Highway Inn, Waipahu
I’ll be leaving soon to go off on an adventure for a little while. I won’t be gone too long, and when I come back I’ll hopefully have lots of pictures and stories to share. If you leave a comment during this time, I promise to get to it just as soon as I can. In the mean time I’ve scheduled some posts to go up while I’m away from the computer. Enjoy!
Highway Inn is where I head off to whenever I’m craving Hawaiian food or beef stew in particular. And if I’ve been eating healthy during the past week I have no guilt at all in stopping by for a combo plate. The picture above shows my usual order, beef stew combo ($8.75). It comes with beef stew, pipikaula, haupia, rice or poi, and mac salad or lomi salmon. I really like the beef stew’s creamy texture, tangy taste, and soft pieces of beef. Although I often stick to this usual order, Highway Inn offers so much more.
But on this day we stuck to our usuals, also ordering the lau lau combo ($9.65). The same options are available as in the stew combo above, just switch the beef stew for lau lau.
Everything you need including shoyu and chili pepper water.
Here’s a close up of that pipikaula, little pieces of salty dried beef goodness. Mmmmm.
The reason that I eat healthier at home is for days like this!
