Pomai Kulolo

Their poi is so fresh and amazing, consistency is perfect… not too watered down, still thick enough and freshly sweet. Try their yummy haupia kulolo too… my mouth is salivating just thinking of it!

Best poi hands down. No need to add water, so Ono right out of the container. My infant loves this stuff! Buy four at a time discounted, definitely the way to go.

Love their poi and kulolo! The poi is better than any other brand! Very different flavor from all other brands! Always fresh!

kulolo and haulolo are great so I thought I should get some poi to satisfy my poi cravings but I was really disappointed on my first spoonful.
For myself, it was too watery. I would prefer diluting it to my own taste.
I hope this will be taken as constructive criticism. I will still buy kulolo and haulolo.

This kūlolo is simply wonderful. Just the right consistency. Best eaten fresh, but hold its own for a few days if kept tightly sealed and in a cool place. I’d highly recommend enjoying this product… I know I always look forward to it.

Great Hawaiian food! Poi is delicious and way better pricing. Kulolo was only a childhood memory until now. And they make Haulolo which is kulolo with haupia… delicious invention :) The company has such friendly people! I’ll go to the farmer’s market just to see them. I’m glad eating Hawaiian food for my family doesn’t have to be expensive. Good entrepreneurs. They have my support.

Yummy poi. Good kulolo. Prices are right. Service is friendly. They are at various farmers’ markets. The kalo comes from kauai but they make the products in oahu. Everything costs the same price. I could eat a whole container of poi in one sitting. C’mon kanak, you know you want it.

I bought some haulolo, was so excited to try it, and they must have given me one from an old batch because the kulolo portion was so hard! Inedible. The haupia was yummy, so I bet if they gave me the fresh one I thought I paid for, it would have been delicious. So sad!

been trying to find this guy for the past week. Turns out, he’s only at front st on Friday (not tuesday as is listed on their site).
great kulolo, hapia, and haulolo.
dont miss it

Pomai Kulolo has ono Haupia, Kulolo, Haulolo, and Poi right in my neighboorhood downtown, on Fort Street Mall between Hotel and King Street at the Farmer’s Market. First time I went there I made the mistake of bringing it home and putting it in the fridge without trying it first. Checked the next day and it was all gone :-(. Still trying to find who the culprit was, but my mistake for letting the family have at it first and thinking they’d save some.
Went the next week and boy is this stuff too good to share. Got the Haupia and Kulolo which were delicious. What happens when Kulolo and Haupia get married? Haulolo is born. Ingenious idea to have a layer of Kulolo at the bottom with a thicker layer of Haupia on top. It’s the best of both in one bite.

PRODUCTS: $ 6 EACH
— Haupia (coconut dessert w/​similar consistency to Jello)
— Kulolo (ancient Hawaiian dessert; presently, it’s made w/​kalo [taro], coconut milk + sugar) — has a thicker texture, and, although da buggah looks small, it can be quite filling. Sweet flavor that’s not too overwhelming.
— Haulolo (bottom has thin kulolo layer, top has thicker haupia layer)
— Poi (cooked corm of the kalo plant that is mashed up + water is added to reach desired viscosity) — subtle and mildly sweet. As local as I am, I never cared for eating poi, but the employee suggested some people like adding sugar to their poi. Came home, added Splenda, and now I can say I actually like eating poi. Half da container stay gone ;)
* On Fri., I stopped by their Fort Street Mall location at 11:30 AM + I got a great deal: choose any 4 products for $ 20!

DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND KULOLO ON O’AHU?!
Foodland, Yama’s, and Shirokiya (Ala Moana) occasionally have it, but usually you pay an arm and a leg (plus kidney and second unborn child) for a manini (small) piece … and they usually run out. I haven’t had good kulolo in years and immediately bought 3 of them, 1 of their poi, and 1 haupialolo.
INTERESTING FACTS
— You can freeze kulolo if you know you aren’t going to eat it right away (like, within a day)! Same can be done with rice and mochi. When you’re ready to eat it, you just have to nuke it in the microwave for a short period of time.
— In ancient times, kulolo used to be cooked in an imu (underground oven heated with rocks) for 6 – 8 hours.
— Founded in 2008, it’s owned/​operated by Keanuenue Kekaula who uses an ‘ohana (family) recipe; when he originally started, he’d sell it by the side of the road at various locations around O’ahu.

REVIEW #249

The last two Friday’s Pomai Kulolo has been at the Fort Street Famer’s Market and I cant stop going back! I love Kulolo and Haupia. Two of my favorite Hawaiian desserts and I have to say that their Kulolo and Haupia are by far the VERY BEST that I have ever had on island.
I hope they keep coming back to the market because its right by my office and I plan to visit them every time I see their tent! Its a yummy treat to end the week with and plus side its made with local ingredients!

Saw this tent at Eat the Streets and nearly went into conniptions. Two of my favorite food items put into one? BE STILL, MY HEART! I love haupia and I love kulolo. Why did I never think to put the two together?! My cousin and I each copped one box of haulolo to take home for $ 6 and raved about it to every single person we ran into. I’m pretty sure I’m half-​responsible for them running out at the end of the night. When I got home, I put my darling haulolo in the refrigerator even though I was worried that it would dry the kulolo out but the next day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Haulolo makes a refreshing treat on a hot, muggy day so support a local business and eat some haulolo!

I decided to try this new vendor at the April’s Eat the Street event on South Street. Although there was no line, they were giving out samples of their Haupia/​Kulolo («Haulolo») dessert.
Haulolo — 3 stars — it was ok, but they use canned coconut milk, so it doesn’t taste as fresh as Yama’s Fish Market. I don’t really care for the Kulolo though. I think it’s an acquired taste, plus it wasn’t cold since it was on the table and not in a cooler.
Pork (but since the ETS theme bacon, they also used bacon) Laulau — 5 stars — Very reasonable for a $ 6 plate of a laulau and rice at the Eat the Street event. I wasn’t super hungry, so this laulau hit the spot. The leaves were as fresh as it could be with a nice smoke flavor to it. The sweet potato was also cooked just right and very fresh, and not too big of a slab of meat to make this a nice lite dinner. I’d definitely order this again.
The staff was very friendly and nice. I then saw them selling their haupia and Haulolo dessert at the Home and Garden show at the NBC, but I am craving for their laulau!

Pomai Kulolo sells Kulolo, Haupia, and Haulolo which is Haupia gelled on top of the kulolo. I LOVE the haulolo and can eat half the bento tray before I even reach home! In addition to being ‘ono, the kulolo is dense, and the right texture and consistency.
Look for them Saturdays on right the side of the road near Honokai Hale (Wai’anae bound), or call them for custom orders/​catering.
