Partying it up withBirthdayCakes
Iknow a few people who anticipatetheir birthday with much anxiety andstress. I, however, look forward to cel-
ebrating my birthday every year and makea day (or sometimes week or month) outof it! I couldn't think of a better way tospend my special day than with my amaz-ing family and friends, who I love verymuch. Today, I’m officially a year older (26,to be exact), as my birthday was yester-day, and honestly I don’t feel any differentnow than I did at 25. On second thought, Ido feel a bit different — more stuffed — onbirthday cake, of course! Yum! It really is awonderful feeling!I adore birthday cakes, not just because
they’re associated with a special day, but
rather they taste sodarn good! Let’s see,vanilla, chocolate, redvelvet, cheesecake,ice cream cake,Chantilly, the list goeson — and they're allso onolicious! This week, I could-
n’t help but indulgein every cake that I
set my sights on, and I was happy to seethat the following “Ono, You Know” bak-eries and patisseries love birthday cakesjust as much as I do!So now that the candles have been
blown out, the wishes have been made andsome of the cake and ice cream have beendevoured, I’m excited for this new yearahead of me. But, before I get too far aheadof myself, anyone care to join me for evenmore cake? Grab a fork, there’s plenty ofbirthday goodness left to go around!
Larry's BakeryMy birthday jubilee started earlier this
week at Larry’s Bakery, where I was in for asurprise of a lifetime. Sure, it’s obvious thatthis Salt Lake bakery on Lawehana Street isknown for its renowned baked goods,including pastries, cookies and breads, butupon setting foot inside the shop, I was hitwith a birthday cake extravaganza!
Iris Yafuso and brother Lance Yafusooversee much of the operations when itcomes to this family-run business, and Irissays they works hard to cater your birth-day cake to your liking.“We offer all different flavors: butter-
cake, red velvet, chocolate, chocolatechiffon with white buttercream frosting,dobash and Chantilly cake,” Iris exclaims.“All of the cakes can be decorated as well,centered on a certain theme or with yourchild’s favorite toy,” she adds. “In additionto birthday cakes, Larry’s Bakery alsobakes up cakes for bridal showers, babyshowers, grad parties and more.“We always recommend the butter-
cream frosting because it’s white and, likea canvas, we can decorate it in many dif-ferent ways,” she explains.And just in time for my birthday, Iris
and her team surprised me with aprincess cake — I’ve always been a fan ofDisney princesses, especially princessJasmine, so it was a real treat! Now, let meexplain, this cake was nowhere near youraverage cake — not even close. This spec-tacular fairy tale cake consisted of threelayers that included an actual castle andtoy figurines of Belle, Aurora, Cinderella,Princess Jasmine, Ariel and Snow White!This is any girl's dream come true (yes,even one who just turned 26).Prices for Larry’s cakes range from $15
to $300 depending on the size, flavor anddesign of the cake.“We always work with the customers to
make their experience as simple and funas possible,” Iris says.So, wether you prefer Ni Hao Kai Lan,

Here in the islands, weall have that specialuncle in our lives who
lives for the ocean. That oneuncle who would spend hourson the boat pursuing the per-fect ahi, aku and bottom fish.Today, Uncle’s Fish Market &Grill, located at theWaterfront at Pier 38, honorsthose uncles by offering upthe freshest of seafoods, sushiand more.
This award-winning establishmentopened in 2007, and manager SeanSimpson says customers can expectnothing but the highest quality prod-ucts. In fact, Uncle’s Fish Market &Grill’s fishing boat “Sea Spray” is actu-ally docked at Pier 38.
“Fishing is an important part ofHawaii's culture and we really wantedto highlight this in our restaurant,”Simpson says. “We really want to bring
Hawaii's fishing communitytogether and everyone wholoves seafood.”
Dining Out recently caughtup with Simpson over platesand plates of fresh fish, shrimp,sashimi and poke at the eatery,where he shared exactly whyUncle’s Fish Market & Grill isthe absolute mecca for allseafood fanatics.
DO: Uncle’s Fish Market &Grill is a favorite amongseafood lovers and everythingis served fresh, correct? Whatis the concept behind therestaurant?
Simpson: Uncle’s FishMarket & Grill was named as atribute to all of the uncles ineveryone’s lives who werealways there for us. We wantour customers to feel at homehere, and also bring back thefeel of old Hawaii. People reallyenjoy the freshness of the seafoodhere, and we get our fish from theHonolulu fish auction six days a week.Some of our fish is from the Big Islandas well, and even as far as Tahiti.
DO: Do you have a special uncle inyour life? Is it true that your uncle alsoowns the restaurant?
Simpson: Yes, my uncle, BruceJohnson, actually owns the restaurantand he has a great love for the ocean. Ifyou look on the walls, you’ll find actualphotos of him and friends of his whenhe was learning how to fish. Uncle’sFish Market & Grill also is a subsidiaryof Fresh Island Fish, which our familyowns. Fresh Island Fish brings in anaverage of 20,000 pounds of fish perday.
DO: The menu offers various selec-tions of fish and chips, fish tacos, fishsandwiches, salads, fresh fish entrees
and more. Can you elaborate on themany delicious creations prepared byexecutive chef Geoffrey Arakawa?
Simpson: Well, our Fresh Opakapaka($25.95) is a signature item featuringsautéed opakapaka with fresh mush-room butter sauce, topped with kingcrab meat. It’s also served with yourchoice of rice or french fries withtossed salad. Uncle’s Signature PokeTower ($15.95) is another favorite, witha tower of sashimi-grade poke layeredwith guacamole and ahi tartar, toppedwith tobiko on a bed of rice and nori,served with tortilla chips. Check outthe daily and weekly specials, too. Thedaily specials feature certain catchesthat we receive from the fish auction —we’ve been seeing a lot of opah recent-ly.
DO: Those who love the classics likefresh fish and chips with fries and coleslaw can get it all here, can’t they?

