Easter Luau

We winded down our first day in Maui with an Easter Luau called The Feast at Lele. At this luau they served food from four polynesian areas - Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Samoa. Each course was followed by a dance from that region and a little bit of history about each place. Foodies beware - delicious details to follow...

The first course was from Hawaii and it was swordfish, asparagus and hearts of palm, and of course kalu'a pork - pork roasted in an underground imu. I could have stopped eating right then, it was so delicious.

Next up, from New Zealand, was a duck salad, roasted mushrooms and sweet potatoes, and kuku patties which were scallops, shrimp, and salmon all together with a corn relish and somewhat resembled a crab cake. Yum-my.



From Tahiti we were treated with Fafa which is steamed chicken wrapped in taro leaf with some more delicious scallops. I think the Tahitian dancers were Kyle's favorite. Maybe you can see why!


The Samoan feast included Supasui, which is grilled teriyaki steak and shrimp and avocado with lilikoi. I was so stuffed by this point that I couldn't even finish my dessert! We left very full and very sleepy, but Kyle wasn't too tired to get a picture with the "coconut girls" as he called them.
