Luaus are a great party idea for adults and kids alike, and with so much Tropicana in mind, what a fantastic opportunity to feed the kids wonderfully healthy fresh fruits and tropical foods!
Personally, I love authentic Pacific Islander food, but let’s face it, your kids probably won’t like it, plus, for a truly authentic luau, you’d have to put a lot of effort into cooking pretty intensely, roasting pigs in the soil, wrap fish in coconut leaves, etc.
So with the little ones in mind, Party Mums has created a fail-safe menu, tried and tested on our own little natives, you can get the full recipes on our website mentioned below.
First of all, when I throw successful kids parties I always think about finger food, kids love finger food so why fight what is natural?
Hawaiian Luau Menu from The Party Mums
Hawaiian pizza on a stick…think Hawaiian pizza, ham, cheese and pineapple and diced them on cocktail sticks.
Hawaiian Pizza Cupcakes… good English muffins topped with your favorite tropical ingredients.
Huli Huli Chicken Thighs…a delicious traditional Hawaiian tropical pineapple marinade to sweeten up those boring old drumsticks
Deluxe Fruit Skewers…don’t just string pieces of fruit onto a stick, how about first cutting them into fun shapes with a cookie cutter?
Pineapple and Coconut Fritters…basic pineapple fritters are delicious just the way they are, but why not add a few extra ingredients and make them even more delicious?
Mango Chicken Sandwiches…you can’t have a party without at least one type of sandwich on the table and for a Hawaiian luau what could be better than one with chopped mango and chicken inside.
Pani Popo… these sweet coconut buns are a traditional Samoan food and are deliciously doughy, baked in a sticky coconut sauce and so easy to make.
