9 Polynesian Foods to Try at the Polynesian Cultural Center
Read the full post:
When I was in Hawaii, on the same day as learning how to cook a pig in an imu, kind of a cross between and Hawaiian and Samoan version, I also had a chance to walk around the Polynesian Cultural Center and eat some of the main snacks they offered in what they call the Taste of Polynesia. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a center that aims to preserve the cultures of the main islands of Polynesia. The center is set up in villages, where there are traditional homes, and a series of performances from the country represented. To make things more well rounded, the Taste of Polynesia is basically a series of small snack bars that open and each serve a different set of Polynesian food snacks.
We started in the village of Samoa with sausage and gravy over rice, a dish I never would have thought is so popular in Samoa. But due to the British influence I believe, it’s quite a popular dish. The sausage was simmered in gravy, and paired with rice. The sausage was actually quite good, a little plain, but very good. Also in the Samoa village, we tried a panipopo, basically a bun that was slightly sweetened, and covered in a thick coconut cream sauce. I’m not a big desserts eater, but this was alright. The bun was nice and fluffy like a roll, and then the sauce was thick and creamy. Lastly in the village of Samoa at the Polynesian Cultural Center we tried the half-Moon pineapple pie, basically a pastry filled with pineapple insides.
Moving on, we continued our Polynesian food tour in Tonga with a dessert snack called ‘Otai. ‘Otai was more of a beverage with fruit. This one was too sweet for me, but it was good if you enjoy sweets and need something cool on a hot day walking around. Next up from native Hawaii, they served a dish called koelepalau, purple sweet potato coconut pudding. This one was probably my wife’s favorite. It tasted like sweet potatoes, mashed, and mixed with rich coconut cream. It wasn’t too rich or sweet, but had a nice fragrance, and it was quite good. Although this is a Hawaiian dessert, it’s not too easy to find in Hawaii.
Of all the desserts we ate at the Polynesian Cultural Center, my favorite was the po’e, from Tahiti, a banana cake topped with coconut cream. The bananas were a little overripe (on purpose), almost to the point where they were slightly candied and just before that fermentation taste. Then they were covered in coconut cream that wasn’t sweetened at all. They informed us that there was not sugar in the recipe, just really sweet bananas and coconut milk. It was pretty good, and naturally sweet, and a good contrast of flavors.
Over in Fiji I was ready to eat the Fijian chicken curry. I didn’t know Fiji had such a big Indian influence, and so I was happy to finally see a dish that had some good flavor to it. The spices in the curry were mild, yet well balanced, and the Fijian curry was my favorite dish of the tour. After the curry, I tried a meat pie from Aotearoa (New Zealand). I don’t have too much experience in the meat pie department, but this one was pretty good, filled with meat and cheese. Finally, the last thing I ate at the Polynesian Cultural Center was an egg, bacon & cheese quiche, also from Aotearoa (New Zealand).

NOTE: I was invited to come to the Polynesian Cultural Center when I was in Hawaii, so I didn’t pay for the food or the entrance ticket. But I’m not affiliated with the center, and all thoughts and opinions in this video are my own.

