Hawaiian cuisine is a unique blend of Polynesian traditions and Asian and American influences. Highlights include:
- Poke – marinated raw fish, usually tuna, served fresh
- Kalua pig – slow-cooked pork prepared in a traditional underground oven (imu)
- Loco moco – rice topped with a hamburger patty, fried egg, and gravy
- Tropical fruits – pineapple, mango, papaya, and guava
To drink, try fresh fruit juices, locally grown coffee from Kona, and classic tropical cocktails.
