___ platter (Chinese restaurant offering)

PUPU

This Hawaiian-style appetizer often features small portions of meats, seafood, or veggies served with dipping sauces at Asian eateries.

This clue is looking for a two-syllable term commonly seen on Chinese restaurant menus. "Pupu platter" refers to a tray of small, bite-sized appetizers like spare ribs, egg rolls, or shrimp toast—popular in American-Chinese cuisine. The blank hints at the repeated "pu" sound, making "PUPU" the straightforward answer. It’s a playful name that’s stuck around since mid-20th century Polynesian-inspired dining trends.