Polynesian Cultural Center Luau: How to Cook a Pig in an Imu
►More about how to cook a pig in an imu:
When I was in Hawaii, my wife and I were invited to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center to attend the center and to learn about how to cook a pig in an imu - a traditional style of underground oven cooking used in many parts of Polynesia. The Polynesian Cultural Center is an cultural park located on the north shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, that shows and preserves the cultures of the major island of Polynesia. They represent Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, and New Zealand.
For each of the island nations, they’ve set up a traditional style village and displays about lifestyle, tradition, and food, of each island. When you enter the center, you can walk around to the different villages, and then go to see a series of different shows and cultural performances at each of the island villages. But along with touring the center and learning more about the islands of Polynesia, another draw to the Polynesian Cultural Center is the luau, which is a big Hawaiian feast. What I was most interested in learning about was the imu, a traditional Hawaiians style underground hot rock oven used to cook. In Hawaii it’s called an imu, but they have very similar forms of cooking throughout Polynesia that have a different name, but almost the same style of cooking.
In order to cook using a Hawaiian imu, they first started with a pile of river rocks. The rocks were sitting on a bed of hard ironwood. The wood was burned, and the rocks sitting on top, were heated in the hot flaming wood for about 2 - 3 hours. During this time, we walked around the Polynesian Cultural Center and just enjoyed the beautiful nature and manicured gardens. After the rocks for the imu were heated, they removed all the burning wood - the wood was used only to heat the rocks - and spread out the rocks. David, who was teaching me about how to set up an imu, explained that the one we were using was sort of a Samoan style, because it was mostly above ground, as opposed to being dug into the ground too deep.
After the hot rocks were spread out, they then added a layer of banana stalk to the top of the hot rocks, then on went an entire pig - it was a small pig, but a tasty pig. I could immediately hear the hiss of the meat sizzling on the hot rocks. After the pig, then on went about 20 layers of banana leaves, which were stacked on top of the pig in an effort to keep all the steam and smoke in and cook the pig. An imu is a slow method of cooking, and so after the imu was prepared, it took about 5 hours to cook, and during that time again, we walked around the center and enjoyed the cultural displays and performances. In the late afternoon, when it was time for the official Polynesian Cultural Center luau, we had access to the stage and were there to see them take the pig out of the imu. The pig cooked in an underground Hawaiian oven, after being cooked, is called kalua pig and is one of the most famous Hawaiian food.
The rest of the food at the Polynesian Cultural Center was alright, but nothing compared to the pig cooked in the imu. I was lucky enough to get the pig cheek, which was incredibly flavorful, juicy and fatty. The other parts of the meat were fall apart tender and had a wonderful smoky flavor.
*During the making of this video, I received the food and entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center for free, but I did not get paid to make this video or write this blog posts. The video and all thoughts are my own.

Polynesian Cultural Center FULL TOUR | Oahu, Hawaii
Every village. Almost every activity. Plus the luau, movie, and the Ha: Breath of Life night show. We did everything at the Polynesian Cultural Center and shared our full experience with you so you can decide if it's worth the price. (Spoiler: it is.)
We spent our first day in the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) and ended up going back a second day because there is far too much to do in one day. Honestly, we think this is one of the best things to do in Oahu. We visited all six villages (representing the islands of Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Aotearoa - New Zealand). We also ate at the luau, watched the Imax movie and the night show, and learned how to play the ukulele for free. It's all included with admission and we wanted to do it all.
This is the first video in a 5-day trip to Hawaii for our baby-moon. Watch all our Hawaiian adventures in this playlist:
Ticket info:
Ticket prices have increased substantially since we uploaded this video. If this is out of your price range now, here are some other great activities to do on Oahu:
First off, we were not sponsored for this video. We didn't even get a discount. We paid the full $120+ each for the Ali'i luau package (that was the price in 2018 when we went - it's currently $184 but gives you entry for three days instead of two). It was a lot of money and it took a lot of convincing for us to spend that much money. We wanted to make this video to show you everything that the PCC has to offer so you can decide if it's worth the money. For us, it was worth it without a doubt.
The most basic package (updated December 2022) is about $70. That doesn't include the luau and show or any food (you can eat at the marketplace in the center).
There are lots of ticket options, all of which you can read about on their website:
Timestamps:

17:27 - Gift shop and Imax movie review (Hawaiian Journey)
18:27 - Ha theater preview (the show is absolutely incredible!)

A few things you'll find in each village:
Samoa: Making fire from two sticks, weaving, and fire knife twirling
Hawaii: Hula dance practice and traditional Hawaiian games (konane and 'ulu maika)
Tahiti: Spear throwing and pole fishing, and how to make Tahitian coconut bread
Fiji: Using the derua (bamboo percussion instrument), getting temporary Fijian tattoos, making coconut oil, and chief's house
Aotearoa (New Zealand): The Haka (warrior dance), Titi torea (stick toss game), and Poi balls Tonga: Ma'ulu'ulu (Tongan seated dance) and Ta nafa (drum show - this is hysterical in real life)
