What do you get when you com-bine an irresistibly creamy, richtaste with a captivating crunch?
None other than the world’s finestmacadamia nut! Sure, these nuts areloaded with fat, but they are heaven sent.And you really can’t complain whencountless studies have shown that a dietrich in macadamia nuts reduces total cho-lesterol, including LDL-cholesterol. It’sdoctor-approved!
And just so you know, I’m crazy aboutmac nuts! In fact, I currently have a hand-ful of Hawaiian Host Chocolate CoveredMacadamia Nut candy sitting at the bot-tom of my purse. And while nothing canbeat the combination of savory chocolateand mac nuts, this week I had to expandmy horizons and take on a taste for othermagnificent macadamia nut creations.
Believe me, they weren’t hard to find.The following Ono, You Know establish-ments make my job easy, as they spoiledme silly with the most onoliciousmacadamia nut creations. So, what areyou waiting for? Join me in macadamianut madness!
Shor AmericanSeafood Grill
Keeping it local,Shor AmericanSeafood Grill putsgreat emphasis on not
only flavor, but sustainability.Nestled in Hyatt Regency Waikiki, thisAmerican classic restaurant features thebest in fresh seafood and irresistiblemeats, always sourced from sustainableand local vendors.
Germany native Sven Ullrich serves asexecutive chef at Shor, which featurespicture-perfect views of Waikiki Beach.
Knowing I was manic for macadamia
nuts, Chef prepared a delectable saladand entree showcasing this beloved nut.First came Shor’s very own ArugulaSalad ($12), prepared with local arugulaand baby bell peppers from ’NaloFarms, carrots, locally grown tomatoesand fresh pear dressed with a zestymango vinaigrette, and topped withcrumbled bleu cheese and roastedmacadamia nuts, of course.
“This is a very fresh salad andmacadamia nuts are just ideal for it,”Ullrich says. “Nothing has the perfectcrunch like a macadamia nut has. It givesa really cool experience in your mouth —nothing beats a macadamia nut!”
According to Ullrich, fresh macadamianuts are brought in from the Big Islandonce a week, which is wonderful consid-ering Mongchong Fish and Kauai Shrimp($38) requires an essence of macadamianuts to give it that pizzazz. This dinnerentree consists of monchong and Kauaishrimp nestled on a bed of rice pilaf,served with a light lemon beurre blancand macadamia nut pesto sauce.
“Traditional Italian pesto is done withpine nuts, but we twisted it up some and pre-pared ours with macadamia nuts instead,”he explains. “The mac nuts are slightlyroasted with some oil and seasoned with abit of salt. It goes amazingly well with fish— it’s sweeter and has more crunch!”

doriko Japanese Restaurant opens up aworld of possibilities. Located in King’s
Village Shopping Center in the heart ofWaikiki, this eatery — which was founded
nearly 40 years ago — has become a gathering place forkamaaina and visitors alike, who wish to experience theauthenticity of izakaya dining amid a traditionalJapanese-style atmosphere.
Dining Out recently paid a visit to this renownedrestaurant and met with general manager Hiro Takei,who explained that the act of socializing over a deli-cious meal and soothing drink is just as important as thequality of cuisine.
DO: As one of Waikiki’s longest-standing Japaneserestaurants serving only the best in authentic cuisine,this year, Odoriko celebrates 40 years of premier serv-ice. How did the restaurant come to be?
Takei: When Odoriko first opened in 1972, we had agreat connection with the local community, then theJapanese economic boom soon followed. Now, 40 yearslater, we continue to have the support of the local com-munity, who we appreciate. However, 75 percent of ourbusiness is devoted to the Japanese visitor market.Odoriko is a family business founded by my parentsNobuteru and Akiko Takei. It’s actually the sisterrestaurant to their first restaurant, Maiko, which wasoriginally located in the Ilikai Hotel. Currently all ofour energy is focused on Odoriko. I took over as gener-al manager in 2010.
DO: What is the concept of Odoriko? What can new-comers expect when they dine here?
Takei: What stands out about Odoriko is our dedi-cation to providing our customers with the mostauthentic Japanese experience that we are able to pro-vide — and that, of course, begins with authenticity oftaste, service, ambiance and décor. Odoriko is anIzakaya-style restaurant, so we serve mostly smallerdishes that go along with drink. The environment hereis really buzzing. We encourage loud laughter and theservers are taught to always display a high amount ofenergy. However, we’re a lot more comprehensivethan the traditional izakaya-style restaurant becausewe offer set dinners, hot pot and a full sushi bar aswell. Our restaurant is very family-friendly. We’realways mindful of presentation, but we’re not fine din-ing — our intent is to provide comfort food. We havea various assortment of Japanese beers and a large col-lection of Japanese sake as well. Sake pairs very wellwith sushi, sashimi and raw dishes, and we use top-grade sashimi here. Our tuna is purchased locally,often directly from the fish market. Everything is asfresh as it can be.
DO: At a quick glance the impressive menu selectionis already quite apparent. What are Odoriko patrons’top picks?
Takei: For family-oriented customers, the favoritesare the set meals such as the Odoriko Set, which comeswith crab, lobster and steak. Our hot pot entrees also arevery filling. Yet, typically our most popular items areour fresh sushi and sashimi, and our tapas-style dishes,including kalbi, poke, grilled squid, chicken skewersand fried chicken. Odoriko offers lunch specials from11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and patrons love the Odoriko Special

