Sweet Chili-Glazed Monchong
Stir-fry Vegetables, Togarashi Miso Butter Sauce
I had been meaning to post this entry for some time now, but you know how it is.
Joyce and I went for a girls’ day out which included a sumptuous meal at Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room and shopping at Ala Moana Shopping Center. Joyce and I share a taste for good Pacific-Rim cuisine and the Pineapple Room is one of our favorite places to have lunch. The open and casual atmosphere makes it a wonderful place for relaxed conversation with friends before hitting the mall for some power shopping. Another reason to love the Pineapple Room for lunch is the beautiful natural light that comes through the side windows that make photographing the food easy, even with a point-and-shoot.
Despite the awesome menu selections, it seems that I can never stray from the “known good,” which for me is the Sweet Chili-Glazed Monchong. Of course, the Kiawe Grilled Kalbi Shortribs and fried rice is a winner, too, but quite heavy. Oh, so tasty, but when I eat it, I know I am in for a kanak attack of epic proportions.
Seared Ahi and Furikake Crusted Honda Family Tofu Salad
Mixed Greens, Spicy Soy Vinaigrette
Joyce opted for some lighter fare with the Seared Ahi and Furikake Crusted Honda Family Tofu Salad. I love the artistic presentation of this dish.
Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding Pie Dome
Oreo Cookie Crust and Oreo Cookie Ice Cream,
Frangelico Anglaise and Chocolate Sauce
A meal is not complete without dessert. Dessert at Alan Wong’s is always tantalizing to the eyes as well as the taste buds. This decadent chocolate pie dome was crazy-delicious. Of course, I’m a huge fan of chocolate, so it’s hard for me not to like a dessert like this one.
My mouth is watering just looking at the photos again! It wasn’t just the food that made this a fantastic experience, but also the company. I hope to be able to make it back to the Pineapple Room with Joyce again soon!