We have a bar aswell, offering beer, wine andcocktails that go well withthese dishes.
DO: For those a bit morehealth conscious, what wouldyou recommend?

The Crab-N-Avocado Salad ($15.95) isanother healthy option withnatural crab meat withromaine lettuce, fresh avoca-dos, cucumbers and toma-toes. We offer sushi Thursdaythrough Sunday nights, andall day on the weekends. Oursushi chef Ernie Gray createsspecial rolls, such as HamachiJalapeno ($19.95) and Poke onthe Pier ($17.95).

DO: Who is your clientelehere?
Simpson: We have a nicecombination of both localsand tourists. For the past cou-ple of years it’s been mostlylocals, but now many touristsin Waikiki have heard about usand have come to dine here.But we do have a greatamount of loyal customers,who we are really grateful for.
DO: What is something spe-cial about the restaurant thatnot many people would beaware of?
Simpson: First off, all of ourfish is fresh and my uncle’scompany that owns therestaurant, Fresh Island Fish,is the largest seafood distribu-tor in the Islands. I think whatpeople might not be aware ofis that whenever you’re get-ting fresh fish at many of thehotels, grocery stores andrestaurants, a lot of times thefish has already come throughthis building.
DO: How would youdescribe the atmosphere ofthe restaurant?
Simpson: It’s definitelycasual dining, but because thequality of our fish is high, youcan come here and enjoy areally nice meal. We hope toopen more locations in thefuture.

Slurping up oodles of tasty noodlesBy Alana Folen
The Old Samin House, where saiminand other local favorites rule themenu, is a nostalgic landmark for
many locals who can’t resist the charmand tasty grinds offered here.Tomizo and Mitsue Ikei, whose parents
emigrated from Okinawa, opened thedoors to The Saimin House in 1962 onNorth King Street. Today, fourth genera-tion family members operate this family-run business, and although the name haschanged to The Old Saimin House, themenu remains the same.“We specialize in old-fashioned saimin,”
says manager Lois Ikei. “We follow thesame tradition of the local, old-fashionedsaimin, which a lot of people are familiarwith — it’s not ramen — but just the curly
noodles with a bit of texture.“Our menu is very simple, we try to
promote simple, comfort food, and we’veadded additional selections to the menuas well,” she explains. “The Old SaiminHouse is a family-friendly restaurant —everyone loves saimin!”In addition to the original saimin, din-
ers can enjoy Wun Tun Min, Wun Tun,Udon, Wun Tun Udon, BBQ Sticks, FriedSaimin, Fried Udon, Fried Soba, Musubiand more.“Our customers say our wun tun is
very exceptional, and we have a lot ofloyal customers who frequent the restau-rant,” Ikei says. “They (patrons) comeback time and time again for our friednoodles and, of course, our saimin.“Our saimin broth is homemade and
our noodles are brought in from EagleNoodle Factory.”

