Pololi (meaning ‘hungry’ in Hawaiian) graces our little red dot from Hong Kong where it has three poké branches. It’s a little shack off Telok Ayer street offering raw Pacific line-caught tuna and farmed Norwegian salmon – cut into large cubes and tossed in Polynesian and Asian sauces. There are 6 flavour varieties on offer at the counter which revolve daily, from a Thai lemongrass Tuna to Yuzu and Pine Nut Salmon, Sambal and Mayo-based chilli. Choose your base of rice (red, brown, or white) or leafy salad and whether you’re going for the Keiki (150 grams fish) at $15.99 or the Kama’aina (180g) at $17.99. For something unusual try their Spam ($3.49) consisting of a wedge of spam sandwiched with teriyaki sauce and rice then wrapped with seaweed. For drinks, grab a Passion and Orange slushi (with or without a sneaky shot of rum) and pretty bottles of Hawaiian Kona Brew Co beer.
