Polynesian Cultural Center. Lāʻie, Hawaii, USA.

Cooking less by cooking more.

Tai and his team make full use of the capacity and speed of RATIONAL iCombi and iVario to prepare magnificent all-you-can-eat buffets of Polynesian and Pacific Rim cuisine, brimming with local ingredients and culture.

The extensive menus include fresh Ahi tuna caught that same day; roast pig; Kanpachi fish wrapped in green ti leaves; ribs with a passion fruit glaze; teriyaki brisket; taro rolls infused with fresh poi; and loads of desserts like a pineapple crème brulee and Koko Samoa meringue cookies.

“So aloha means love for me, because oftentimes people might not remember what they eat or the name of the dish and whatnot, but they'll remember how it made them feel. And that's the experience I want to deliver for each and every guest that comes here to the Polynesian Cultural Center. And so by that, aloha, it means love.”
