Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and as families start planning gatherings and celebrations to honor the moms in their lives, Chef Chai is preparing a lobster-laden feast fit for the occasion.
And, it’s much more than a meal that includes lobster, but rather a series of dinner and brunch seatings featur- ing all-you-can-eat lobster prepared three ways and a host of local favorites from pupu to entrées and deca- dent desserts.
After three-plus decades of adapting and updating at his previous restaurant ven- tures in Waikiki and Aloha Tower Marketplace, owner and chef Chai Chaowasa- ree continues to perfect his iconic award-winning is- land fusion cuisine at Chef Chai on the ground level of Pacifica Honolulu on Kapi- olani Boulevard. Chef Chai, which also impresses with award-winning interior de- sign elements, serves up a contemporary look and feel, features a private din- ing room and offers seating at the spacious full bar as well as on the outside patio.
