Luaus are a great party idea for adults and kids alike, and with so many tropicanas in mind, what a fantastic opportunity to feed the kids wonderfully healthy fresh fruit and tropical foods!
I personally love authentic Pacific Island 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 little ones in mind, Party Mums have 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 parties for kids, I always think about finger foods, kids love finger foods, 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 cube 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
fancy fruit skewers…don’t just string pieces of fruit onto a stick, how about cutting them into fun shapes with a cookie cutter first?
Pineapple 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 diced mango and chicken inside.
Pani Popo… these sweet coconut buns are a traditional Samoan food and are deliciously doughy, baked in a gooey coconut sauce and so easy to make.
