Visit Maui: Lineage

I've been to Maui three times so far this year, and each time I've gone to Lineage for dinner - it's one of my favorite restaurants on Maui!

Kim Chee Dip

Pipikaula

The Kim Chee Dip and Pipikaula were from the cart.  I LOVE the Kim Chee Dip.  I could've eaten the entire thing myself!

Chicharon

I also love the Chicharon, which comes with a flask of SLAB Chili Pepper Water.  I couldn't stop eating the chicharon and drinking the chili pepper water.

Cold Ginger Chicken

Farm Salad

Musubi

Portuguese Bean Soup

Adobo

Poi Mochi

Smoke Meat

There have been some changes to the menu since my last visit.  A few things are no longer on the menu, including the Musubi, but it's an off-menu item you can order!

The Musubi is still one of my faves, but the Smoke Meat is my favorite menu item.  It used to be the Cauliflower Katsu Curry, but the Smoke Meat is a must-order.

Every single dish was so delicious!  It's hard to go wrong no matter what you order.

There is now also a prix fixe menu!

Chef Robert's Mui

Tapioca Pudding

Filipino Cereal

The Filipino Cereal is one of my fave desserts.  Made with Saloon Pilots and Creme Cracker Milk - so simple, yet so good!

I had the Tapioca Pudding before, but I guess I didn't dig down deep enough the last time, because this time I scooped up all the yummy tapioca and fruit.  It was so refreshing!

Dinner at Lineage was amazing, and I'm already eager to go back!

Visit Maui: Lineage

During our quick momcation to Maui, we had dinner at Lineage at The Shops at Wailea.

Chef Sheldon Simeon's newest restaurant offers a twist on family-style local dishes that many who grew up in the islands will find very familiar. 

The meal starts off with the Cart, which is filled with an array of pupus.

We picked two:

Cone Sushi

Kimchi Dip

The Cone Sushi was filled with salmon and ikura and was quite tasty.

Nadia and I both enjoyed the addicting Kimchi Dip, which was served with made-in-Hilo Maebo One-Ton Chips.

"Housemade SPAM" Musubi

Poi Mochi

The Poi Mochi (which Nadia loved) was served with a shio koji chicken liver pate and furikake mixture that you dip the mochi into.

I really liked the "Housemade SPAM" musubi, however Nadia thought the musubi was "too meaty."

Katsu Curry

Miki Noodles

The Miki Noodles is a popular Filipino dish at Lineage.  I thought it was good and the flavors were balanced.

I love all things cauliflower, and I was very impressed with the Cauliflower Katsu Curry.  It was served atop a bed of cauliflower rice.  So delicious!

Lineage Sherbet

Chocolate

The Lineage Sherbet was a toasted rice tea flavor, topped with puffed rice and sea salt.  I'm not a big tea fan, so I didn't really care for the dessert.  I loved the Chocolate dessert, however.  It had a pretzel crust that made for a perfect sweet and salty combo!

Service was excellent, and I'm glad we got to try out a variety of dishes.

Visit Maui: The Pint & Cork

While on Maui, we went to The Pint & Cork at The Shops at Wailea for Happy Hour.

Son of an Itch

Deviled Eggs Rockefeller

Pork Belly Slider

Mac & Cheese

Garlic Parmesan Fries

I really enjoyed everything we ordered!

The Deviled Eggs Rockefeller included smoked bacon, spinach, Parmesan, and a bernaise sauce.

You can order several varieties of sliders during happy hour, but we opted for the Pork Belly.

Since my kids love Mac & Cheese, they each ordered a bowl.  It sure was cheesy, consisting of Gruyere, white cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

And happy hour would not be complete without fries, and the Garlic Parmesan Fries were sure delish!

The Pint & Cork was a great place for Happy Hour!
