Create a Dish examples

Remember to connect your dish with your historical fact!

Ka Wai ʻAwaʻawa

A refreshing blend of Tahitian limes, Kaʻū oranges and bumpy-skinned Hāna lemons served over crushed ice with a splash of vanilla steeped heavy cream.

Wai ʻawaʻawa means bitterwaters. Our tangy drink is a tribute to Kamehameha’s battlecry uttered before doing battle with the Maui warriors at ʻĪao, “ I mua e nā pōkiʻi a inu i ka wai ʻawaʻawa. ʻAʻohe hope e hoʻi ai. – Go forward & drink the bitter waters. There is no turning back. $2.50

Dressed for the Coronation Ball

Lusciously sweet Kula strawberries dressed in tuxedos of dark and white chocolate. Accompanied by a lovely Swiss champagne truffle.

Built by Kalākaua in 1882, the palace stood as a constant reminder to Hawaiians that we are somebody and that we stand on par with other nations of the world. If ‘Iolani Palace was a dessert this is what it would taste like. $ 4.50
