duck hearts, kumquat, pistachios, 5-spice glaze
surprise hit of the night, hearts were super tender, dressing had a nice balance of sweet and tart, pistachios were a great textural addition. ducking delicious. Thanks for the rec @Chowseeker1999
Liholiho seems creatively delicious (chicken fried broccoli ).Too bad about the preserved black bean sauce overkill on the lobster dish. I like lobster as simple as possible. That would irritate me. The Manila Clam dish looks .
Well, I highly recommend you finally loan us your PorkyBelly, so we can accomplish this task. Until then, I’m thinking a cocktail at Louie’s Gen Gen Room, followed by supper at LYC - Clams with Naan and the Grilled Shortribs. Okay, maybe the Hopper Shrimp Salad. Definitely a decadent dessert.
Hey, check this out. Someone is a fan of Liholiho…
I usually adore Commerson’s pastry chef, underrated, Liz Sencion‘s desserts, and this Baked Alaska would have been delicious (inside was tres leche cake, passion fruit & coconut ice creams ), but they got a little happy with the mango compote. It reminded me of canned fruit cocktail. And did they set your Baked Hawaii on fire? Well, they did ours…
sounds good, the gen gen room also has a separate and different food menu than liholiho, just in case you were hungry.
i think the hopper shrimp is a must order. everything on the top of the menu, especially the left side, is pretty small so you can definitely order more from that part of the menu. how much do you usually order at animal?
If it’s just us two? For dinner - usually two orders of chicken liver toast, one order of pork belly sliders (2), puffed beef tendon and a wild card (whatever vegetable, salad or raw seafood thing that strikes our fancy), one bacon chocolate bar… I miss the panna cotta! I eat about a third of it and homie eats the rest.
Sounds like a wonderful meal and thank you again for your original recommendation for Liholiho.