Then,Matsu Sushi ($36) is our most popular nigiri assort-ment, featuring 11 different types of seafood such astuna, salmon, ikura, sea urchin, mackerel, shrimp — allfresh.
DO: Many customers are huge fans of the restau-rant’s various of hot pot options. What are some of yourhot pot recommendations?

Also, a plan for Happy Hour is in the worksand we intend that Happy Hour will start in the nextcouple of months.
DO: Odoriko has reached a 40 year landmark thisyear. What do you attribute to the establishment'ssuccess?
Takei: The 40th anniversary of Odoriko really creptup on us — time really flies. Our family is just so grate-ful that we were able to do business here for this long.Our success is thanks to our customers, and we justhope that we can thank our regular customers throughour promotions and by offering a rewards card. Also,we hope to bring in more of our local friends to dinehere and experience what we have to offer.

On one recent evening at SeafoodVillage Chinese Cuisine, generalmanager Johnson Ma was visited
by a couple who used to dine at the restau-rant many years ago. Although they usedto frequent the eatery, this particular visitwas the first time they had been in a while,and they were delighted to see that theirold haunt was still around. And Ma wasjust as happy to see them, too.
“I always like to see customers comeback,” he says. “We just really want totake care of people. We want you to havea good time.”
Located downstairs in Hyatt RegencyWaikiki Resort & Spa, Seafood Villagehas been drawing in customers — visi-tors and locals alike — for nearly 20years with its traditional Hong Kong-style cuisine.
“What makes Chinese food great is thatit’s best to it eat family style, and is goodfor celebrations with friends and family,”Ma says. “And Seafood Village is a greatplace to gather … It’s the best place to cel-ebrate anything. We’ve had baby showers,retirement parties, graduations andanniversaries.
“And the star of all of these (events) hasbeen our $10.95 lunch,” Ma adds. Themeal is $10.95 per person and is for partiesof 10 or more. It includes Minute ChickenFried Noodle, Stir-Fried AssortedVegetables, Kalua Short Ribs, Beef andBroccoli, Chicken Salad and four types ofthe restaurant’s most popular dim sum:
Barbecue Pork, Chive Dumpling, PorkHash and Seafood Dumpling.
“For $10.95, you can’t beat that any-where,” Ma says.
To host your party, there are three pri-vate rooms — two of the rooms holdabout 20 people, and the larger room can
host up to 80 guests. For larger par-ties, the entire restaurant — whichholds up to 210 guests — also can berented out.
The lunch special and dim sum arethe most popular for lunch hours, butthe nighttime dining at SeafoodVillage certainly should not be over-
looked. And if you’re going to dine at aplace called Seafood Village, you’d betterbe sure to try a few of the items for whichthe restaurant is named.
“We like to feature the freshest inseafood,” Ma says. All of the lobster, crab,prawn and fish dishes are among the mostpopular. Some of these include TeaLeaves Smoked Jumbo Kahuku Prawns($23.95), which is made with black tealeaves smoked into the shrimp, and HoneyGlazed Walnut Kahuku Prawns ($22.95).
And now, the same great flavors thathave been pleasing customers for yearsrecently got a fresh, contemporaryrevamp. Award-winning Chef Michael Auvisited Seafood Village last month. Fortwo weeks, he collaborated with therestaurant’s kitchen staff to reinvent someof their classic flavors, while also coming
up with some new concoctions.“They came up with a variety of new,
unique dishes,” Ma says. New dishesinclude Golden Pumpkin Egg Tofu. Andolder dishes such as Hot and SourSeafood Soup ($5.50) are back with akick. “Chef gave us some good ways toreally season the food, and make it evenmore flavorful … He looked at all of ourdishes, and just how to make the flavorreally jump.”
With new dishes, new twists on classicdishes and some of the best deals in town,there’s never been a better time to checkout Seafood Village. On top of all of that,a large part of the restaurant’s charm is itsunwavering desire to serve its customers.Perhaps that notion is best exemplified thenight that the couple of former regularsvisited. Before they left, they told Ma howpleasantly surprised they were thatSeafood Village was still around. Thingsin Waikiki, after all, are always changing.
“Yes,” Ma responded to the couple.“We always are here for you.“

