Visit Hawai`i Island: Pele's Kitchen

Eager to try a new-to-me breakfast spot, we headed to Pahoa to try Pele's Kitchen.

The restaurant is definitely reflective of the Pahoa / Puna vibe, with colorful and nature-focused paintings and murals.  Even the tables and chairs are decked out in celestial designs. 

The breakfast menu is quite extensive, but I was surprised that not many of the options had bacon in it. 

Cajun Scramble

I had the Cajun Scramble, which came with spinach, green onions, cheddar, and spicy Portuguese sausage.  The Portuguese sausage was not spicy at all, and I was surprised they added salsa to the scramble.  Although I think the scramble would've been better without the salsa, I thought overall the dish was tasty and satisfying.  I opted for Hash Browns vs Rice.  

Country-Fried Steak N Eggs

My friend got the Country-Fried Steak N Eggs, which he really enjoyed.  He said the steak was good, and the gravy was great too (I was wishing the gravy was on the scramble instead of the salsa!).

Each dish was served with a medley of local fruits.

Service was good, and although the prices were pretty high for breakfast, Pele's Kitchen was a nice spot for breakfast.
