Maui Masala , THE NEW Fine Indian Cuisine in Kihei

10-13-09
Georg Thoma

Neal Patel , an old time friend , has ask me 10 Years ago , what I think of him opening a Restaurant ? At that time , I was an Executive Chef at Royal Lahaina Hotel . Skeptically I have told him ,"Opening a Restaurant is a hard work and lots of risk . But what he had never told me , that he loves to open a Little Indian Restaurant. Indian Food is not at all on this little island on Maui . I remember cooking lots of Chicken Curry for Arab Clients at the Grand Wailea or Hilton in Munich was a delight full taste of many spices and ingredients.

Last week , I was visiting Neal at his first Restaurant , after our discussion 10 years ago and , I could not believe how well prepared all his food has been.

In his Flyer he mentioned : Maui Masala is s vision of two Indian families who have lived on Maui for more than a decade . They were attracted to Maui's lush tropical climate. it remided them of India , they loved the wonderful community and fmiliare fragrnace of plumeria and jasmine. However , one thing was missing from this island paradise " the Masala" , the savory and delectable tastes of Indian cuisine , Why not bring the flavors they love to the place they love for both locals and visitors to enjoy ?

And so , " Maui Masala " was born

Enjoy a little bit of spice in our island paradise !

Did you know there is a Big difference between ,,,, Octoberfest in Germany VS Octoberfest In Bavaria ?

Well to tell you the truth , if you tell a Bavarian the Vise Versa, he might give you a big Burb and say ,,,,,, My State has been Managed by King Ludwig and it is still today a free State attached to Germany . Thanks to Franz Josph Straus,,,, I can Drive a nice BMW ,,,, and Kick all the Nations Fusball ,,,, with FC. Bayers. Octoberfest is not German ,, its simply , Bavarian ! It is like a "Big County Fest " but Bavarian Style with Haxen, Bratwurst and Brezeln ,,, with Good Beer .

Dates and General FAQ

Essential and useful information about the Oktoberfest:

When will Oktoberfest 2009 take place?

On Saturday, September 19th, the Schottenhamel tent is the place to be, if you want to catch the official opening ceremonies. At noontime, 12pm, the lord mayor of Munich will have the honor of tapping the first keg of Oktoberfest beer. Once the barrel has been tapped, all visitors will then be allowed to quench their thirst. It pays to arrive early in order to experience the festivities up close and personal and it's quite common for visitors to come around 9am to secure good seats. The festival will last until October 4th, 2009.

September?

The historical background: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September.



By moving the festivities up, it allowed for better weather conditions. Because the September nights were warmer, the visitors were able to enjoy the gardens outside the tents and the stroll over “die Wiesen” or the fields much longer without feeling chilly. Historically, the last Oktoberfest weekend was in October and this tradition continues into present times.

How much will a liter of beer (the „Maß” Oktoberfest Beer) cost this year?

The beer price will range between 7.80 and 8.30 Euros per liter - varying in every beer tent. (Previous year: 7.30 to 7.90 Euros)

Are children allowed to visit the beer tents?

It depends on the age: Children under the age of six must leave the tents at 8pm even if they are in the company of their parents. A crowded tent wouldn’t be much fun for either the childern or the parents. For more information, please click on Wiesn tips for families.

What is „Die Wiesn“?

The locals in Munich fondly refer to Oktoberfest as „die Wiesn“ because of its location, Theresienwiese, which was named after Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. To find out more about her, click on Wiesn history.

Is there a program of events to observe during this folk’s festival?

The main highlight of the Wiesn events and an important must-see is the Oktoberfest Costume and Riflemen’s Parade. The parade happens every year on the first Wiesn Sunday.



Other important events are the Parade of Oktoberfest Landlords and Breweries, the Official Tapping of the Keg, the Oktoberfest Mass , „Böllerschießen“ (handheld canon salute) in front of the Bavaria statue and – this year- an agricultural festival.
