With the start of autumn

come cooler tempera-

tures and, hopefully, an

increase in showers. And

although we should be thanking

the heavens for pleasant weather

when those rainy days and nights

come around, doesn’t the very

thought of fall showers make you

want to curl up in bed or on the

couch with a mug of hot choco-

late or a bowl of rich tomato basil

soup?

While on my way to work last

week, I experienced the first early

morning downpour that I can

remember in quite a while. Wet

and cold, I made my way into an

air-conditioned office and all I

could think of was a steaming hot

plate of curry — the spicier, the

better. Luckily for me, this week’s

assignment was indeed curry,

and I quickly warmed up at the

mere thought of this tantalizing

meal, despite dealing with the

onset of a nasty cold.

C u r r y

traces its roots back to Southeast

Asia and India. It’s believed that

the first curry dish was prepared

and cooked more than 5,000

years ago, and has more recently

become one of the fastest grow-

ing food trends worldwide. Not

only is it delicious, but foods rich

in curry powder/paste are

packed with additional health

values as well, averting cell dam-

age and other chronic ailments.

Wanting to try it all — from

Indian, to Malaysian, to Thai, to

Japanese, and of course local

curry — I scurried (well, as fast

as a sick person is able to scurry)

around for the best “Ono, You

Know” curry in town. Guess

there’s no sign of showers in the

forecast at these following estab-

lishments, because their curry is

hot, hot, hot! Amazing!

Panya Bakery, Bistro & BarOwners Annie and Alice

Yeung are committed to provid-

ing their patrons with quality

comfort food and excep-

tional service. Located in

Ala Moana Center, Panya

is a chic and intimate

restaurant, bar and bakery

serving only the finest Euro-Asian

cuisine for breakfast, lunch and

dinner. What I love about Panya is

the friendly staff and the fact that

I know I will leave feeling content.

Everything on the menu is divine.

If you want to talk curry, Panya

has a wide range of curry dishes,

including Thai Style Green Curry

served with your choice of tofu,

chicken or shrimp ($12.95-

$15.95), Japanese Curry with

beef, shrimp, pork chop, karaage,

deep-fried shrimp, deep-fried

octopus or mixed vegetables

($12.95, each additional item

costs $1.95) and Yellow

Coconut Curry Chicken fea-

turing three chicken thighs,

Portuguese sausage and pota-

to ($13.95).

Operations manager Kiana

Huang says all three are popu-

lar picks among customers.

“We make everything from

scratch and we always use

the best-quality ingredients

for all our food,” she explains.

“Besides the fresh and quality

ingredients, our homemade

secret spice and soup base

make our curry unique.”

Don’t worry if you can’t

take the heat as all curries are

made to your liking, whether

they be mild, spicy or fiery

hot. And if spicy is what

you’re after, Thai curry is the

way to go. I love a variety of

toppings, so I usually opt for the

Japanese curry. But wait — I

haven’t revealed to you what I

believe to be the superlative

choice when it comes to curry at

Panya — the Panya House

Noodle Laksa ($13.95). Laksa is a

Malaysian-style noodle dish com-

plete with shrimp, fish cake,

aburage, bean sprouts, corn, aro-

matic herbs and served withrice

noodles and yellow noodles. The

cover story

With its impressive book-linedwalls, wood paneling, antiquefurniture, Tiffany stained glass

ceiling and tuxedo-clad waiters, Hy’s SteakHouse appears to be the type of austereenvironment in which only gentlemen andtheir cigars are welcome.

Yet I’ve always found Hy’s to be one ofthe easiest and most comfortable restau-rants in Hawaii. That’s a credit to its seam-less service and the way the wait staffwork together like parts of a well-oiledmachine. But it also speaks highly to therestaurant’s unwavering consistency offood and almost-forgotten tableside prepa-rations of salads and desserts — all ofwhich make a trip to Hy’s something quiteunforgettable.