Seafood VillageServes Up theBest LunchtimeDeal In Town
“We try to give a taste of Hong Kong right herein Waikiki,” Seafood Village general manager
Johnson Ma says,explaining that the restaurant serves uptraditional Hong Kong-style food. Therestaurant’s dim sum options havealways been one thing that keeps cus-tomers coming back. Seafood Villagestrives to maintain a high level of authen-ticity when it comes to its dim sum.
“If you went to Hong Kong for dimsum, you actually wouldn’t see toomany places still using a cart,” heexplains. And as authentic Hong Kong-style eatery, Seafood Village adheres tothat standard as well. “When you orderit, that is when we start to make it. In
China, that is how they want it. They want it fresh, piping hot, right outof the steamer, so that is how we serve it.”
Ma explains the Chinese characters for dim sum mean “touch of theheart.” “It’s a staple for daytime,” he says, “kind of like a Chinese sand-wich.” But nighttime diners need not worry. Ma assures that the restaurantalso offers some dim sum at night.
In addition to the dim sum delights that are featured in the $10.95 lunchspecial, another customer favorite is Xiao Long Bao (six pieces for $8.99).It’s a broth-filled dumpling dipped in vinegar.
And the made-to-order format is status quo for Seafood Village’s entiremenu, not just its dim sum. “Our food is always made fresh,” Ma says.
And in large part thanks to Ma, no matter how many times regulars fre-quent Seafood Village, they always will have something to look forward to.Ma is constantly working to tweak and improve the restaurant’s dishes.“Every day, I try to create a new dish. I work with the chef, and together, wecreate a lot,” he says.

Anytime Cafe is doing its home-work when it comes to pastasauce. It is now using the Italian
authentic and produced La Rustichellawhite truffle pate in a few of its dishes,including the new Trio ShrimpSpaghettini with white truffle sauce,priced at $15.95. This dish’s foundationis in the sauce and it cannot be missed.The creamy truffle sauce blended withLa Rustichella delicately brings out afantastic flavor with each bite, and itdoesn’t leave you lumbering toward thedoor on your way out.
“When we start cooking this one, cus-tomers can smell it from the kitchen, itsmells delicious. I like tomato sauce usu-ally more then white, but this is so good,I really love it,” says Anytime Cafeowner Cindy Wong.
As a classic Tuscan tradition, the whitetruffle pate is made from fresh whitetruffles, extra virgin olive oil and a touchof salt. Served with spaghettini pasta,you also will find three types of scrump-tious shrimp — bay shrimp, tiger shrimpand large crab meat stuffed shrimp — inTrio Shrimp Spaghettini. With LaRustichella being so expensive, the whitetruffle sauce is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Other options on Anytime Cafe's spe-cials menu that have become popular areCheese Ravioli and Chicken Piccata,both priced at $12.95. Anytime Cafe alsoserves breakfast on the weekends start-ing at 8 a.m.

