hawaiian night at Forty Two. the culinary adventure began with a couple of hawaiian~tinis and a ukulele playing in the background. great beginnings. an appetizer of cucumber salad and tuna sashimi was followed by a seafood stew topped with a perfectly-poached and perfectly tender, head-on, pink, jumbo shrimp. the main course was pork two ways: super succulent, fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, the other; fork shredded - both topped with bbq sauce. the chef explained the whole pig that was scheduled, turned up rancid. uh oh. dinner wrapped up with a yummy pineapple mousse and sponge cake positioned on super thin, mandoline shaved, pineapple wafers complimented with a wylie dufresne inspired, sugar encapsulated, pistachio nut. cool. all that & lei’d twice. mahalo!
