What goes into a traditional Filipino meal? It can be a difficult question to answer when every family has their own take on every recipe. Plantation Grindz is no exception: They're proud of the way they cook their Filipino dishes, whether it's crispy lumpia, hearty pork adobo, or a heaping plate of pancit. Based in the Pacific Rim's most diverse cultural melting pot, Maui's best Filipino restaurant incorporates many local Hawaiian favorites into their cuisine, such as Spam and saimin, to create meals as unique as they are authentic.

Here are the elements of a delicious Filipino meal you might find at Plantation Grindz:

• The Rice: No Filipino meal is complete without rice. Similar to curries, many popular Filipino dishes are nearly impossible to eat without it. Plantation Grindz offers delicious white rice served plain, fried, or with eggs. There's no better way to fill your stomach!

• The Dish: On top of your rice, you can choose from a multitude of savory Filipino dishes made from fish, squid, shrimp, ham, and chicken. At Plantation Grindz, you can order full meals, to-go sacks, or snacks, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

• The Dessert: After you've eaten your dinner, several tasty treats are available at Plantation Grindz. One of the most popular Filipino desserts is halo halo, a gorgeous sweet bean sundae you can order with a scoop of ube ice cream. Banana lumpia and bubble tea are also available for dessert.