I recently sat down in the quiet warmthof the Broiler room, surrounded by booksand artwork, and chatted with longtime

general manager Robert Panter about thestaff, the style and the sense of historythat makes Hy’s one of Hawaii’s best-lovedrestaurants.

JM: As soon as one walks into Hy’s, onecan smell the kiawe wood smoke as it

seems to permeate the walls. What a reallywonderful restaurant environment this is.

RP: Yes. You know the history, ofcourse. Arthur Fishman, a Canadian, de-signed the original steak house andsourced the furniture and the mahogany

paneling , the wood molding, the chande-liers, everything you see. Most came fromPhiladelphia and Cleveland, but somecame from London, too. Can you imaginethe cost of doing something similar to-day? The glass cauldron where we cookthe steaks cost $27,000 when it was madedecades ago.

JM: I think that’s what is so specialabout coming here for dinner. Wherever itwas in the world, this restaurant would beimpressive. The fact that it’s in Hawaiimakes it so much more unusual.

Far Left: All steaks and seafood entreescome complete with vegetables, potatoes

or rice. Left: Steaks grilled over kiawewood are a feature of Hy’s.

RP: Yes. People literally walk inhere for the first time and you seetheir jaws drop. It happens all thetime.

JM: I’m wondering whereyou’d sit and what you’d eat ifyou were coming for dinnertonight?

RP: I’d sit in the broiler room,against the wall, and I’d mostlikely have fresh oysters and aporterhouse. Or maybe I’d haveour filet, because it’s so good,and the tableside Caesar. It’s hardto choose really. There’s lobsterand scallops, and shrimp, andoysters, and fresh fish, all the dif-ferent steaks, lamb, chicken. I’dsay if you were coming for thefirst time you should have asteak, maybe the lobster bisque,oysters if you like them, and defi-nitely a flambé and tablesidesalad.

JM: I love the tableside prepa-ration of the Caesar salad. It’s soold school and timeless. I’ve al-ways wondered how you man-aged to keep a consistency,especially in the salad, betweenall the different staff memberswho make it.

RP: It’s funny. We have to keepbringing them back to the recipe.Originally everyone learns thesame way, and then you find theyadapt the recipe somewhat. Sowe always ask the waiters tobring us back a small lettuce leafso that we can taste how they’redoing in order to make sure it’sstill the Hy’s recipe.

JM: Your waiters are fabulous.I have never once been here andhad to wait for anything, or had aproblem getting someone’s atten-tion.

RP: You mean you don’t haveto do the whole orangutan thingof waving your arms in the airtrying to get water?

JM: Exactly! The staff takescare of each other — at least, itseems that way.

RP: I’m glad to hear that be-cause they have so much to dobetween flambéing, tablesidepreparations and general service.We’ve all been together for a verylong time. Some 15 years, some20 years. Our bartender, Tad Lilly,has been here since before Day

One, and some of us are comingup on over 30 years. I think theystay because we try to be fair.We’re very much like a family.And I think our guests sense that.

JM: All the entrees come withpotatoes or rice and veggies, andyou have some classic dishesthat you rarely see anymore, likeChateaubriand,($47.95) BeefWellington ($43.95) and RoastRack of Lamb ($59.95).

RP: Yes, and the rack of lambnow comes in a half-rack, too, soa lot of people are enjoying that.The complete meal is somethingthat people really appreciate.

JM: You were the original finedining steak house, but nowthere are many steakhouses inWaikiki. What’s kept you competi-tive all these years?

RP: Well, most top restaurantsuse USDA prime beef, of course,but we cook ours over kiawewood and that makes a big differ-ence to the flavor. And I think it’salso because we have tablesideservice and entertainment fournights a week. Audy Kimura, forexample, has been here for more

than 20 years and we still have aproblem trying to fit in all thepeople who want to sit in his sec-tion.

JM: As for the glass cauldron,where patrons can watch chefZach Inouye grill steaks perfectlywith barely a look at them, howdoes he and the staff do that?

