Hawaii Creole English: Pidgin
• Pidgin is a beautiful, expressive language. It was
originally created so that the immigrants, the
Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and Filipinos as
well as the Hawaiians and the Americans could
do business.

Literature
• Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers is a Japanese
American-Hawaiian-Adult Fiction novel by LoisAnn Yamanaka. Its tonality is distinctive to that of
a local Hawaiian culture in that all the main
characters speak in Hawaiian Pidgin. Although it
is an adult fiction novel, the plot follows a young
Japanese girl throughout her years in middle
school. The major themes of the novel include
comparing a mother-daughter relationship with a
father-daughter one, finding one's identity, and
the politics of Japanese Hawaiian culture in a
white America.

Hawaii Food
• Poke: usually made with ahi (the Hawaiian
word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw
fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce,
sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.
Loco Moco
• Breakfast is more commonly Portuguese
sausage, eggs, and rice. McDonalds
restaurants in
Hawaii have
adopted it on
the menu.
Plate Lunch
• usually consists of meat or fish with two
scoops of rice and macaroni salad
LauLau
• LauLau is an authentic Hawaiian entree. It is
made with exotic and delicious ingredients
starting with either a pork (pork shoulder usually,
not pork loin), chicken or vegetable filling,
sometimes with a little bit of rich and flavorful
salted butterfish. Each lau lau filling is then
individually wrapped in 6 to 7 taro leaves, sort of
like Hawaiian spinach leaves. Once bundled in its
many layers, the lau lau is firmly wrapped and
tied inside 2 ti-leaves to form a pouch that seals
the moisture and unique flavors of the taro leaves,
fillings, and seasonings.
Typical Hawaiian Food
Poi
Poi is the fermented paste of the taro root. It is naturally
gluten free and contains plant-based microorganisms that
have been proven by research to be safe and highly
beneficial. It is also considered to be one of the most
digestible foods on earth and has been recently shown in
research to kill cancer cells in the colon.
Luau
• A traditional Hawaiian feast with authentic
Hawaiian food served buffet style with
Hawaiian music, hula dancers, and other
entertainment to enjoy.
Ukulele
• Ukuleles are commonly associated with music from Hawaii where the
name roughly translates as "jumping flea", perhaps due to the action of
one's fingers playing the ukulele resembling a "jumping flea". According to
Queen Lili'uokalani, the last Hawaiian monarch, the name means “the gift
that came here”, from the Hawaiian words uku (gift or reward) and lele (to
come). Developed in the 1880s, the ukulele is based on two small guitarlike instruments of Portuguese origin, the cavaquinho and the rajao ,
introduced to the Hawaiian Islands by Portuguese immigrants
• One of the most important factors in establishing the ukulele in Hawaiian
music and culture was the ardent support and promotion of the instrument
by King David Kalakaua. A patron of the arts, he incorporated it into
performances at royal gatherings.

Clothes
• Aloha shirts: Traditional men's aloha shirts manufactured
for local Hawaiian residents are usually adorned with
traditional Hawaiian quilt designs, tapa designs, and simple
floral patterns in more muted colors.
• Semi-formal functions such as weddings, birthday parties,
and dinners are often designated as "Aloha Attire",
meaning that men wear Aloha shirts and women wear
muumuu or other tropical prints. Because Hawaii tends to
be more casual, it is rarely appropriate to attend such
functions in full evening wear like on the mainland; instead,
Aloha Attire is seen as the happy medium between
excessive formality and casual wear.
