For your luau birthday bash, use traditional or infused Hawaiian foods to match your theme.
Luau theme parties are not only entertaining to plan but simple to do. Infusing a luau or Hawaiian theme in your birthday party plans gives you a chance to arrange foods that are tasty for both kids and adults. Luau foods are light on the stomach but rich in flavor for your taste buds. With the use of grilled and roasted foods dressed with herbs and spices, you can make your birthday luau theme one that's perfect for your overall party theme. Does this Spark an idea?
Kebabs
Kebabs are a staple on any luau menu. Allow your guests to construct their own, or pre-make a variety of kebabs in chicken, beef, fish and vegetables. Alternate with potatoes, peppers, onions and your choice of other vegetables to build your kebabs and set on the grill. Serve kebabs over rice or with seasoned grilled corn. Another kebab arrangement you can make uses cubed ham and pineapples. For a fruity combination to use as appetizers or for dessert, mix a variety of luscious melons, kiwi, coconuts and pineapples all to be skewered kebab-style.
Pizza Buffet
If kids are the primary guests for the luau birthday party, they may not take well to the range of Hawaiian menu items as would adults. Instead, create a pizza buffet and add a few luau-themed pizzas such as a traditional Hawaiian pizza that includes ham and pineapple on the tomato and cheese-based pie. Use the remainder pizzas for kid-friendly options like pepperoni and cheese or a fresh veggie pizza. Some toppings on other luau-themed pizzas include shrimp with red peppers and fruit pizzas with apples and pineapples.
Traditional Hawaiian Style Foods
Who says you must have your dessert after dinner when you have so many delicious options with a customary luau meal. Luau desserts include banana bread, coconut and guava cakes, and fruit cups. All of these sweet treats make an ideal choice for island pleasures. Traditional luau foods use chicken, ham and seafood as the base to be accompanied by rice or veggies. Include these items on platters in small portions as well-seasoned appetizers. Huli Huli chicken is Hawaii's own version of barbecue chicken made of huli-huli sauce, which is a mixture of pure brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger and spices. No traditional luau birthday party is a hit without the use of the roasted pig, which is usually used as both d cor and the meal during special events.