For the pupu lover, it’s hardto beat a good Chineserestaurant — and Canton
Seafood is a good Chineserestaurant. Whether experienc-ing the food as designatedappetizers or enjoying an entreeto share or to be devoured solo,the cuisine offers a variety offlavors that reflects the variedculinary landscape of thediverse and ancient land.Cantonese cuisine is just part ofthat tradition.
Enough of the history lesson.Let’s eat!
Though you may get strangelooks if dining alone, there isnothing wrong with tackling theHouse Special Appetizer Platter($25.99) all by yourself. Thatbeing said, you will have moreroom for other dishes if youshare, but that’s up to you. Theplatter is a weighty helping ofegg rolls (done with an interest-ing curry-style spice), cold jelly-fish, salt and pepper pork chops,roast duck and char siu pork.You won’t find the platter on theregular menu, but ask for it.
If you’re looking for some-thing lighter, Boiled Shrimp($11.99) will do the trick. Thesweet shrimp is boiled, chilledand served head on with ahouse special soy sauce con-taining pepper, ginger andgreen onion.
Other tasty items are Deep-Fried Tofu ($8.99) or StuffedTofu with Shrimp ($9.99) Thedeep-fried tofu is a crispysnack perfect for noshingwhile sipping an ice cold beer.Stuffed with shrimp, it is amoist and fluffy treat with aclean flavor that does not carryover to the next item.
And the next item could beClams with Wine Sauce($12.99). If you didn’t share theappetizer platter, you can mendfences with the steamed clamsthat are chilled and topped witha Chinese white wine saucecontaining parsley, red pepper,onion and green bell peppers.
One final recommendation isFried Sliced Squid ($11.99).The squid is moist, tender andpacked with a clean, naturalflavor. A garnish of green onionand red peppers add just theright subtle accompaniment tothe dish.

“This dish isn’t always on the menu,but we’ll be running it as a special July 14and 15,” says general manager EdwinOhta.
Mac Nut Lovers Paradise featuresmacadamia buttermilk pancakes toppedwith a homemade macadamia nutwhipped cream and then sprinkled with agenerous amount of … you guessed it …more macadamia nuts!
“It’s an overkill of mac nuts, but peoplelove it,” Ohta says with a laugh. “Youhave macadamia nuts in your pancakes,on top of your pancakes and in thewhipped cream. We use 100 percentmacadamia nut paste to combine with thewhipped cream.
“Mac Nut Lovers Pancakes is unique tous here at Eggs ’n Things,” he adds,attributing the creation of this dish to gen-eral manager Michael Skedeleski. “Heenvisions what will go well together.”
Well, after the first bite it’s a fact thatpancakes, homemade whipped cream anda mound of macadamia nuts are a matchmade in heaven. Seriously, these have gotto be my favorite pancakes ever! And thewhipped cream? Don’t even get me start-ed on that. I could eat mountains of itsolely on my own!

A little hot,a little sweet
It would be pretty hard not to spot a Korean restau-rant on “Koreamoku” Street, as it’s a mecca forthe popular cuisine. But once you step into Red House, you know
you’re going to have a unique dining experience —Korean fusion food and a hip, youthful ambience,with entertaining K-Pop videos playing continuouslyin a modern, red-and-white decor.
And while you can find traditional Korean farehere, like bibimbap, the fusion dishes, such as theinterestingly named “Bulgogi Rice Pizza,” aredrawing a crowd.
Of course, bulgogi (marinated barbecue meat)won’t rock your world if you don’t eat meat or fish,but how does Korean Style Spicy Soba ($10.99lunch only) sound?
For the noodle lover who likes just a light touchof heat, this lunch special will sing. The noodles aretopped with a special sauce, lemon slices, springmix and seaweed. According to owner Justin Chun,it’s new to the menu, and was created to satisfy the
local palate by turning down the heat a bit. Soalthough it may not be as fiery as Red House’s
Jjolmen, it’s spicy and full of flavor. “It’s a little bit sweet,” Chun explains,
“and we add mild kim chee juice.”Mmmm. A bowl of soba — a little hot,
a little sweet — sounds like the perfectdish to enjoy while rockin’ out to K-Pop.

