What's for Dinner - Chapter 4

Re: What's for Dinner - Chapter 4

What were some of the best things you tried there? Lucky you!

I should mention it wasn't a buffet style; rather, order off the menu...anything! I ordered the petite filet and lobster. Melt in the mouth delicious. I had a bite of another guest's scallops, kampachi, roasted beet salad...a mini family style dinner!

Of the 6 dinner guests, 2 celebrate August birthdays. Our table was treated to an entire cake...an unbelievable indulgence that's not on the menu. That was followed by the Bali's traditional chocolate Diamond Head complete with a "lava flow" effect (dry ice) and rimmed in chocolate truffles.

It was an evening of pure, unadulterated, gastronomical sinning! HEAVEN!

Nothing exciting tonite. Just some Chicken long rice.

That sounds great!! Lucky you to have such generous and fun friends to
celebrate with! Thanks for answering! I'm glad to hear it was wonderful as some have posted (in food forums) that the service and food have greatly slipped recently. Great that you had such a good time!

shoots! my salmon didn't defrost in time for dinner (had it in the refrigerator since last night). so i had to think quick. made stroganoff with the leftover sam's chicken. added onions, mushrooms, zucchini and parsley. mom loved it. but, okay, enough chicken already.

I have yet to dine at the Bali when the service and food haven't been exemplary. It's my favorite dining experience in Honolulu altho' it's pricey so I, maybe, dine there 3 times a year. It's always reserved for special occasions and usually with visiting mainland friends and family. The restaurant is top notch, imnsho!

I've just heard that from people who were disappointed that Adam Hightower
left to relocate back to the mainland. It's those food forums you know

That certainly beats my last week's salmon experience. Took it out of the freezer in the morning and placed it in a colander in the sink to defrost with the intention of putting it in the fridge after a couple of hours. Got called to a last minute, unexpected meeting, went to the grocery store while I was out and about, got home and didn't revisit the kitchen 'til after 5p. By then the salmon was room temp for God only knows how long. I'm not a risk taker. The salmon found it's way to the trash chute.

Tonight's special @ Spots: low-carb steamed mahi.

One scoop each of mac salad & rice with the steamed mahi under a bed of minced ginger / green onion & over a bed of udon, all soaking in sesame oil and shoyu. The udon was a total surprise.

Palama Mama had the teriburger with fries - she ate half. Second half is midnight snack for me. No like waste food. Call it a late dinner.
