“If we can, and if it’s available, we always try to support local. It’s sustainable, and critical and important for Hawaii,” says Chaowasaree.
A bit sooner, though, Chef Chai at Pacifi- ca celebrates Filipino Food Week, starting today (June 6) through June 12. At $50 a person, guests can enjoy a set menu cre- ated by chef Mark Lopez, which features everything from Pork Dumplings and Sisig Chicken Wraps to Black Tiger Prawns and Pork Belly Lechon Roulade. For dessert, treat yourself to sugar-free Halo Halo and
Fried Caramelized Banana Lumpia.
And, for even more of Chaowasaree’s ev- ergreen food concepts, residents and visitors alike can find his new restaurant — Kalo Ha- waiian Food by Chai’s — at the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach on Royal Hawaiian Av- enue. The local food eatery boasts everything from lau lau and kalua pig to poke and poi. Check out kalohawaiianfood.com for more
information.
“Besides the food, we want guests to under-
stand and appreciate Hawaiian culture. To me, that’s always No. 1,” he says. “We’re never just doing the food for the food, we want to have people experience the culture, too.”
1. Deep-fried Crispy Golden Tilapia with Spicy Garlic Patis Lime Dipping Sauce is featured on the Filipino Food Week menu.
2. Roasted Prime Ribs of Beef with Natural Beef Jus and Creamy Horseradish are both in the Father’s Day Wiki Wiki Box.
