Happy Chinese New Year to all. I believe that it is now the year of the Boar.
China Town in Honolulu was packed on New Year's Eve yesterday. Had dinner at Legend Chinese Restaurant in the Cultural Plaza. The food was excellent, though with the huge crowds, service was very slow. (Dinner took almost 3 hours!) The Kahuku Prawns were like mini lobster's full of juicy meat. The veggie dish was Choi Sum. Legend does a mean Baked Oyster on the Half Shell with Portuguese sauce (a dish from Macao I believe). The Winter Melon soup was terrific with ham, chicken, dried scallops, crab, & mushrooms. Everyone had multiple servings of this. New to our celebrations this year was a char sui style pork ribs with a tempura style sea scallops wrapped in bacon. The final dish before dessert was the Yin-Yang Fried rice with tomato & cream sauce which was very tasty. Dessert consisted of coconut flake coated Haupia balls. (Don't know the Chinese name for it). Finally, there was tapioca soup type dish. Legend continues to be one of the best places for quality Chinese food in Honolulu.
