The treasures of Maui are endless but my Maui trip held a special delight…a trip down memory lane back to the life I loved on Guam. Anyone who has lived on Guam or even visited Guam knows about Shirley’s. This local restaurant chain is humming with business every single day and Saturday and Sunday bring even more traffic. This restaurant is an island institution where the food is simple, out of this world tasty and plentiful!Â
On my last day in Maui I drove to Whaler’s Village and had breakfast at the Rusty Harpoon, right next to the water. It was a gorgeous spot to view the water and enjoy a last breakfast on Maui. It was also a blast from my past. I ordered breakfast fried rice and when it arrived it was a taste of heaven. It was so similar to the Shirley’s version on Guam that my mouth was watering with intense pleasure at this unexpected treat. Shirley’s breakfast fried rice was a delight of veggies, Portuguese sausage and fried rice topped with a fried egg. The Rusty Harpoon’s version on Maui tasted delightfully the same. I have no idea if the ingredients were the same, but my taste buds said heavenly over and over again and I look forward to a return trip to Maui to have several more breakfasts at the Rusty Harpoon in Whaler’s Village!