RP: (laughs) I know! How dothey do that? We get asked thatso much. The truth is, our guysare so good. We have a longtimeemployee, Danny Florino, whoworks alongside Zach and ourother kitchen staff, and Dannyhas been here such a long timethat he’s great at broiling. Theyhave to watch, season, turn andfeel for doneness, but I agree withyou — I don’t know how they doit so perfectly every time either!

JM: The wine list is surpris-ingly easy, too. You have glassesthat start at around $7. I alwaysfind that so reassuring, especiallyfor people who are intimidatedby impenetrable wine lists.

RP: You know, we just try tohave something so everyone iscomfortable. If you just want to

have a glass white zinfandel, thenyou can. But if you want OpusOne or a Shafer Cabernet withyour steak, then we have that,too.

JM: The thing that impressesme so much about coming here isthat you are tuxedo-clad, in an in-spiring environment, with book-lined walls, priceless antiques —there’s an original Tiffany glassceiling for goodness sake! — andyet you are neither stuffy norscary nor pretentious. You aregracious and warm and very wel-coming to everyone.

RP: Thank you. That’s cer-tainly what we talk about all thetime. How we can always wel-come people back.

lite bites what we’re eating at ...

&Beyond

Expect to see an

increase in local

products at Zippy’s

this week as the restau-

rant chain and other busi-

nesses take part in the

second annual Eat Local

campaign, sponsored by

Kanu Hawaii.

The idea behind the

campaign is to increase

awareness of our precious

farming and fishing

resources, with Kanu

Hawaii issuing a challenge

to participants to eat

locally grown food for a

week. Among the partici-

pating stores are KTA

stores on the Neighbor

Islands, Foodland and

Sack N Save, and Eat Local

restaurant partners such

as Tango, Umeke Market

and, of course, Zippy’s.

You may not realize it,

but Zippy’s already has

established valuable

resources with island

farmers, including

Waimanalo’s famous Nalo

Greens.

Nalo Greens farmer and

owner Dean Okimoto

grows a salad mix for

Zippy’s that’s used with

fresh iceberg lettuce in the

restaurant’s house salads.

The Eat Local menu at

Zippy’s will include the

Loco Moco with Nalo

Greens ($7.25), which

includes local beef, local

eggs and a side order of

Nalo Greens.

Think you’d like to take

the challenge, but feel

challenged by the idea of

executing a local dinner

every night? Don’t worry.

Foodland has a weeklong

menu plan with a print-

able shopping list.

Now what’s your

excuse?

Panya Bakery is a

restaurant with

many personalities.

Dining Out happened to

drop in and meet diners

Heather Saffrey and Tessa

Gomes, who regularly stop

in at the popular Ala

Moana-based restaurant

for breakfast, lunch, dinner

and drinks at Panya’s bar.

We found them

supremely qualified to

recommend their favorite

dishes.

Tessa Gomes:

“I would say I come

every two weeks or so for

dinner, and this is my sec-

ond time for breakfast.

“At dinner, it’s very cool.

I love their appetizers and

their noodles. The

Portobello mushroom sand-

wich is great, and I rotate

between noodles and the

sandwiches. I've always

loved the pastries, too,

especially at breakfast.

They are small enough to

have one sweet and one

savory.

“If you come for dinner,

definitely have the mush-

room sandwich.”

Heather Saffrey:

“I started to come here

quite often and now I come

two to three times a week

for coffee. I love their

Vietnamese coffee.

“I never ventured into

the restaurant area until

one night I went to the bar

for a really great, infused-

vodka martini and I discov-

ered I love their bar.

“At lunch, my favorite

dish is the shrimp sand-

wich, but there’s great qual-

ity in every thing they do

here. The Vietnamese

chicken sandwich is great,

and the noodles are won-

derful.

“I’d say come for lunch

and then you can see what

else they have to offer.”

foodie fare

Shabu Shabu BangkokMany may not be aware of this lit-

tle-known fact, but when it comes to

shabu shabu, it’s all about the sauce.