Sincerely, Bryce “Saimin Jr.”
Dear Hearts,Life is full of messed up stuff; Some things you cannot control.The only thing you can control
is the way you react to a crappy situation.
So before you fly off the handle,Allow some time for contemplation.Filling your mind with frustration, Leaves no room for elation.

With its unique décor and dishes thatare both flavorful and presented withflair, Yogurstory has captured the
attention and appetites of locals everywheresince it opened in November 2010. The eateryoriginated as a quaint brunch café that focusedon yogurt, according to chef Andy Dalan.However, Yogurstory has since evolved into afull-service restaurant that offers customers avariety of choices for brunch, dinner, pupusand cocktails.
“(Before) we had about seven or eight yogurtmachines and I was hired as a pastry chef,” Dalanrecalls. “The owner is a businessman from Korea; inKorea, they have nice, café-style eateries so he wanted tomake one in Hawaii that was a brunch restaurant. But therestaurant totally transformed — we now do breakfast,lunch, full dinner, appetizers, pupus at night and have afull bar.”
“Originally, this restaurant served mainlycoffee, desserts and light sandwiches,”echoes manager Jimmy Kim. “With a
name like Yogurstory, a lot of peoplepresumed they would find yogurtmachines here … but now, we serve avariety of food — including wafflesand omelettes — so now, it’s more ofa brunch restaurant. We won the 2011Ilima Award for ‘Best NewRestaurant.’”
Kim says that many customers askabout the restaurant’s unusual name — espe-
cially now that the focus is not on yogurt.“In Korea, when you spell ‘yogurt,’ it’s actually
spelled ‘yogur’ — there’s no ‘t’ at the end,” he explains.“This was (the owner’s) first business venture in the U.S.
— he designed all the logos and marketingmaterials in Korea, but when he
came here, he realized that, inthe U.S., ‘yogurt’ has a ‘t’
at the end. But he justdecided to go with thename (as it was).”
When it comes tothe eatery’s menu,there is a plethora ofitems sure to please
those craving some-thing sweet or others
looking for a savory meal.Currently, three dishes at
Yogurstory reign as customer favorites: PrimeRib Loco Moco ($14.95) — premium slices of prime ribover a bed of white rice, brown gravy and two sunny-side-up eggs — Red Carpet ($9.95), featuring red velvetwaffles with taro cream cheese; and Hurricane RiceBowl ($13.95), a fusion bibimbap with bacon kim-chee fried rice, Korean veggies, strips of prime riband a poached egg.
“The waffles are our own creations,” explainsKim. “Our chef (Dalan) is a dessert chef, so a lot ofthe food we bring out has a design. It makes it moreinteresting for the customers.”
Other popular dishes include Chantilly Waffle($9.95) — the eatery’s newest waffle — “Swagger”Steak Salad ($13.95), complete with thinly slicedNew York steak atop mixed greens, pickled onions,fried onions, bacon pecan brittle and Maui oniondressing; Oyster Dynamite ($9.95), featuring threeoysters baked with mushrooms, spinach and jalapeñosoy; and BulGoGi BBQ Ribs ($9.95).
“We just changed the menu recently,” says Dalan.
“It was limited at the beginning but we just did renova-tions — we made our kitchen bigger so now we do salads,entrées and waffles. We’re also doing appetizer specialson Fridays and Saturdays.”
While Yogurstory is busiest during the weekends forbrunch, the eatery is hoping to attract more customers fordinner. Salads, as well as “Breakfast at Night” dishes —including the popular Classic Eggs Benedict ($10.95) —are available for dinner, and entertainment is featured onFridays from 9 to 11 p.m.
“We have three different singers who rotate,” confirmsDalan. “They roam around the restaurant with a wirelessmic every Friday during dinnertime. Reservations areavailable, but only for parties of six or more.”
