Plate Lunch (Hawaiian: pa mea 'ai) is a syncretic menu item that is part of local cuisine of Hawaii. The stanard plate lunch consists of two scoops of white rice, a scoop of macaroni salad (taken by an ice cream scooper), and a meat entree. Many plate lunch outlets also sell "mini-plates" which come with the same food items in smaller portions. Various meat choices are typically available, and they include a wide range of Asian and American dishes. Some dishes come from as far as Puerto Rico or Portugal.