The popular hot-pot cuisine origi-

nated in the Chinese winter dish,

shuan yan rou, which was later

imported to Japan in the 19th centu-

ry and eventually throughout Asia.

In Thailand, shabu shabu (or suki-

yaki, as it is called) has become one

of the country’s healthiest cuisines.

The reason is the true simplicity of

ingredients — fresh meats, seafood,

chicken, vegetables and noodles —

which are flash-cooked in a bath of

broth. No grease, no added fat, just

pure flavor highlighted when dipped

in sauces that range from tangy and

sweet to fire-hot.

Though it’s been open for a little

more than a month, Shabu Shabu

Bangkok and its five Thai-style dip-

ping sauces have already made quite

an impression with diners. The

restaurant’s house speciality is a Red

Bean Curd sauce, made from a red

bean base and mixed with garlic. The

four other sauces are a light, mild yet

very tasty Soy Sauce with garlic; a

spicy Cilantro Lime Sauce, made with

a dash of chili pepper; the Mild

Ginger Green Onion Sauce with just a

hint of citrus; and an extra-hot Thai-

style Tom Yum Sauce.

“There are other shabu shabu

places that have all different kinds of

sauces,” says manage Theresa Youn.

“We focus on five really good sauces.”

Try any of the sauces with the meat

and vegetable combo platters.

Seafood Combo Platters cost $19.95

each and come with a selection of

scallops, clams, calamari, fish,

shrimp, shrimp wonton and fish and

shrimp cakes. Meat Combo platters

are $17.95 each and offer an assort-

ment of beef, chicken, pork, beef

balls, pork balls and pork wonton.

For vegetarians, there is a Vegetable

Combo Platter for $14.95 that

includes spinach, watercress, choy

sum, kabocha (japanese pumpkin),

carrots, broccoli, zucchini, baby

corn, tofu and mushrooms.

Choose from four broths — chick-

en, beef, vegetarian and Tom Yum, a

Thai lemongrass soup with ginger —

to cook your ingredients and enjoy.

Cost is $2 per person with free refills.

“What we’re trying to advertise is

that shabu shabu cuisine has been

around for a while. It is healthy, good,

affordable and fun to have everyone

around to cook together,” Youn says.

Shabu Shabu Bangkok also offers

ala carte dishes and welcomes BYOB,

with at $2 corkage fee.

Patisserie La Palme D’OrWhether for breakfast, lunch, din-

ner or all three meals of the day, there

are times when you just feel like eat-

ing dessert first. At La Palme D’Or,

you can freely indulge in chocolatey

pastries, rich roll cakes, creamy

panna cotta and tropical fruit tarts all

day long.

The restaurant, located within Ala

Moana Center, only uses the freshest

ingredients in its French-inspired cre-

ations, made from scratch every day

from sugar, butter and flour from Japan

to ensure you get nothing but a mouth-

ful of flavor and quality in each bite.

And what better excuse to indulge

those pastry fantasies than at a spe-

cial occasion like a birthday or wed-

ding celebration?

All it takes is some sponge cake

and whipping cream for the chefs at

La Palme D’Or to craft any design for

the guest of honor. According to

sales/store manager Hiromi Okura,

the most popular cake is a delicate

yet moist strawberry shortcake, filled

with fresh strawberries and fluffy

whipped cream made using a specific

heavy cream to “create a very

smooth-mouth feel.”

Or choose from a selection of exot-

ic cake flavors (think chocolate-green

tea cake or a tropical cheesecake),

fruit fillings and hand-crafted garnish-

es to make a one-of-a-kind creation.

Birthday cakes come in round,

square and heart shapes and range in

size from small (6 inches) to large (12-

16 inches). Wedding cakes range in

size from single to three-tiers, but

custom orders for any size and tier

number can be accommodated.

Prices start at $50 for birthday cakes,

$100 for wedding, and go up depend-

ing on size and detail.

Call at least two weeks in advance to

place your order, one month for elabo-

rate designs, and if possible bring a

picture of your ideas. Whole cakes

also are available daily and can be per-

sonalized last-minute with the addi-

tion of a customized chocolate plaque.

