Hawaii’s Tourist Spots offer something unique for everyone from Pacific Rim treats, Shareables, Chocolatey Goodness and more!
MW Resturant
One of Honolulu’s best restaurants MW Restaurant, showcasing excellent Pacific Rim cuisine by husband and wife duo Chef Wade Ueoka and Pastry Chef Michelle Kerr-Ueoka.
At dinner, ordering the mochi-crusted Kona Kanpachi is a good suggestion.
This unique fish preparation is what made Chef Wade famous and brought attention to the restaurant. Served with seasonal local vegetables and a vinegar-based sauce.
Their Fried Chicken is a play on traditional Chinese pressed duck aside gorgeously plated Ahi Poke Nachos.
For dessert, James Beard semi-finalist Chef Michelle offers flavor and seasonality
Tropical Fruit Creamsicle Brûlée featuring liliko’i sorbet and liliko’i custard, tapioca pearls, tropical fruits, and a gorgeous burnt sugar brûlée cap.
Liliko’i otherwise known as passionfruit is a distinct flavor of the islands.
The “MW” name comes from the incredible chemistry of Wade and Michelle’s unique, complementary skills.
The Whole Family Can Share at Mud Hen Water
Kaimuki neighborhood is fast becoming a food destination, adding to it Mud Hen Water serves excellent Hawaiian-style small plates served family-style.
The often-changing menu includes classic Pohole salad; baked banana with bacon, peanuts, egg, and curry butter; curry chicken rice croquettes; Hawaiian-style BBQ spare ribs served with a fresh lime salt dipping dish.
Mud Hen Water’s famous Pineapple-Polenta Upside Down Cake is a true crowd pleaser and more than enough reason for the trip all by itself.
Those looking for a super special sweet treat should order the Chocolate Kiawe Bean Brownie. Served with black sesame gelato and mac nut toffee, it’s one of the most divine and unique desserts on O’ahu, made from local kiawe bean flour. (Unless you visit a local natural foods store like Down To Earth, you’re unlikely to be able to try this unique native food at any other restaurant on the island!)
