Question

Has anyone tried "loco moco", a Hawaiian dish?

Answer 1

Yes I have, my family went to Hawaii for Christmas this year. It is normally eating for breakfast by locals. Rice, beef patties, gravy, and fried eggs, nothing like it!

Answer 2

Loco Moco is a meal consisting of a large heaps of white rice topped with a hamburger patty and a Sunnyside-up egg, and then smothered in gravy. This dish is popular for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  As you eat, break the egg - then blend the burger, egg, rice, and gravy on your fork for each bite for a real taste of this local island dish. I had this dish a long time ago its a good filling meal but as you can see its ingredents its high in cholesterol. Had it once I'll never eat it again, at least I tried it. Basically its not a Hawaiian dish more like something that was made up in Hawaii by a locals & got popular by locals, like the hamburger patty is really American food smothered with gravy its own gravy or what ever gravy you choose the sunny side up egg or over easy & the rice is just a popular basic staple that many locals eat with their food.

Answer 3

I learned about it in a geography of american food class I took.  It sounds like something I would like!

Answer 4

The other answerer described loco moco very well. I would add that it is commonly eaten for any meal, not just breakfast. If you make it at home, it is also common to not use a fried egg, but just break a raw egg onto the steaming-hot other components and let it "cook" a little. For obvious health code reasons, restaurants only use fried, not raw, eggs.

Personally, I've never liked this dish!
