πΊ Pai Honolulu - A Fresh Take on New American Cuisine π΄
Just experienced Chef Kevin J. Lee's tasting menu at this hot new fusion spot! The 5-course appetizers, 3 mains & 2 desserts blend Hawaiian ingredients with global flavors - perfect when you need a break from sushi overload. π£β‘οΈπ½οΈ π Chefβs Buttermilk Cornbread Fluffy with tangy buttermilk + honey miso butter - like fancy corn tortillas! π½β¨ π Kona Kampachi Citrus-cured salmon with scallops, cucumber & cherry tomatoes - so refreshing! π π¦ Heβeia Samoan Crab Steamed dumplings with crab (a bit fishy for me) + sweet corn/edamame. π₯ π¦ Kona Lobster THE STAR! π― Half tail in aromatic broth with fennel & seaweed. That rich, tangy bisque? *Chefβs kiss* π π Escargot French twist with chewy mochi & pickled radish. π₯π«π· π Lamb Taro Puff Fried lamb (a tad greasy) with cumin + crisp salad. π₯ π₯© 90-Day Dry-Aged Beef Tender but salty sauce. Roasted cauliflower stole the show! π₯¦ π§ Mai Tai Sherbet Rum-spiked & fruity - bittersweet palate cleanser. πΉ π« Dark Chocolate Haupia Decadent ending! Coconut-chocolate duo with crunchy almonds. π₯₯ πΉ Drinks : All Insta-worthy! Ambience : Open glass walls = zero privacy.
