I fricken love Moku Kitchen. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite restaurant is, my brain automatically goes to Moku. Which is why, naturally, when we were brainstorming restaurants to reach out to for Spoon Hawaii's Valentine's Day post, this was the on the top of my list.
Moku Kitchen, like many of Peter Merriman's restaurants, focuses on supporting local farmers by bridging the upcountry farming of Hawaii with the urban downtown lifestyle. Aside from the amazing food and friendly staff, this is the reason I keep coming back - because I know my money is going back to local farmers. Today's Tastings included: Drinks: Lychee-Hoo Pete's Lemonade* The 17th Fairway Appetizers: Roasted Squash Ravioli Garlic Truffle Oil Fries* Entree's: Hamakua Mushroom Pizza* Lava Rubbed Ahi with Tossed Salad Desserts: Strawberry Pie* Feb. Special: Sweet Potato Haupia Pie* *Favorites of the Night I'm not one to visit the same restaurant multiple times, but the fact that this place: a.) sources locally b.) has an amazing happy hour c.) has a wonderful staff d.) is located in a beautiful complex like SALT e.) has garlic truffle fries (LOL. this is honestly my favorite dish ever. I could probably eat six of them).