Getting down to the meat of thematter, you’ve got to admitthat burgers are synonymous
with the U.S. both here and abroad —whether we like it or not. Most of usgrew up eating the great Americanburger, but if you’ve never eaten meator have recently made the decision toeliminate it from your diet, then burg-ers just aren’t on the menu for you.Sure, there’s the ubiquitous “veggieburger,” but seldom do they meetexpectations: Oftentimes they’reeither too dry or rather mushy inside,or simply lacking in flavor.
Well, read on, veggie lovers, andsavor the ’shrooms.
Panya Bistro in Ala Moana Centeroffers a handful of burger options onits menu, but one that stands out fornon-meat-eaters is the PestoMushroom Burger ($10.95) —grilled portabello mushrooms,mozzarella cheese, lettuce andgarlic pesto sauce on a sesameseed bun (made fresh daily atPanya Bakery, of course),
served with a generous pile of crispfrench fries.
The portabellos rise to the occa-sion so deliciously that even die-hardcarnivores would be satisfied (well,many of them). The fresh basil tasteof the garlic-laced pesto comple-ments the earthy flavor of the large,meaty mushrooms, while the creamymozzarella holds the whole thingtogether. (Don’t forget to ask ques-tions. Panya will hold the cheese ifyou're not into dairy, for instance).
Do vegetarians love burgers andfries? If they’re dining at Panya Bistro,you can bet your portabello they do.

or restaurant manager JuliaWong, Duck Yun ChineseRestaurant, located in AinaHaina Shopping Center, is more
than just a clean, welcoming, Chineseeatery. Instead, it signifies decades ofhard work and family ties.
“This restaurant first opened around 27years ago,” Wong says. “It’s family owned, fam-ily management, all in the family.”
Wong, who has been the restaurant manager
since February, emphasizes the family ambi-ence that has been prevalent at Duck Yunsince its early years.
“(Our mission is) to provide good familyfood at affordable prices,” she shares. “(Wehave) a family atmosphere and you get a goodamount of food for the price. We’ve had thesame traditions for the past 27 years. Our cus-tomers are mostly people in the Aina Hainaarea — we have clientele that brought their lit-tle kids here, and now they’ve (the kids)grown, so they have their own families now.We see generation after generation.”
With more than 185 items on its menu, DuckYun offers a plethora of dine-in or take-outoptions for their customers. The restaurant’ssignature dish is Minute Chicken Cake Noodle($9.75), which is often requested by cus-tomers.

Changing menu, view at Top Of Waikiki
As Hawaii’s only revolv-ing restaurant, it’s notsurprising that Top Of
Waikiki is constantly changing.The view changes as cus-
tomers dine — the restaurantslowly moves to make a 360-degree rotation every hour — pro-viding varying views of the city. “There are reasons to appreci-
ate all times of the evening,” saysgeneral manager Craig Bunkley.“You can see the sunset over theocean, and then you can see thelights popping up all downKalakaua Avenue.”And in accordance
with this ever-chang-ing environment, TopOf Waikiki is launchinga new menu tomorrow,which will feature fivenew appetizers andseveral new or redoneentrees. Many of thenew dishes reflect chefJohn Neff’s talent toblend different flavorstogether. Neff describeshis culinary vision as “globallyinspired fusion.”Bunkley says that one exam-
ple of Neff’s ingenuity isSeared Scallops and Foie Gras($19), which is one of the newappetizers. It has li hing-black-ened scallops, seared Spam,Hudson Valley foie gras andpineapple gastrique.Other new appetizers
includeAnise Braised Pork Belly ($12),which includes Fuji apple andparsnip puree with jalapenocumquat chutney and balsam-ic sweet chili gastrique, andthe Grilled N.Y. Strip Steak($17) with papaya and Mauionion poke and lomi lomigrape tomatoes.“Neff has a talent for cross-
ing cuisines and tweak-ing things a little bit,”says Bunkley.A revised entree that
displays the restaurant’sinnovative fusion is theSurf and Turf ($38). “With this, I went for
East meets West, blend-ing Asian and Americanflavors,” explains Neff.“It has macadamia nut-
crusted fish, Asian stir-fry veg-etables and a sesame misovinaigrette. The short ribshave mashed potatoes andWorcestershire sauce.”Other new entrees include
Garlic Shrimp Macadamia NutPesto Linguine ($31), Braised Legof Lamb Rigatoni ($32), HerbRoasted Chicken ($29) and GarlicShrimp Caesar Salad ($13).
In addition to all of thesenew options, favorites such asthe Grilled Atlantic Salmon($35), which Neff and Bunkleysay is one of their most popu-lar dishes, will still be avail-able. “This has Asian and localinfluences, and takes tofu,scallops and shrimps to makeit into a souffle, all in a tempu-ra batter with grilled salmonon top.”Top Of Waikiki also offers
Sunset Specials, which includeNew York Strip Steak andLobster-Crab Cakes ($23.95)and Seafood Risotto ($22.95),offered between 5 and 6 p.m.nightly. Daily Happy Hour isfrom 5 to 7 p.m. and from 9 to11 p.m. and features $4 marti-nis and cocktails and $7 pupussuch as Poke and BBQ PorkSliders. On Saturday, enjoylate night happy hour from 10p.m. to 1 a.m.With these creative dishes
and ever-changing features,it’s no wonder that Top OfWaikiki remains on the top oftourists’ must-do lists.Bunkley says that the localclientele has been increasingin recent years, too.“For a reasonable price, you
can have a fine dining experi-ence with a great view and amenu that reflects the localscene,” Bunkley says.

