One of the best ways to share the many cultures of Hawaii with our visiting guests is to immerse them in the food and crafts of our islands at the Annual Flavors of the Reef Celebration. On Friday, July 10, members of our ‘ohana spent the morning sharing various cultural crafts, local food, and great entertainment.
The food sampling was a big hit with our guests, especially the ones who were willing to try anything once, like dry opelu and even opihi! Some favorites include the Kani Ka Pila Grille’s “Crispy Pork” and the unusual and unique banana/spam lumpia.
As usual, great entertainment added to the success of the Flavors of the Reef. One of the highlights of the day was when General Manager Bill Comstock joined Mandy Cruz, Mon Lacuata, and Wanna Guzman in the Tinikling dance, the national dance of the Philippines.
Mahalo to everyone who participated in this great event; we look forward to next year!
