Hawaiian Hangover Cure!

After a night of drinking and dehydration I always turn to a good kalua pig plate to get me over that "hang."  It's hard to find a kalua pig plate thats made just the way you want it.  To some all is the same, just like their drinking water.  But, to me, there's a huge difference!!

I particularly am not a fan of the wet and squishy.  I favor the smokey dry but still a little juicy.  Just like it came out of an imu!  Perfection!  

So the search of a good one came about, especially this day.  I needed it!  The name Laverne's popped in my head.  I recalled someone had mentioned their food was supposed to be "ono."  So I looked them up with my trusty Google!!  You thought I was going to say Yelp, huh!?!  I saw that they had a Facebook page (ingenious) and their menus were posted! 

I wanted to go with a simple Kalua Pig Mini going for $5.50, but heck since the pricing was so awesome and I saw there were combo plates, I decided to order the #1 - Kalua pig, chicken with long rice, squid luau, which came with a Haupia (coconut pudding/ custard) and lomi salmon.  All for less than $9!

All that there is left to say about this is, "It was ONO!!"

Check them out if you're in our neighborhood.  Laverne's in central Waipahu. 
Dang, I'll do you one better.  Here's their website:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lavernes-Catering-Take-out/337741763805
