Enjoy lobster in the open air
Story by AVERIE SOTO Photos courtesy PLUMERIA BEACH HOUSE
Apopular crustacean among fishermen and chefs alike, the
ruby lobster has been a sta- ple in restaurants across the U.S. for decades.
In Hawaii, a popular place to enjoy this dish is during dinner Plumeria Beach House. Located inside The Kahala Hotel & Resort, the restaurant offers the Lobster Thermidor ($78), a whole Maine lobster with Hamakua mushrooms, country bread croutons, Gruyere cheese, ogo (seaweed), Kawamata
Farms tomatoes and relish. “Based on executive chef Jonathan Mizukami’s back- ground on French cuisine, lobster thermidor was cre- ated almost two years ago,” explains restaurant manager
Julie O’Lear.
To make this dish, the
lobster is slightly poached and the claws are removed and butterflied open. The claw meat is then removed, chopped, mixed with the bread croutons, and finally sautéed with the mushrooms, lobster sauce, cognac, dry mustard lemon juice and tar- ragon. The filling is placed in the lobster’s head and spread
over the tail. The dish is then topped with white Gruyere sauce and baked.
“Customers can expect great service and excep- tional food that we use lots of local fresh ingredients,”
Lobster Thermidor ($78)
O’Lear says.
An open-air restaurant,
the eatery features an all- day dining experience with multiple buffets, including the daily breakfast and weekend seafood dinner.
