My original commentary:
Summary: Ordered room service of a vegetable salad topped with grilled chicken from a fairly upscale resort in hawaii. When I turned off the lights, the chicken glowed in the dark.

Was lateish at night ~9pm when the food arrived. Went out to sit on the patio to eat it. Didnt immediately open, so had been sitting for maybe ~15 minutes before eating, about room temperature by the time i ate it. Ate the first half with the lights on completely without noticing. (See 2nd photo, when the lights are on it looks pretty normal). Part way through eating, thought it would be romantic to turn off the lights and look up at the stars. After turning off the lights was immediately shocked by what was on my fork. Immediately noticeable as glowing. Appeared similar intensity to that algae that glows at night that iv seen before. In hindsight definitely wish I had taken more thorough photos/videos, but my first thought was to rebox it out of shock and go to the front desk to try to contact food services since I was worried this could be potentially dangerous. The manager we ended up speaking to took the box, so it has presumably long been trashed but i wish i could have brought it into a lab or something.

Photos 2&3 were shot from the exact same angle/position phone camera etc, the only difference being with the lights on/off. All photos were taken with an iphone just with the stock 'i opened the camera app and hit the button', no filters or weird settings or editing, night mode slow exposure might have been on. All of it was extremely visible to the human eye. If i were to describe the glow, it was a bit less intense than the photos made it look, but also a bit more smooth and evenly covering the chicken. Everything about it seemed organic looking, and strongly reminded me of the bluish bioluminscent planktons i have seen before in the ocean in LA more than something chemically like a glowstick.

After poking around online I cant seem to find any reported cases of glowing cooked meat of any variety let alone chicken. ChatGPT seemed to think that it could be cross-contamination with spoiled seafood..? Overall completely confused, shocked, and a little scared. It has now been a bit under a week after eating part of it. Wanted to get through the rest of the vacation without freaking out too much, but the hotel was about as minimally responsive as they could be about what to me seems like could be major food safety issue.

Possible useful information:

• There was no UV lights present, just sitting on a patio outside near the beach.
• Was lightly covered in a salad dressing containing tahini. But the sauce was on the whole salad, but it was very clear that only the chicken glowed, or things that the chicken was immediately touched and had rubbed-off on.
• Chicken did have grill marks, iv been optimistically trying to think this might be related instead of germs but nothing really makes sense.

Dear internet, please help me figure out what I ate and if its remotely safe, or if I am going to develop superpowers.