“The chefs create each cake with

pride and care,” says Okura. “We

hope that we can be a part of making

someone’s day an extra special day!”

La Palme D’Or also can cater the

fete with items from behind the

store’s showcase. In addition to more

than 20 varieties of pastry, there are

homemade croissant sandwiches for

those with more of a savory tooth.

Words & Photos by Jo McGarry

The first thing I ask Irene Woo, thechef/owner of Korean restaurant OrineSarangchae, is not how the business got

its name. Nor do I ask her about her ability tosashimi live fish and serve it within minutes ofleaving the tanks outside her kitchen. I don’teven ask about her incredible two tofu hot potor her addictive grilled black hog belly.

The first thing I want to know is, is she anartist?

“Yes, I am,” she says, smiling. “I am an artistand a poet.”

It doesn’t take long to realize you’re in thepresence of someone who appreciates beautywhen visiting Orine Sarangchae. Order thevegetable basket that comes as part of signa-ture-set menus and you’ll be treated to a stun-ning visual feast. In place of theusual plateful of herbs and let-tuce leaves that accompanygrilled meats, Woo’s garden bas-ket is an artfully arrangedvibrant collection of greens,many of them grown in her owngarden.

“These are spring bok choy,”she explains, tenderly moving alettuce leaf to better view thesmall, light-green, curly leavesnestled between red leaf let-tuce, fresh cilantro, greenonions, cabbage and basil.

The artistic influence iseverywhere in this tiny, hiddengem off Keeaumoku Street — in its delicatelights spun around the courtyard banyantree; in its minimalist décor; and in its quietorder of the menu and the organic beauty ofa lovingly arranged salad basket. You won’tfind bi bim bap and fried mandoo on Woo’smenu, but you will find squid and ahi poke,oysters on the half shell,live crab hot pot, spicypork, fresh-from-the tankfish and live lobster. Youmight even agree that

you’ve found the city's finest Korean food.Certainly the kim chee should be a starting

point for those who think themselves experts. Woo makes several kinds of kim chee —

including a private stash that she makes forthose customers “in the know.” It’s strong,potent, and those who seriously love kim cheeswear by it. I was almost immediately addict-ed to the remarkable freshness and lightnessof Woo’s “starter” kim chee — flash-pickledwon bok that keeps its crunch in a lightly pick-led preserve of daikon and chili pepper.

Woo describes her style of food as “to-sok,”(she spelled the word for me, but admittedshe was unsure if it was correct), a form offarm-to-table cuisine that relies heavily oninherited recipes and a continuing respect for

ancestors. A rough translation means “landinheritance,” and you need only sip a bowl ofboiling Mui Naengmyeon ($12.50) or sup herPork Belly Tofu Stew ($6.99) to taste a rareauthenticity that may very well have startedhundreds of years ago.

inside feature

The menu offers an incredible variety offood, all cooked by Woo alone. From thedivinely spiced Mung Bean Korean Pancake($4.99), to a locally influenced Mixed Platethat’s big enough for two ($9.50), to the sig-nature multi-course Sarangchae Special($99.50) that features kurobuta pork belly —a fresh vegetable basket, stir-fried spicyoctopus beef rib that easily feeds three orfour — the food of Orine Sarangchae offers arare glimpse into a world outside our localKorean comfort zone.

Yes, you’ll find Barbecue Chicken ($17.50),Fried Mandoo ($5.99) and excellent Kalbi($9.95), but go with a sense of adventure andan appetite and explore the Stir Fried LiveLobster ($34.50), Winter Kimchi Wick Saba($23.95), Pork Belly with Red Pepper PasteStew ($15.95) or multi-course menus ofassorted grilled beef, shrimp and tonguemeant for groups of four or more.

