Taro Root
Known as the potato of the tropics, taro is a plant that has played a huge roll in Hawaii’s history and culture. The plant is celebrated for sustaining Hawaii’s earliest settlers with its starchy root, and locals now use it in everything from burgers to poi.
-
Poi
One of Hawaii’s staple foods, poi is made from cooking and mashing taro root. Despite the purple mash appearance, poi is incredibly flavourful and beloved by locals.
-
Kalua pig
Whole pigs are roasted in a fire pit underground, lined with rocks and banana leaves. After being covered, the pig is cooked for an entire day. Kalua pig is a favourite with locals and usually made for big celebrations, so make sure you give it a try if you attend a luau (traditional Hawaiian party).

Loco moco
First invented in the town of Hilo on Hawaii Island, Loco moco is now a popular dish across the archipelago. A delicious comfort food, Loco moco consists of rice, a burger patty and a fried egg, all covered in a gravy.

Poke
Another Hawaiian favourite is poke, a food made from ahi (raw tuna) that’s marinated in shoya, sesame oil, salt and green onions.

Lau Lau
Considered a soul food by many Hawaiians, lau lau is a tasty dish of leaf-wrapped fish and pork. The fish and meat is wrapped in ti leaves and taro leaves, secured with tied leaf stems, then steamed for hours. The result is a parcel of deliciously tender and juicy meat. Note that the cooked taro leaves are not to be eaten, as they are solely there to seal in the moisture and flavour.
