Kilohana Trivia

The traditional plate lunch comes with two scoops of rice and an entree.


At Kilohana Grill, we use approximately over 7 tons of rice a year!
RECIPE OF THE MONTH:
COCONUT BUNNY CAKE



Bunny Cakes

Cut an 8-inch cake layer in half. Sandwich the layers with frosting and then position the cake on its flat edge to frost the body.

  • Cut a notch into the cake behind the "head" to help define the body.
  • Decorate with shredded coconut for the fur.
  • Use toasted coconut for a brown bunny.
  • To make ears, flatten a large marshmallow and use scissors to cut it in half diagonally.
  • Cut another marshmallow in half and press the rounds into the frosting to create cheeks.
  • Miniature marshmallows make cute little bunny teeth. Jelly beans make great eyes and noses.

HULA  EASTER EGGS.... PIGS AND CHICKENS?

Every year, we looked forward to an Easter celebration that was put on by the union for the Plantation families.  Of course there was the traditional Easter egg hunt for all the little kids.  The older kids would chase chickens and greased pigs.    If you caught one, you would win a prize!  As hard as I tried, I NEVER caught one!


Aloha, Myron  
HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE MONTH

LUNA  (LOO NAH)

Translation:  Supervisor
On the plantation, the luna's often had responsibility for entire work crews.  As you can imagine, they men in powerful positions.

PIDGIN CORNER - LEARN SOME LOCAL "SLANG"

Shaka   (Shaa kah)

Definition: Cool, right on, hang loose

Hawaiian locals use the shaka to convey what locals in Hawai'i call the "Aloha Spirit," a gesture of friendship. Depending on context it can also be used to communicate notions such as "all right," "cool,".

HULA
The annual presentation of the Merrie Monarch Festival has led to a renaissance of the Hawaiian culture that is being passed on from generation to generation. The week-long festival includes art exhibits, craft fairs, demonstrations, performances, a parade that emphasizes the cultures of Hawaii, and a three-day hula competition that has received worldwide recognition for its historic and cultural significance.

This is the "super bowl" of hula!  The event is already sold out and you may be able to view it online.  Check youtube during the event.
