Everyone, please enjoy a virtual birthday Luau plate!

I just realized that The Tasty Island just made 1 year on June 8th. With that, in true Hawaiian fashion, we’re throwing a “baby” luau! A tradition that most families in Hawaii do on their child’s first birthday.

On that Luau plate above, from top left to bottom right is Squid Luau, Lomi Salmon, Poi, Big Island Smoked Pork, Kalua Pig, a small portion of a a Laulau, Chicken Long Rice, Okinawan Sweet Potato, Taro and a slice of Pineapple. All that’s missing is the Opihi, Raw Crab, Pipikaula Haupia and Kulolo.

I just want to send out a BIG, BIG MAHALO to everyone who’s visited, and especially those who have left so many kind comments. Lots of you have blogs of your own that I’m due to visit and reciprocate the gesture. It’s really hard to make time even to maintain this blog, but I’ll continue to share the aloha of great food, hopefully for many years to come.

Happy Birthday Tasty Island!
