My Tucson: Oh poi A survey of the Hawaiian cuisine
Hey, as WEA loop stay in Tucson? Pidgin English, spoken in Hawaii
“Are there restaurants in Tucson serve Hawaiian food?” English translation by default
Someone asked me a “local” was born and grew up in the Big Island of Hawaii, this issue a few weeks ago.
Kon Tiki in 4625 E. Broadway, opened in 1963, is the oldest Hawaiian style restaurant in Tucson. Most people know giant tiki gods on the front.
Kon Tiki is used most often pseudo-Hawaiian tourists want to eat with names such as “Monkeys On A Stick” (Teriyaki sirloin), “Birds On A Wire” (chicken), “Tiki Burgers” and exotic drinks bar
The interior space is quite Polynesia - palm trees, Reet rooflike areas, many images of gods and Hawaiian tiki generous use of capacity (Hawaiian bark of the paper towel mulberry).
A fun things on Kon Tiki is the label bath: Wahine for women and men Warrior (should Kane - yes pronounced Kah in Hawaiian).
A restaurant is authentic Hawaiian Luau Lani’s S. 2532 Harrison on Road - a pleasant place, and only a little over a year.
The owners are Zane and leilani Dowling, the latter being, like me, is the origin of the Big Island. She likes to cook and serve dishes Hawaiian lunch - Teri chicken, Kalua pork, Korean chicken, fish mahi mahi, with the usual two balls of rice and potato salad. It is exactly like the car plate lunch at home.
I love “Luau flat with the Kalua pork, laulau, lomilomi salmon, fish and chicken long rice poke. For those of you not familiar with Hawaiian food, you may wish try something else. But we love the people of the plateau Luau, especially with POI (taro root) when it is available.
Decorations in Lani’s Luau is a colorful Hawaiian print curtains available, postcards and souvenirs of Hawaii. The music is true Hawaiian slack-key.
But the authenticity of life means to speak for themselves, what does Lani haupia (pudding coconut), Spam musubi (a piece of roast spam wrapped in rice and seaweed), shaving and ice (as a soft snow cone).
A third restaurant opened March 22 - North Shore Hawaiian Cuisine, E. 6255 Golf Links Road. Jeff Sternitzky US-born and his wife, Jessica Brown, style dish Deli lunch (LAU Lau, Mahi, stew beef, chicken Teri, kalbi) the weekend.
This sports bar opened in July and it is most often used cheeseburgers / fries / tacos / chicken wings during the week. I try to Mahi dish of grilled fish and a few passengers and two were recently some ono (delicious in pidgin English).
You can find Hawaiian food in Tucson at G & L Import-Export, 4828 E. 22 St., and the 17th Street Farmers Market, 840 E. 17th St.
I found a few local favorites such as “seed split” and “mild, mui hanged” in G & L, and Hawaiian salt, guava jelly and taro chips, on the 17th Street Market.
But the best Hawaiian record with many foodstuffs, Sun Orientalis Cher market, p. 2205 Cray Croft Road. It has chicken and pork Lau lau, Portuguese sausages, manapua, Aloha Shoyu, Hawaiian Sun fruit drinks and even chocolate macadamia nuts.
