[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”382018″]The last time I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center was in 2009, so when an opportunity arose to drive up to Laie and tour the center once more, I readily agreed. This time, our team was invited to check out the new Hukilau Marketplace by Sharlene, a friend at PCC. Eriko, Maira, and I were able to attend this time, and\u2014as per Sharlene’s instructions\u2014we came ready to eat! PCC has grown significantly since my last visit, and in ways I never really expected.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”146003″]Food Options around PCC<\/b>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93615″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”263342″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”196193″]The Hukilau Marketplace exists as a mini-mall for anyone who’s on the North Shore and just wants to hang out in Laie for an afternoon (before heading to an evening luau, presumably). And they’ve got food.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”226590″]<\/p>\n

1. Pounders Restaurant<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”93616″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”980653″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”754608″]The biggest feature in this section would be Pounders Restaurant, which serves Hawaiian-fusion dishes made entirely with local ingredients. Of note is their neapolitan pizza\u2014with toppings such as Kahuku shrimp, poke, and mango\u2014baked in a kiawe wood fired oven. Kids can even order a fully-customizable personal pizza! Pounders is only a single option when it comes to food, though.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is also home to Aunty Emily’s Polynesian Bakery, which serves a variety of baked goods including Haupia bars, guava muffins, and their famous taro rolls. If Aunty’s doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, rest assured that you’ve got options.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”210691″]<\/p>\n

2. Delice Crepes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93617″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”444368″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”133720″]Other sweets can be found served at Delice Crepes, a crepe stand that serves French-Polynesian style crepes which are incredibly light and soft. We had Tahiti, which was an amazing dessert crepe topped with strawberries and shredded coconut (my favorite!). There’s also Tutu’s Sweet Shop, featuring a variety of homemade fudge as well as Dole Whip pineapple sorbet, macadamia nuts, cookies, and other snacks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”192652″]<\/p>\n

3. Island Scoops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93618″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”426208″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”213796″]The Marketplace also features Island Scoops, a small kiosk that serves local flavors of ice cream, and a shave ice stand with all the usual varieties. This delightful ice cream parlor presents an array of tropical flavors, taking your taste buds on a tour of the islands. From the rich, creamy coconut to the bright, citrusy passion fruit, every scoop is a celebration of Polynesian culture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”469539″]<\/p>\n

4. Hale Pop\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93619″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”324288″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”136571″]As far as “real food” goes, the Marketplace also has a hot dog stand like no other. Hale Pop’s serves gourmet, foot-long<\/i> hot dogs. These things are huge\u2014Costco dogs got nothing on them\u2014and they’re packed with flavor due to the creative toppings Pop’s uses.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”554066″]<\/p>\n

5. Tita\u2019s Grill<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93620″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”182544″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”148839″]Another place that will fill you up is Tita’s Grill, a food truck from Kahuku that is now parked permanently at Hukilau Marketplace. We got to sample the garlic shrimp, one of the main dishes that made the food truck so popular, and it was exactly what you’d expect from a shrimp truck in Kahuku: amazing. The food truck now includes more seafood offerings from Sam Choy, including poke bowls.If you’re attending the evening luau at PCC and don’t want to ruin your appetite, you can still beat the heat with the awesome drinks served at the Marketplace.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”205764″]<\/p>\n

6. Fia Fia Farms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93621″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”944508″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”190970″]Fia Fia Farms serves smoothies and ‘otai. ‘Otai, if you’re unfamiliar, is a Polynesian drink traditionally made of grated fresh fruit mixed with coconut milk and water. The result is something between juice and a smoothie. Fia Fia Farms makes their ‘otai with fresh fruits that are locally sourced. There are actually bunches of bananas that customers can pick themselves for their drinks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”176111″]<\/p>\n

7. So\u2019Da Bomb<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93622″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”115699″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”319476″]If you’re looking for something fizzy, there’s also a “food” truck that exclusively makes soda: So’Da Bomb. The sodas begin with regular soft drinks like root beer, lemonade, and ginger ale, but are served mixed with additional fruit juices, including tropical offerings like blue curacao and blood orange. You aren’t going to go hungry at the Hukilau Marketplace, and their offerings provide some serious competition to the various food trucks in nearby Kahuku.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”844461″]Shop to your Heart\u2019s Content at PCC<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”132141″]It’s not just a few Polynesian-themed gift shops that are at the Hukilau Marketplace. You can buy anything from clothing to home accents, jewelry, surf equipment, and even authentic Polynesian wood carvings and handicrafts. These aren’t, however, just a random assortment of tourist-y shops. The Marketplace is populated only with stores that are significant in the local community or properly reflect the Polynesian Cultural Center’s Pacific traditions and heritage. Here are some of the following:[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”192024″]<\/p>\n

