 Alan Wong was one of the founders of Hawaii Regional cuisine (along with Roy Yamaguchi and Georges Mavrothalassitis), and his restaurant remains one of the hottest in Honolulu. It's not the setting that makes the place---the restaurant is on the third floor of an undistinguished office building and only the crowded valet parking downstairs tips off its location. Inside, it's the food that matters. Expect unexpected collisions of cultures and flavors. Wong developed his pyrotechnic style at CanoeHouse on the Big Island, and then opened his eponymous restaurant in Honolulu, followed by The Pineapple Room in the Ala Moana Shopping Center, and Alan Wong's Hawaii in Tokyo. The majority of the menu is composed of signature dishes such as the tomato soup and sandwich, a simple combo of puréed Big Island tomatoes, served chilled, and mozzarella cheese, foie gras and kalua pig. However, from time to time, new dishes like the Mini Loco Moco will make appearances. Chef de cuisine Derek Watanabe and his team also have a way with seafood; look for smoked butterfish and ginger-crusted onaga with miso-sesame vinaigrette. For dessert, try the Mango, Mango, Mango---mango "shave ice," kaffir-lemongrass mango sorbet, Hayden mango kanten, mango mochi and coconut tapioca. A well-edited wine list has a good selection of Rieslings and other whites that match Wong's work well. |
