My regular readers already know what big foodies my husband and I are, but this post is dedicated to our dear friends who share our love of "ono grindz." It's no accident that we've formed friendships with people who have highly developed palettes of all types -- the sushi lovers, the Greek-food lovers, the deep-dish pizza lovers, etc. These are strategically built friendships that serve to nurture our obsession with good food...and this past Saturday, we dined in style with the Chinese-food lovers and the wine lovers. A match made in heaven!
We headed to Pah Ke's restaurant in Kaneohe with excited anticipation. The owner/chef, Raymond Siu, had prepared a special 5-course meal for us and personally gave us a detailed description of each dish as it was presented to our table. Nothing we ate was offered on the regular menu so we eagerly awaited each dish with wonder and excitement. Pictured above is course number 3, Raymond's take on the traditional won ton soup with seafood encased in a light egg-white wrapper. Delish!
I regret not taking more photos (and taking notes!) during dinner, because while I can still taste the wonderful flavors of each dish in my mouth, I've forgotten the charming descriptions that went along with it. Perhaps too much time has passed since our dinner, or perhaps too much wine passed my lips during dinner. But if you find yourself on the Windward side and craving great Chinese food, head to Pah Ke's for a meal you won't soon forget!
To our friends who shared this gastronomic delight with us, your company was the only thing that could compare to the great food! Thank you!
