with a scoop of ice cream at the bottom and a Snow Cap!  Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice can be found all over the island.  The ice they use is truly shaved and they have over 45 flavors to choose from.
  • The Chocolate Pearl: for the best in fine dining and a fantastic dessert, Mama's Fish House is the place to go for a romantic or special occasion meal.  Their Polynesian Black Pearl dessert is a shell shaped chocolate wafer cookie with a pearl made of chocolate mousse, covered in glistening chocolate ganache and toasted coconut, and surrounded by a lilliko'i syrup
