a street cafe in Paris. The soft, creamy brie cheese encased in a piping hot puff pastry is accompanied by candied macadamia nuts and thin slices of cabernet- and cinnamon- poached Fuji apples.” He adds that he’d rec- ommend it be paired with an Oregon Viognier or Slovenien Red Blend.
In addition to the aforementioned Ko Olina Club (a ham, turkey, bacon, white cheddar and avocado panini served with garlic french fries), other delectable entrées include the cleverly monikered Roy’s Style Field Trip Lunch and the island fish and chips.
It’s evident that Shinogi was feeling nostalgic when he envisioned the former entrée, which includes kalbi, crispy wings, yaki-style salmon, pickled vegetables and furikake rice. “Yes, (I was) the skinniest kid with the biggest lunch
bag on every field trip,” he says.
As for the fish and chips, Lee believes that it
encapsulates the essence of the menu.
“If had to explain (the) lunch menu with one dish, it would be the fish and chips. It’s fresh local whitefish, delicately tempura battered, served with an Asian tartar sauce and thin- sliced lemon wedges, with of course, chips — or fries,” states Lee, who’s been with Roy’s Ko Olina for 17 years and started there as a busboy. “It’s simple, done right with influences from Hawaii, Asia and Europe. That’s what Roy’s does best. Creatively, it takes you on a global spice trail and meshes culture through cuisine
and service.”
