Dish seen in latter parts of trip to Hawaii (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dish' is the definition.
(poi is a kind of dish)

'latter parts of trip to hawaii' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'seen in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for poi that I've seen is " Hawaiian dish".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
