From Asian to European and everything in between, if you crave it, you will find it here. There is a lot to choose from, and some may appear more risky ventures than others if you are used to a steady diet of traditional American fare like burgers and fried chicken. But if you come to our sandy shores, there are iconic foods of Hawaii that you must try before you leave.
Spam musubi: That slimy hunk of luncheon meat is transformed into this local favorite — sliced, grilled sometimes seasoned with shoyu and sugar , slapped together with a rectangular scoop of sticky rice, and wrapped in nori seaweed.
Spam was used because it was an inexpensive source of protein as people moved away from traditional hunting and fishing methods. Raw cubed fish, usually yellowfin tuna ahi is mixed into a savory salad, combined with sea salt, soy sauce, inamona roasted crushed kukui nut sesame oil, limu or ogo seaweed, sweet Maui onion, and chili pepper. Poke it not limited to just ahi. Ahi poke cubes with sweet onion, green onion in a light sauce garnished with red caviar, seaweed and shaved green onion.
Loco Moco: You can eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Other variations include all kinds of other meats, such as shrimp, fish, bacon, Spam, teriyaki chicken and more. But there is always gravy. A classic Hawaiian loco moco. Photo courtesy of Rachel Breit.
Saimin is an inexpensive soup with noodles, similar to Japanese ramen. This comfort food is dressed up with kamaboko fish cake , green onions, eggs and sometimes char siu pork. Eat it with chopsticks and then pick up your bowl to slurp up the delicious broth. Special Projects Highline.