1. Nona\u2019s Tropical Threads<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93623″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”194918″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”710378″]The clothing store, Nona’s Tropical Threads, for example, is named after Nona Warner, a Hawaiian woman from Laie who worked for years as a seamstress at Polynesian Cultural Center, creating thousands of costumes and uniforms for the Center and its employees.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”246209″]<\/p>\n

2. Hapa Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93628″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”119344″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”204482″]With its diverse collection of traditional Hawaiian goods and modern, island-inspired merchandise, Hapa Home Hawaii offers a unique shopping experience that captures the essence of the Aloha spirit. From handcrafted jewelry and artisanal products to tropical home decor and local artwork, every item tells a story of the rich Hawaiian heritage and the island’s breathtaking natural beauty. It’s a place where culture and commerce blend seamlessly, inviting visitors to take home a piece of Hawaii’s charm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”106068″]<\/p>\n

3. Ukulele Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93624″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”687040″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”777914″]One specialty store is found further into PCC: Ukulele Experience, a building dedicated entirely to the famous instrument. The “experience” includes a store that features a variety of ukulele types, a ukulele-shaped exhibit where visitors are walked through the process of ukulele building, and a hall of fame where famous and historically-significant ukuleles are kept on display.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”587846″]The PCC Experience<\/b>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”498142″]If you’ve yet to be convinced to make the drive up to Laie, the Polynesian Cultural Center should seal the deal. The Center, which is a Polynesian-themed living museum, is in my opinion a must-do for anyone who’s visiting Hawaii. It’s a great way to learn about the different cultures of Polynesia, a place that gets little global recognition, in a variety of engaging activities that’s fun for all ages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”966389″]<\/p>\n

Mesmerizing Shows at the Polynesian Cultural Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”93625″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”924528″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”138667″]PCC features a variety of “villages,” each with their own attractions centered around a specific Polynesian culture. Each village provides shows and events throughout the day, allowing visitors to walk through the park and experience each one on their own time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”93626″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”602666″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”532096″]In the middle of the day, there’s a “canoe pageant” held, where canoes representing each of the villages float through the center lagoon and showcase their traditional dance and garb.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”93627″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”695486″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”144512″]Every evening PCC holds luaus<\/a>, which are an attraction unto themselves. Each luau involves a dinner buffet featuring a variety of Hawaiian and local foods as well as live shows of traditional song and dance. The night ends with the famous evening show Ha\u2013Breath of Life<\/i>. Ha,<\/i> a multicultural performance that incorporates song and dance from various Polynesian traditions, tells the story of a boy growing up in a village and learning the traditions and skills needed to survive and protect the ones he loves.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”169197″]Why Visit PCC<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”102716″]If the Center and shows aren’t quite your style, Hukilau Marketplace is a worthy stop for anyone going up to the North Shore of Oahu<\/a>. And everyone should visit the North Shore, at least once. The Marketplace doesn’t cost anything to visit, after all, and there’s plenty to do up there that you won’t find yourself bored. You can stop here for a few hours on your way to other North Shore attractions and activities, but be careful: you could easily get sidetracked into spending the whole day at Hukilau Marketplace![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”715456″]If you want the full PCC experience, check out the admission options and packages<\/a> offered by HawaiiActivities.com<\/a>. You can purchase the day pass, luau ticket, or admission to Ha\u2013Breath of Life<\/i>, or choose from package options to save.<\/p>\n

The Polynesian Cultural Center has always been a must-visit to me, and with the addition of the Hukilau Marketplace it’s worth spending your entire day there.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”157128″][vc_button border_width=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”192575″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawaiiactivities.com%2Fen%2Fhawaii%2Foahu%2Fctg%2F160500%3Futm_source%3Dblog%26utm_campaign%3DHukilauMarketplaceatPolynesianCulturalCenter%26sid%3D1486%26cid%3DblogHukilauMarketplaceatPolynesianCulturalCenter|target:_blank”]BOOK NOW[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
