A poke bowl that I learned in Honolulu, very simple and sooooo delicious |
About this recipeI first heard about poke when I visited the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu, and my first try was a revelation |
 |
 |  "Poke" means "to cut" or "to slice" in Hawaiian language |
Oahu islandHonolulu, in beautiful Oahu. That was the last island of the Hawaiian islands that I visited, for I was under the assumption that Honolulu was just another American city, with its starbuck and other chain food restaurants...And I was wrong ! The city and the island are actually very interesting ! I recommend to visit not only Honolulu but also the countryside which is amazing |
 |
VolcanoeHere's the volcanoe "Diamond Head" that you can see from Waikiki beach |
 |
WaikīkīBeautiful Waikiki beach... |
 |
Though I liked Waikiki, I preferred other beaches, on the south side, more quiet, with locals, and fewer tourists ! |
 |
And I love those Hula dances, and even if they are here for tourists' delight, I find them so beautiful.... Something that I learned during my trip to Oahu : These dancers tell a story, but through their hands : You are supposed to look at their hands, for it is their hands that will tell the story |
 |
The greatest surferThe best surfer of all times is probably Duke Kahanamoku, and this statue reminds us that Duke used to swim and surf here |
 |
The other greatest surferDid you recognize the other best world surfer ? Yes ! That's me, holding a surf board for the very first time in my life.... |
 |
That's me... falling. |
 |
Still me... in the water... |
 |
Surfing in waikikiAnd finally I could surf my first wave... in waikiki beach ! |