tooth on the Chocolate Mousse cake($48, serves 12-16 people) it was love atfirst bite. All you chocoholics, are youready for this? The bottom layer of thistantalizing cake consists of a macadamianut and chocolate chunk dacquoise,topped with a light chocolate chiffoncake and two layers of decadent bitter-sweet Valrhona chocolate mousse. Assoon as you sample this cake of all cakes,you’ll notice the outer portion of this
chocolate paradise is made from a deli-cious two-toned almond sponge cake.Lastly, the cake is finished off with a pris-tine chocolate shiny glaze and decoratedwith delectable pieces of pure chocolate.Simply heavenly, isn’t it?Now, while the Chocolate Mousse cake
is right up my alley, it may be too rich forsome, which is why Koep’s LilikoiCheesecake (6-inch $23, 10-inch $42) isthe perfect choice for those cravinglighter fare.“The Lilikoi Cheesecake is one of our
best-selling cakes,” Koep says. “It’s definite-ly a lighter cheesecake, not like normalcheesecakes, which are usually rich anddense.”This refreshing birthday treat features
an almond crust and an alluring blend ofcream cheese and mascarpone cheeseflavored with hints of fresh lilikoi pureeand vanilla. A savory lilikoi glaze alongwith seasonal fruits also complementsthe cake, making it the absolute choicefor your special day. Be sure to orderahead of time to guarantee your cake ofchoice.

Baked Cheese Ravioliwith Crab ($12.95)
Nathalie Walker photos
Chef JJ Luangkhot has been delighting localfoodies for years with his fresh French-meets-Laotian-inspired dishes. Not to disappoint, the
award-winning pastry chef and restaurateur recentlyhas expanded his menu of savory and sweet creationswith the introduction of three new items.
“We started serving these dishes a few months ago,and so far they have been doing really good andeveryone liked them,” explains Luangkhot. “They’renot on the menu yet, but we thought we should letpeople know they will be soon.”
The first of the trio is a Manila Clam Black Ink Pasta($12.95). Tiny steamed Manila clams and vegetablesrest atop black noodles, which get their color fromsquid ink used in the dough. The ink also gives thepasta a pleasantly unexpected unique flavor.
“We also use a special white sauce made with anItalian seasoning,” Luangkhot notes. “I also add a littledried chili to make the sauce a bit more flavorful.”
Those seeking something a bit heartier will delightin the Baked Cheese Ravioli with Crab ($12.95), a trulycomforting dish made with homemade ravioli, creamytomato sauce, crab meat and a gooey blend of five dif-ferent cheeses.
New items soon to hitJJ’s Bistro’s menu
JJ’s Bistro & French Pastry possessesall the charm of a street-sideEuropean café, with patrons regularly
dropping in for a quick nosh paired withrelaxed conversation.Hoping to add to this feeling of being on an overseas holi-
day, Chef JJ Luangkhot started serving “Afternoon Tea at LeCacao Bistro” earlier this month at his Waialae eatery.“There are very few places (in Hawaii) that provide afternoon
tea,” says Luangkhot. “We just want to have another signaturedestination for Hawaii.”For the set price of $14.95 per person, diners will be treat-
ed to a spread that includes Crab Rangoon, Mini CroissantSandwich, Smoked Salmon, Ham and Cheese Quiche andScone, as well as choice of dessert — either an assortmentof French macaroons or a medley of scone, tart de citrus, redvelvet and le café.“It is more like a tasting menu,” notes the pastry chef. “For
eight pieces per person … this is perfect for people to havedifferent, but simple dishes.”Enjoy the finger food with a freshly brewed pot of tea. Flavor
choices for the kettle are Earl Grey, Chamomile, Green Tea,English Breakfast or Mango Peach, Chef JJ’s personal favorite.“It is something a little bit tropical,” he says with a smile.“Or, if they want coffee, we have a special coffee they can
order for $2 more,” Luangkhot quickly adds.Already in high demand by customers, “Afternoon Tea at Le
Cacao Bistro” begins at 11 a.m. and is available until 5 p.m.daily.“Hopefully,” Luangkhot says, “this will become a destination
for someone who really does not want to have a very heavymeal for lunch.”

