If you want a truly Hawaiian experience, you’ll want to replace the normal plate of seafood with a bowl of rice, hamburger, brown gravy, and fried eggs—or what’s known in Hawaii as loco moco😋
Loco Moco (loh-koo moh-koo) is Hawaii’s original homemade fast food and can be found in every restaurants in the Islands. It is a comfort food of Hawaiian islands.
This dish is popular for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and is a candidate for the Cholesterol Hall of Fame😐.
According to the story, the dish was created for teenagers who wanted something different from typical American sandwiches and less time-consuming than Asian food to eat for breakfast. The nickname of the first boy to eat this concoction was Loco (“crazy” in Portuguese and Hawaiian pidgin). Moco rhymed with loco and sounded great, so Loco Moco became the name of the dish😇
The fact is that loco moco is truly unique to Hawaii, its traditions, and the wonderful people who live there and call it home❤️