If you can, go between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.,when lunch specials offer an inexpensivetaste of dishes like kalbi, rib eye, saba, friedmandoo, noodles, soups and the wonderfulbanchan that accompanies every order. Forunder $10, you can taste dozens of dishesand peruse the menu for an evening return,where specialty dishes like fresh-from-the-tank hirame may soon be the talk of thetown. Woo’s son, Donny, a young man whoseems naturally disposed to serious conver-sation, breaks into an unbridled burst ofenthusiasm when talking about his mother’spreparation of hirame. “It’s made fresh,” hesays, of the signature dish. “Sometimes it’s

stillbreathing when it’s on the plate.”

Those who know Woo from a previousincarnation (Ducky’s in Manoa) won’t needto be convinced of her talent, and I offer sin-cere apologies to those whoenjoy the splendid calm ofthis special place for expos-ing your secret to the mass-es.

Chewing on mung beanpancake and sippingnaengmyeon, I ask Woo why,after closing Ducky’s andentering a period of quietsemi-retirement, she choseto venture to a parking lotnear Keeaumoku Street tobegin a massive renovationand start all over again.

“I love it,” she confesses.“I quit the restaurant (busi-ness) once before, but I kepton making food for my fami-ly and my friends anyway. Ijust can’t stop.’

Lucky us.

Good brew, tasty dishesmake for fine comboO

ctober has long

been associated

with beer and food.

The world’s largest beer

festival, “Oktoberfest,”

takes place in Munich

over a 16- to 18-day peri-

od, concluding in early

October, and is celebrated

around the globe as brew-

ers toast the excellence of

German beer making.

At Sam Choy’s, brewer

Dave Campbell has a

menu that features some

of his top-selling beers,

paired with dishes creat-

ed by chef Aurelio Garcia.

“Chef Aurelio Garcia

and I work together to

pair five different courses

with beers,” Campbell

says. “We offer guests

appetizers, soup, salad,

an entrée and dessert,

and each one is paired

with a brew.

“Chef and I go through

ideas and find the best

pairings for the beers. For

example, an IPA (India

Pale Ale) goes really well

with spicy foods like

South East Asian food or

Indian cuisine.

“The foods at Sam

Choy’s lend themselves

well to the flavors of the

beer, and people really

seem to enjoy the beer

dinners,” he adds.

Monsoon IndiaOpen for dinner, Monsoon India is

bursting with a storm of flavors, vibrantcolors and exotic Indian cuisine. Co-owner and chef Bigyan Kakshapati isoriginally from Nepal, and has called thekitchen his home for the past sevenyears.

“This restaurant used to be Bombay,and we just took this restaurant overabout a month ago. We also have loca-tions on Kauai and Maui,” Kakshapatisays. “I try to introduce authentic Indiancuisine wherever I go.”

Being that I haven’t had authenticIndian food in years, I was looking for-ward to the abundance of flavors andthoroughly enjoyed watching Kakshapatiprepare a feast for photographer LeahFriel and me. He even gave us a brief culi-nary history lesson.

“In earlier times there were no refriger-ators in India, so many people addedspices to preserve the food. Indian foodis typically spiced, but it’s not necessari-ly hot,” he explains.

Curry is a common term used in Indiafor any food entree with a sauce, and isusually prepared with seasonings such asginger, garlic, onion and tomato, andspices like turmeric, pepper corn, aniseseeds, cardamom, cinnamon and more.The special curries of Monsoon India areclassified into six major categories: curry(a blend of spices with a puree of tomato,onion and garlic sauce), Vindaloo (aGoan specialty curry with hot spicescooked with potatoes), Kadhai (a lightgravy of sauteed onions, tomatoes andbell peppers with spices), Koorma (currymade with onion and cream sauce withcashews and raisins), Masala (tomato andcream based sauce with a blend of herbsand spices) and Saag (chopped spinachcooked with a blend of spices). You canpersonalize each dish with vegetables,chicken, lamb, fish, shrimp, scallops orcrab, with prices ranging from $15 to $24.

