Grab tortilla chips, throw on some kalua pork, add cheese, microwave to melt the cheese, add salsa, green onions and sour cream.
Kalua Pork Sandwiches
(like those we serve in the restaurant)
Toast some hamburger buns, add mayo, kalua pork, top with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. For more flavor, add Texas Barbecue Sauce.

Kilohana Trivia
Kalua Pork
Our Kalua Pork is one of the most popular items on the menu. We slow roast the pork for hours using our special blend of seasonings.
We probably serve over two and a half tons of kalua pork a year - that's a lot of cooking!
Smells great in the afternoon when we pull the kalua out of the oven. Then we take the time to shred the pork and it's juicy and moist when we serve it.

We're almost ready to launch Facebook and Twitter - you'll have to help us when we get it going, we're new at this!

DAYS OF MY YOUTH - MYRON KASHIMA
 KALUA PORK Start with one wild pig
KALUA
Kālua is a traditional Hawaiian cooking
method that utilizes an imu, or underground
oven. The word kālua literally means "to cook in an
underground oven"
Junior Prom night a bunch of us boys decided to make our own party on the beach. We started a day ahead with a wild pig that someone had caught and dressed (cleaned).
We dug a pit (imu or oven) in the sand filled with keawe koa wood, then added lava rocks. When the rocks got hot, we put some of the rocks in the meatiest crevices of the pig carcass and salted it with rock salt. Then we wrapped the pig in chicken wire and put it over the hot rocks. Then it would be covered with banana stumps, ti leaves and burlap bags. Finally, the entire pig would be covered with a large piece of canvas and that would be covered with sand or dirt. This would create an "oven". The pig stayed in there for at least 12 hours to make sure it was cooked all the way through. Then, we would reverse the process and uncover the whole mound being very careful because of the heat. The smell of the cooked pig fills the air as soon as we open it. Last step would be to shred the meat for eating. The part I loved the best was the skin that was stuck to the chicken wire - um, um good!
There are a lot of luau's in Hawaii that replicate the imu  cooking of the pig for the tourists - sometimes you get to see the whole process and you see how much effort goes in to making your meal.
We serve kalua pork every day at the restaurant - no imu in the back for obvious health department reasons. It does take us hours to cook the pig in our small oven. When it's hot outside, it's adding extra heat in the kitchen when we've got the grill going and we're making the kalua, but the results are worth it!
Aloha, Myron |

HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE MONTH
 MAKULE
mah KOO leh
Means old personThat man was so makule and he was still DRIVING! Yikes!
|
PIDGIN CORNER - LEARN SOME LOCAL "SLANG"
 GOING STAY - STAY GOING
This one is a head scratcher - so let me see if I can explain it clearly.
Going Stay - means - I'm going to stay ____.
ex: I going stay at da beach all day means I'm going to stay at the beach all day.
Stay Going - the word "stay" somehow became interchangeable with the word "am" - I stay going to work, means I am going to work. I stay going eat means I am going to eat.

PLACE OF INTEREST:
HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK - MAUI
Haleakala
is an active but not currently erupting massive shield volcano that
rises 10,023 feet above sea level. The park itself stretches from the
summit to the sea and encompasses an alpine zone, sub alpine scrublands
and dry forests.
Stretching across Maui's southern and eastern coastline, Haleakala
National Park is home to Maui's highest peak. Rising 10,023 feet above
sea level, Haleakala's graceful slopes can be seen from just about any
point on the island. Haleakala means "house of the sun" in Hawaiian, and
legend has it that the demigod Maui lassoed the sun from its journey
across the sky as he stood on the volcano's summit, slowing its descent
to make the day last even longer.
For more information, visit the Park Headquarters Visitor Center at
7,000 feet above sea level. The Haleakala Visitor Center is at 9,740
feet atop its summit. At sea level, the Kipahulu Visitor Center is past Hana
on the southeastern coast and is near the beautiful Pools
of Oheo. See why Haleakala National Park is one of Maui's most
popular visitor attractions.
