Humuhumunukunukuapuae

Crazy as it sounds this restaurant is really, really good. Do you like tropical places? Do you like the ocean roar? What about the many coral reef fish? If you answered yes to any of the above questions you will simply adore the Humuhumu ( it's name for short). Though let me warn you it is well, slightly oh who am I kidding it's pretty darn pricey. I would not recommend it for the causal dinner. Its in Maui. But that can't keep it from being great. This restaurant that quite frankly towers above the others in Wailelea. It has views of the ocean but thats not why. With it's thatched roof this place gets business. Its basically just a plain old platform, but it's a platform over salt water. If you think about it all the tables are seaside. It is the place to go if you want to snorkel and not get wet. You can get fresh lobster right out from under your feet. Oh, you also get to see the scramble to get them. Trust me, its quite a sight. I would rate this a giant total of three forks. However, there is always the question, but what if the fish don't come to me? Well, don't worry they will. Here's how I know, these fish are crazy for a type of bread made with plants from the island. ( Oh and I can't blame them, they taste delicious!) Toss one into the water and pretty soon it's a feeding frenzy. If you get lucky you will get to see the very touchy Moby Dick. Ok so its not really. Moby Dick is an extremely touchy blowfish that will inflate if your shadow crosses over him. Or you might get to see a shark fight. Like when my sister tossed a whole roll into the water. Two sharks had the one piece in their mouth and were fighting. Now you're probably thinking that I'm making this all up. Well I'm not, actually the most of the visitors to your table will be the bottomless pit sand sharks. Well if you ever happen to be taking a stroll on the beach, and you happen to be in Maui, you might just want to consider this restaurant. Its a real treat!
