In The Cat and The Mouse case, it was a 2.5-fer. The Cat suggested lunch at Orchids Restaurant. Entree plus appetizer or dessert for special price. The Mouse was a little hesitant. Smaller portions? Still hungry after?
But, try try.
Lobby Decoration
When the restaurant’s name is Orchids …
The Cat’s order.
Crema All’Aragosta
Kona Maine Lobster Bisque, Lemongrass.
What is Kona Maine? Dunno, tasted good.
Homemade Lasagnette
Fresh Chef Pasta, Kahuku Prawns, Scallops, Avocado, Lightly Spiced. Think deconstructed lasagna, The Cat kept thinking won ton skin. Look Funn noods? Hee hee.
The Mouse chose.
Fried Calamari
One of the best The Mouse has eaten, not greasy, super crispy. Nom!
Orchids Burger
8 oz. Prime Burger, Shiitake Sauté, Romaine, Tomato, Onion, Bacon, American Cheese, Guacamole. More nom.
Server suggested we cannot leave without indulging in their signature coconut cake. Twist our arms/paws.
Halekulani’s Signature Coconut Cake
Chiffon Cake, Coconut-Amaretto Cream.
A little on the pricey side for lunch, but not not “break the bank, OMG what were you thinking!” pricey. More affordable than dinner. Not everyday, but once in a while. Hope to be back in the not too distant future.
Enjoy. Eat well.
The Mouse
