Stent: A tube designed to be inserted into a vessel or passageway to keep it open. Stents are inserted into narrowed coronary arteries to help keep them open after balloon angioplasty. The stent then allows the normal flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. Stents placed in narrowed carotid arteries (the vessels in the front of the neck that supply blood to the brain) appear useful in treating patients at elevated risk for stroke.
It may feature food such as poi, kalua pig, poke, lomi salmon, opihi, haupia and beer, and entertainment such as traditional Hawaiian music and hula. Among people from Hawaiâi, the concepts of luau and party are often blended, resulting in graduation luau, wedding luau and birthday luau.arlier, such a feast was called a pÄâina or âahaâaina. The modern name comes from that of a food often served at a luau; squid or chicken lÅ«âau, which consist of meat, lÅ«âau (or taro) leaves, and coconut milk. The main dish of the luau is kÄlua pig. Another dish that is served is poi, made from the roots of taro.
Helena's was probably the most legitimate Hawaiian food we had during our entire 8 day trip on two islands. It was delicious and definitely one of our best meals in Hawaii. We got a large rice, small poi, laulau, luau squid, fried butterfish collar, long rice chicken, mac salad = $32 after tax and tip. The fried butterfish collar was deeeelectable, moist and crunchy and full of flavor. My second favorite dish was probably the luau squid or long rice chicken, tied.
