What Makes Our Lau Lau Special

Our Lau Lau stands out because of the quality and freshness of the ingredients. We use choice cuts of beef and pork, which provide rich, hearty flavors. The addition of black cod fish adds a subtle, delicate taste that balances the meat’s richness. Seasoning is kept simple with sea salt and black pepper, allowing the natural flavors to shine through.

The wrapping is another key element. Instead of the traditional taro leaves, we use layers of kale and spinach leaves. These greens not only add a vibrant color but also contribute a mild, earthy flavor that complements the meat and fish. The leaves also help keep the moisture inside during the long steaming process.

The Art of Steaming Lau Lau

Steaming Lau Lau for five hours is essential to achieving its signature texture and flavor. This slow cooking method breaks down the meat fibers, making the beef and pork incredibly tender. The fish also cooks gently, maintaining its flaky texture without drying out.

During steaming, the kale and spinach leaves release their natural juices, infusing the meat and fish with subtle herbal notes. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors that feels both comforting and exotic.

How to Enjoy Your Lau Lau Lunch Plate

Our Lau Lau lunch plates come ready to eat, making them perfect for a satisfying midday meal. Here are some tips to enjoy them fully:

• Serve warm: Lau Lau tastes best when served hot, right after steaming. The warmth enhances the aroma and texture.

• Pair with traditional sides: Consider adding steamed rice, poi (mashed taro), or a simple salad to balance the richness.

• Use your hands: Traditionally, Lau Lau is eaten by hand, which adds to the experience. The leaves can be peeled back to reveal the tender meat and fish inside.

• Savor slowly: Take your time to enjoy the layers of flavor and the tender texture.
