Two Scoops Rice in Hawaiian Style BBQ Plate Lunch
Hungry for Plate Lunch
In Hawaii, lunch time usually means heading down to the local L & L Hawaiian Barbeque and getting a plate lunch.
There are a variety of meats available including pork, chicken, beef, fish or curry.
The portions are enough to satisfy a Polynesian appetite and usually comes with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad.
If you are very health conscious, you can trade one scoop of rice for a vegetable salad or coleslaw. The meat is served on a nest of grated cabbage and comes with soya sauce, tartar sauce or a lemon depending on the meat.