I sunk my teeth into Chicken Masala

($19), Chicken Briyani ($17.95) andChicken Malai Kabab ($19.95), chickenbreast marinated with cheese, yogurt,cashew, cream and black cumin thencooked to perfection in clay oven — andan appetizer of Vegetable Samosa ($5.95),a lightly browned turnover stuffed with aspiced potato and pea filling. You can

order Biriyanis consisting of Basmati ricecooked with spices and saffron and servedwith Raita or Tandoori breads like Naan($2.95), a soft and fluffy leavened breadwith butter to accompany any curry dish.

The WillowsNirvana for the hungry awaits here at

one of my favorite buffet restaurants. With

a rotating selection of local favorites, fromsalads to your favorite Hawaiian grindslike kalua pig and poi, to a carving stationfeaturing Garlic & Hawaiian Salt-crustedPrime Rib, what’s not to love about TheWillows? But it’s the Original WillowsCurry that has undoubtedly made a namefor itself throughout the years.

“It’s probably the most recognizabledish that we serve — we serve chickenand shrimp curry,” says executive chef JayMatsukawa. “Our curry is a Willows tradi-tion because it’s been the same originalrecipe from when the restaurant firstopened.” The curry is on the sweeter side,with just the right amount of zesty spice,and is the perfect blend of coconut milk,curry powder, sugar and chicken stock.Buffet guests also can add condimentssuch as roasted peanuts, green onions,

coconut shavings, raisins and mango chut-ney to their curry for something a little dif-ferent. Don’t forget to pile on the rice and,for a treat so tempting, drizzle somesavory curry over fried haupia. The dinnerbuffet is offered daily for $34.95. The lunchbuffet is open Monday-Friday for $19.95.Banquet rooms also are available.

Bangkok ChefThere’s something about Thai cui-

sine that gets me every time. Maybe it’sthe bounty of fresh ingredients, the zestof the spices or the creamy texture ofthe coconut milk intermixed with thetasty curry that has me drooling. Thisassignment wouldn’t be complete if Ididn’t hit up my all-time favorite spot forThai curry. Mild, medium or spicy, youcan find it all here.

“All curry is usually made mediumspicy — if you want it more spicy, youcan always add on more chili powder,”says co-owner Mary Su. The PanangPork Curry, a favorite among Thainatives, is a medium spicy dish andincludes sliced pork loin, potato, kaffirlime leaves, peanut and fresh basilserved in panang curry sauce andcoconut milk. The Red Chicken Curryalso is an option for those who desire abit of heat. I have a high-tolerance forspicy foods, so the Thai Green Currywith sticky rice or brown rice continuesto be my go-to choice at Bangkok Chef,along with a lychee drink if I need a bit ofa sugar kick. If you prefer somethingmild, try the Yellow Chicken Curry. Allcurry dishes cost $5.70.

Before

Dental Implants to replace missing teeth or addretention to loose dentures have become the “HolyGrail” in Dentistry. Gone are the days when soundadjacent teeth are “cut down” to make a bridge toreplace a missing tooth or teeth. Unfortunately if itwas your “back tooth” a bridge could not be made.

Dental Implants are titanium screws that can replaceone or more missing teeth. A minimum of 4appointments over a period of 3-6 months is all that isneeded for a tooth to be replaced. Usually, an hourappointment is all that is required to place the dentalimplant, about the time it takes for a crown to beprepared. Pain and discomfort is minimal and usually lessthan that of having a tooth extracted.

Getting more retention forloose Dentures is anothertreatment with dental implantsthat provides great satisfactionto denture wearers. A minimumof two implants is all that isneeded in most cases to attach“snap in”their present denture.

At Dental Implants Hawaii we take pride in findingthe dental implant solutions for your missing teeth.Comfort, Affordability, Function, and Esthetics are ourutmost concern. Dental Implants Hawaii is located inthe Kaimuki Shopping Center, 3221 Waialae Avenue,Ste. #376, above Longs Drugs. Contact Kaimuki CenterFor Dentistry (808) 737-9032. We do dentistry too!
