From pineapple pork to poke, traditional Hawaiian food is pure pleasure. Some may even say the poi and pu pu platters are, too!
Juicy, tropical fruits hand-plucked from trees above you. Mouthwatering mahi mahi dinner, pulled from the sea before your eyes. Spot the nearest coconut, crack it open and enjoy the flesh and milk (if said coconut is being worn as a hula dancer’s bra, find the second closest.) Local delicacies surround you, making Hawaiian food next-level fresh and downright delicious.
