Where can I find islander food?

Submitted by InkdJerm t3_10q6ohe in springfieldMO

Where can I find “islander” food here in town? (Hawaiian, Samoan, Polynesian). I met a girl who likes that kind of food and misses home because of it. I’m trying to take her out somewhere where she can get that kind of food.

There is a Jamaican patty truck somewhere around here. Jamaica is an island

There used to be a food truck but I haven't seen it in a while. But I'd like to know too because I love manapuas.

If you're up for a drive to Branson, Keleke Hawaiian BBQ food truck has great reviews- I've heard it's very good!

Why not make something for her?

You can make some simple recipes like Shoyu Chicken or Huli Huli chicken in the oven (unless you have a rotisserie attachment lol). They're pretty simple but really tasty.

You could also do some Spam Musubi or Loco Moco which are simpler recipes. Some other traditional recipes are a little more complicated like Kalua Pork, Lau Lau, and Poke (moreso ingredients sourcing than actually making it).

If she's from Hawai'i you can have snacks sent and even pineapples sent as a gift.

Casa Kuisina in the lot at Glenstone and Cinderella is Filipino food. Haven’t had it but they’re good looks good.
