My Speech

I’ m going to talk about foods in Aloha Festival. Poke contest is a one of events in this festival. Poke is a traditional dish in Hawaii. Mainly fresh fish like Ahi, it is tuna fish, are used. They are cut into like square and added soy sauce, onions and so on. It is like Hawaiian Sashimi. Now Poke is developing with taking into another country’s food culture. This is a contest that we decide the number one Poke. These pictures are the number one Poke in 2005 contest.

Ho’olaule’a is a party and many kinds of food booth line a street, held Hula, and live concert. There are so many food booths like Korean food, Chinese food, and so on. Especially shaved ice and garlic shrimp are popular. Shaved ice is similar to Japan’s “Kakigoori”, but it is finer than Kakigoori. Picture’s one is rainbow flavor. Garlic shrimp is so popular that many people make a long line in front of this booth. If you go to Ho’olaule’a, you can get many kinds of food without going around everywhere.
