Even after eating lots of different cuisines, Hawaiian food still ranks as a favorite. Whenever I’m in Hawaii, I’m always happy to dine on luau style foods from the islands.
Here’s a quick rundown of the traditional dishes I eat during this video.
The first thing is called poi. Poi is Hawaii’s staple dish. It’s a thick starchy pudding paste like substance that’s slightly fermented so it’s a little sour. The paste goes great with lomi salmon or other vegetables.
Chicken long rice, though Chinese in origin, has become one of the popular Hawaiian foods. It’s basically just long glass noodles cooked in chicken soup and served with pieces of chicken in it.
Laulau is the next dish on the list. The popular dish can either be made with pork, chicken or sometimes fish and it’s wrapped in luau leaves. The leaves and meat cook together into a spectacular flavor.
Lomi lomi salmon is the combination of tomatoes, onions, and raw salmon. The luau dish is common and is really good when eaten alongside a bowl of poi.
Poke is the sushi of the islands. Though it can be made from a variety of fish, the most common is cubes of ahi tuna marinated in soy sauce and sea salt. The tender cubes of fresh fish are wonderful!
Fruit, like Hawaiian pineapple is always great for dessert!
Though traditional Hawaiian food has adapted to the many cultures in Hawaii (now including things like SPAM musubi and chicken katsu), there are still so many uniquely Hawaiian dishes origination from Polynesia.

Hawaiian Food at People’s Cafe in Honolulu (Guest Appearance with Grandma)
If you are in Honolulu and want to eat Hawaiian food at People’s Cafe, get more details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/04/peoples-cafe-hawaiian-food-honolulu-hawaii/
Hawaiian food is not all that well-known outside of Hawaii, despite being very delicious. But when I go back to Honolulu, along with the delights of Chinese food and other Asian foods, I’ve always got to have a few good meals of traditional Hawaiian food. There are a few different restaurants serving delicious Hawaiian meals in Honolulu, and a recommendation I got from some of my relatives, is a long-standing restaurant known as People’s Cafe.
People’s Cafe has been around for very long time. Actually I think it started about 80 years ago, though it has changed owners at least once. But the good news is the food has remained delicious and they have maintained a very good quality of home style comfort food. Most of the menu is actually Filipino food – and while I would have really liked to eat a huge Filipino meal, I decided to eat Hawaiian food this time. The next time I go back to People’s Cafe, I’m going to have to eat Filipino food.
There are a couple of different Hawaiian food combination plates to order – most of them with most of the same dishes, with just a few differences – so you can pick and choose whichever one looks the best to you. I went with the classic Hawaiian plate, a platter that came with laulau, kalua pig, squid luau, lomi salmon, rice and a slice of haupia. My wife got the laulau plate and chose a few other different dishes from what I got, so that we could all share together. She got the pipikaula (short ribs), and the chicken long rice. So anyway one of the best things about People’s Cafe is that they serve huge portion sizes. I’m telling you, after a meal here you should be well satisfied and ready for a nap.
The food arrived quickly, and unfortunately they had no poi the day I went, so I had to settle for brown rice. The kalua pig was excellent, very tender and had an incredible smoky flavor to it. But the real winner on the entire Hawaiian food plate was the laulau. This is typically one of my favorite Hawaiian dishes, and I have to say that at People’s Cafe, they really hit the spot with their version. Laulau is a dish that includes pieces of pork and fish wrapped in taro leaves, then steam smoked. The meat becomes extremely smoky and tender, and the leaves are just fall apart soft.
Overall I would highly recommend the Hawaiian plate at People’s Cafe for a delicious meal when you are in Honolulu, Hawaii.

How An Ancient Hawaiian Food Still Makes It To The Plate — Dining on a Dime
In a classic Hawaiian meal, poi is the main starch on the plate. It plays the same role in a dish that rice often would: It’s filling, and it complements the other flavors in the meal. In this episode of Dining on a Dime, host Lucas Peterson stops by the Waiahole Poi Factory for a truly Hawaiian meal (and a music lesson on the nose flute).

Authentic Traditional HAWAIIAN Food!
The Ultimate HAWAII FOOD TOUR in Honolulu – Loco Moco, Poke, Hawaiian Food and Shave Ice!
What To Do In Oahu Hawaii
Things To Do In Oahu Hawaii
Oahu, Hawaii’s 3rd largest island, could easily be considered the heart beat of Hawaii. With lush looping mountain trails and paths, to monster waves breaking on the gorgeous north shore golden beaches, to beaches where the turtles are swimming right along with you, down to wonderful local country stores and shops and discovering the uniqueness of Hawaiian culture, where do you begin?
With limited time and a boat load of things to see and do, here’s a list of attractions and casual things to do in Oahu, that I hope will help you determine what you’d like to put in your plans!
Snorkeling in the beautiful Hanauma Bay Park
The Hanauma Bay Nature Park is actually a State Underwater Park and is a local paradise for even the novice of snorkelers! The area around the bay is the result of the ocean’s breach and thrust into two volcano craters. In addition to the awesome swimming and snorkeling areas, there are also hiking trails with beautiful vistas and plenty of hiking and picnicking sites.
Take an Eco Adventure Tour and swim with marine life
This is a great way to discover whales, dolphins and sea turtles with local nature-tour operators who are filled with knowledge and carry a deep rooted respect for marine animals in their natural habitat. Cruise out to sea in a relaxed atmosphere and view the gorgeous mountainous shorelines and pristine beaches. This journey is sure to make memories of a lifetime! Don’t forget your camera!
A must do is a Hawaii Luau!
A Hawaiian Luau, based on traditional Hawaiian feasts, has become a rite of passage for all tourists and visitors! You can expect a exciting show, a huge delicious buffet and a true authentic Hawaiian ritual experience!
Feeling the Hawaiian mojo? Try your hand at surfing!
What was once the sport of ancient Hawaiian royalty, you can find lessons right on Waikiki Beach. The surf is not aggressive and is great for beginners and kids as young as eight can try! If that’s too much adventure for you and you’re there in the winter, try heading on up to the north shore and watch some of the pros compete on the giant surf!
Climb Diamond Head Volcano
One of the most famous volcanic craters in the world, Diamond Head is located on the southeast coast of Waikiki. It is an easy to moderate hike that is well worth the effort when you see the spectacular view of the entire west side of the island from Waikiki to Koki Head. Pack a lunch and have a nice picinic at the top. It’s a wonderful experience.
Visit the Hawaii Polynesian Cultural Center
It’s your opportunity to visit seven Polynesian Islands in just one afternoon! Your visit will give you a chance to learn and interact with the people of Hawaii, Samoa, Maori New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, the Marquesas and Tonga. You can also see the world-famous and largest night show, Horizons: Where the Sea Meets the Sky.
And of course Waikiki Beach!
The place where you can sun, surf, swim and sail by day and dine, dance and party by night! Waikiki is truly legendary and fun and one of the best things that you can do in Oahu. Beyond the beautiful sand and surf, you can stroll along the flagstone walkway where you’ll see fountains, rock pools, statues and surfboard signs that teach you a bit about its history! Waikiki is one of the world’s most famous and most filmed beachs. It actually consists of nine individually named beaches which stretch along two miles of shoreline. It is filled with wonderful Aloha and it is also one of the most crowded!
Although this is just a very small portion of things to do in Oahu, I hope that this has helped you to discover a little bit about what this truly magnificent island has to offer!
Aloha
