The next Maui meal we ate was dinner at the Old Lahaina Luau. This was our first formal luau, and I was memorized by 1) the beachfront setting, 2) the pulled pork (sorry, mahi mahi – you were good, but outshone), and 3) the hula and Tahitian dancing.Priding itself on authenticity, the Old Lahaina Luau has been called the best among all the Hawaiian Islands. I have nothing to compare it to, but I loved it and only felt overtly cheesy (at the moment Lloyd and I and 75 other couples were simultaneously slow dancing on the beach) once. In addition to the pulled pork and mahi mahi Ive mentioned, we ate poke, Okinawan sweet potatoes, laulau, steak, chicken, and poi. Of course everyone had fairly low expectations for the fabled baby-food-esque poi, but I adored it and so did Lloyd.It was the perfect creamy, slightly salty/slightly sweet accompaniment to the savory pulled pork.Tomorrows post will be Lloyds 30^th birthday dinner!
