Go to http://migrationology.com/2012/04/traditional-hawaiian-food-dishes/ for the best Hawaiian food... check it out now!
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.

i can't tell you how refreshing this was. it feels like 99% of youtube food videos these days feature hardcore editing with smash cuts every .000003 seconds and the person up in your face screaming every exaggerated line. like damn, i'm just curious about the food i don't need a monster truck show. this felt more like sitting around with a friend while they introduce you to something new. i was curious about poi and local hawaiian food and this video was exactly what I was looking for 🙂
If you want to experience traditional Hawaiian food in Honolulu, there are some must-try dishes. Poi is Hawaii's staple dish – a thick, starchy pudding paste that's slightly fermented and goes well with lomi salmon or other vegetables. Chicken long rice is another popular dish, made with long glass noodles cooked in chicken soup and served with chicken pieces. Laulau is a wrapped dish made with pork, chicken, or fish and cooked in luau leaves for incredible flavor. Lomi lomi salmon is a combination of tomatoes, onions, and raw salmon, while poke is the sushi of the islands, made with ahi tuna cubes marinated in soy sauce and sea salt. For dessert, try fresh Hawaiian pineapple. While Hawaiian food has adapted to many cultures, there are still unique Polynesian dishes to discover.
That's a great song. It was released in 1997 by the way. I love that song.
Should've put Li hing mui on top that pineapple lol
THANKS MARK !!!! it really helpz 🙂
good video👍💯💖😍
3 day old poi for me. And you suppose to use two fingers for eat it.
Nitpicking but only 3 dishes on that plate are traditional Hawaiian: Fish/Squid Poke, Lau Lau and of course poi. Chicken Long rice is actually a Chinese influenced dish that dates to the 19th century. Native Hawaiians didnt have rice or noodles. Also Lomi Salmon is most likely a 19th-20th century dish: There are no salmon in the waters of Hawaii (too warm), Tomato is a New World plant, didnt grow in Hawaii until Western contact, same with the onions. And my biggest gripe: Pineapples, its native to South America and was introduced here in the 19th century to be grown on the Plantations
Let me help you out here Mark. IMO, poi can only be described as bland and flavorless. It's not supposed to be sour and unfortunately not sweet or salty. It's served at room temperature and honestly, I can't call it pudding because it's got a watery-base and It's not even jello. It's a confusing dish to eat and as well to look at. LOL (wth is it?)
Hawaii was my second home. I have family on Oahu. You got the food perfectly, in this and the previous video. I think poi taste and looks like Elmer's glue. I love that type of taste, but the taste is not for everyone.
Thank you for going to "Da" (the) Islands" for "Da" food. Mahalo (thank you)
you look so sexy in this blog
What is traditional Hawaiian food? You need to clarify what time period you are talking about. For me, the Hawaiian food that I ate, while growing up in the 1940's, was poi, lau lau w/ butterfish, lomi lomi salmon, pipi kaula, limu kohu and sweet round onions. I forsake all others. Hawaiian food can also include raw beef liver, lomi raw fish, chili peppers, raw fish guts, kalua pig, sea urchins, sea weeds, chicken/pork luau, and chicken long rice. Recent addition is poke, which is less bloody than lomi raw fish. I am sure that I have miss a few others. I live in Texas and keep poi in the freezer just for reminiscing.
I heard 'Woo&Pep' guide is the best for diet.
The pork in taro leaves from Hawaii has got to be the most famous dish in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!
Trust me it is good
Would love to try it all!
OK salmon… in Hawaii? That can't be traditional!
