Plate Lunch (
Hawaiian: pa mea 'ai) is a
syncretic menu item that is part of local
cuisine of Hawaii. While sometimes available in "mini" form, the standard plate lunch consists of two scoops of
white rice and a scoop of
macaroni salad taken by an ice cream scooper, and a meat entree. Various meat choices are typically available, and they include a wide range of Asian and American dishes, and maybe a dish coming as far as Puerto Rico or Portugal.
