The Cook / by Dave Hileman

We were warned by several people to take food on the Road to Hana because options were very limited or even non-existent. Not the day we drove. We stopped for a great banana bread in a little village and then, stumbled on this place. An old bus served as the kitchen and a platform around it with picnic tables provided the dinning area. Only two choices, coconut shrimp or fish. We ordered the shrimp. I do not like coconut but I figured I could eat one and the potatoes. The shrimp was fantastic. The coconut was fresh, fried, abundant and crispy. No aftertaste, just a great dish that Cindy and I made quick work of finishing. And the owner/cook was entertaining as well. Nice stop.
