When you think of Hawaiian Cuisine, there are a lot of various dishes that come to mind. Here are the most popular ones on our menu that you should know more about and that are synonymous to Hawaiian Cuisine.

Kalua Pork with Cabbage : Do you know why Kālua pork is an important part of Hawai‘i’s culture? Kālua pork is smoked, shredded meat sometimes mixed with cabbage; it is a staple at any lūʻau. This delicacy is actually one of the oldest and most traditional dishes served on a Hawaiian plate. Our dish of Kalua pork includes smoke-flavored, slowly-roasted shredded pork, combined with fresh cabbage.

Loco Moco : Hawai‘i is home to some of the most unique and delicious dishes in the world. One of the most popular of these dishes is Loco Moco. It is a contemporary Hawaiian dish featuring a bed of rice topped with hamburger, a fried egg, and brown gravy. Loco Moco was allegedly invented as an inexpensive, filling, and convenient lunch option for kids on the go. 

Garlic Shrimp : Garlic shrimp is a staple in Hawai‘i and can often be found served in food trucks and restaurants all along the Hawaiian Islands. This delicious, fresh meal is bursting with flavor, thanks to the addition of plenty of fresh garlic that is caramelized to perfection. Most garlic shrimp is first marinated in a blend of olive oil, garlic, and lemon butter for the most flavor possible. After marination, the shrimp is then cooked to perfection, resulting in the caramelization of the garlic.

SPAM® Musubi : Musubi is a wildly popular food that is commonly enjoyed in Hawai‘i. Resembling the Japanese culinary favorite known as onigiri, musubi is made with a base of packed white rice topped with the meat or fish, wrapped around the midsection with a piece of seaweed. In Hawaii, the most popular musubi combination is this one with SPAM®, a type of canned cooked pork.

SPAM®, Eggs, & Rice : This is a classic breakfast in the Hawaiian islands, as SPAM® is a beloved treat. Paired with eggs and rice, you get that multi-cultural influence Hawaii is known for.
