Poi Dog Sauces
Kiki Aranita, a celebrated chef, writer, and fiber artist, created Poi Dog Sauces to share the rich and diverse flavors of Hawaii with a wider audience. Her line of island-inspired condiments, including Huli Sauce, Chili Peppah Water, and Guava Katsu Sauce, captures the essence of Hawaii’s multicultural cuisine. Kiki’s sauces are a tribute to her heritage and a continuation of the Poi Dog brand she originally brought to life through her beloved restaurant and catering company in Philadelphia.
