Now that sounds like it fits in well with the concept of Tiki, taking inspiration from Oceanic cultures and making something that was palatable to Haole sensibilities and tastes, as John-O has pointed out before, the food in these Tiki establishments wasn't really Polynesian, just reworked (not even that at times) Chinese restaurant fare. So to me, that mock-poi sounds very Tiki to me.
