have your cake and eat it too

When in Hawaii, you just can't not eat at Roy's it seems. Owner Roy Yamaguchi, Hawaiian-born, presents Euro-Asian fusion food in several branches on the different islands, and even on the mainland. He's even got his own TV show that's showing on the Asian Food Channel.

And that was where the wedding dinner was held - three tables in a private room at the Honolulu branch.


The menu


Roy's Dim Sum Style Appetiser Plate of Furikake Ahi Tataki; Pan seared Hudson Valley Duck Breast; Wood-grilled Szechuan Spiced Baby Back Pork Rib; Hot Iron Seared Shrimp Stick with wasabi cocktail sauce


Mongolian Grilled Chinese Chicken Breast Salad with Sesame Soy Vinaigrette


Surfer Special of Roy's Classic Macadamia Nut Crusted Shutome with Maine Lobster Sauce and Reggiano Morney Topped Mahimahi with Orange Cayenne Beurre Blanc


Coconut Haupia Turnover with Tropical Coulis

A riesling and pinot noir, and of course champagne, were offered as well.

And the wedding cake - which I forgot to take a picture of - was totally edible, and pretty yummy. The top tier was macadamia, the bottom devil's food. And of course, plenty of frosting.

Needless to say, I was Stuffed.