“It is similar to a baked lasagna, butinstead of a plain lasagna, we add morecheese on top,” Luangkhot says.And what would a stop at JJ’s Bistro
be without dessert? New to the already-impressive lineup of indulgences is aChocolate Soufflé ($7.95), a light, airycloud of deliciousness made with onlythe finest Belgian dark chocolate, eggsand finished with a dusting of powderedsugar.“The soufflé is my specialty dessert
from back 20-plus years,” saysLuangkhot, who began his career as apastry chef under the tutelage ofpatissier Jean Marc Burillier at therenowned Maxim’s in New York.“We are known for our desserts … so
I tried to bring back my experiencesfrom New York to Hawaii.”

hours in a yogurt base with nine differ-ent spices including cumin powder,paprika, bay leaf and cinnamon pow-der,” says Kuinkel, who was a cook inDubai and Nepal for five years beforemoving to Hawaii. “Many other restaurants only use a
few spices, but we like to use a wholevariety of spices that are importedfrom India. We use a Northern Indian way ofcooking. It is healthier and lighter.”After marinating, the meat is cooked in a clay
tandoor oven at a 400 degree heat.“The flavor, the aroma comes from the clay
oven, giving the dish its special, smokey fla-vor,” Kuinkel adds.Served on a bed of sauteed green peppers
and onions, the dish is drizzled with lemon,and touched with a dash of salt and pepper.Recently Monsoon India has begun serving thedish on a sizzling skillet, helping to keep theflavors warm throughout your meal. Servedwith mint and tamarind chutney, MonsoonKebabs make a healthy meal of spice andsavor.

Dining Out is still the best choice for advertising my
restaurant! Since advertising with Dining Out, sales have
increased by 25% and we’ve been able to expand the
restaurant with more seating, as well as, open up another
restaurant, Le Cacao Bistro. We’ve tried other advertising
options, but Dining Out is our #1 Choice!

JJ Praseuth LuangkhotOwner, JJ Bistro & French Pastryand Le Cacao Bistro3447 Waialae Ave. • 739-09933441 Waialae Ave. • 626-5368
JJ Luangkhot, executivechef and owner of theaward-winning JJ’s
Bistro & French Pastry, hasbeen quite busy over thelast month or so afterrecently changing both thename and concept of hissecond restaurant, for-merly known as J2 AsianFusion. Now, as you passthe location on WaialaeAvenue, you’ll noticethat it’s called Le CacaoBistro. According toLuangkhot, this transfor-mation of sorts tookplace early last month.“This is a new concept
that I’m presenting here.J2 Asian Fusion wasmore like a SoutheastAsian eatery; now withLe Cacao Bistro it’s morelike a New York stylebistro,” explainsLuangkhot, who alsoserves as the eatery’sexecutive chef. “We’representing our cus-tomers with more steaks,rack of lamb, rack of pork,pizza, pasta and more. I feellike people are enjoyingmore of this bistro stylecompared to the Asian
fusion cuisine.”Signature items on the
new menu include PorkRack with Herbal MustardCream Sauce ($14.95) andNew York Steak ($18.95).“You see a lot of pork
chops these days, but not a
lot of pork rack,” Luangkhotsays.The 8-ounce grilled bone-
in pork rack is marinatedand complemented with aspecial blend of Dijon mus-
tard and honey sauce, andis accompanied by a med-ley of sauteed vegetablesand mashed potatoes.“We’re trying to offer larg-
er portions,” he says, addingthat the New York Steak is aprime example of that. This 8-ounce steak is
grilled and served with ablack pepper, red winesauce. It’s also paired witha side of mixed vegetablesand mashed potatoes —undoubtedly, it will leavethe average diner quitesatisfied. If you’re aseafood enthusiast, you’llmarvel at deliciousentrees, including theGrilled Salmon with Lemon
Caper Butter Sauce($12.95) and the LobsterBrioche ($12.95). Also,take the opportunity tosample the SoutheastFettucini Seafood Pasta($12.95) or Le ClamFettucini ($12.95), to name
a few savory options.“We’ve seen a quick
response to the changeswe’ve made and they’ve allbeen very positive,”Luangkhot says. “Ourfamous desserts are offeredhere as well, such as the
gluten-free Warm ChocolateCake ($5.50) and the SweetCorn Haupia Parfait ($5.50).”Beginning next month, Le
Cacao Bistro will be servingafternoon tea ($14.95 perperson) from 2 to 5 p.m.daily.
