I've also noticed that some people here tend to lump "local" Hawaiian food into Tiki. I'm talking about items like Spam Musubi; Loco Moco; and the one scoop macaroni, one scoop rice plate lunch. This to me is Tiki Revisionism. Tiki food is rooted in mid-century menus which would have included only faux Chinese food and anything that might have been served at a tourist luau in the 1950's or 1960's.

Spam Musubi... NOT TIKI !!
