Happy Fourth of July, Ono readers!I hope all of you are having a won-derful holiday weekend, enjoying

time with family and friends in our beauti-ful 50th state. Whether you're firing up thebarbecue or soaking up the sun on thebeach, one thing's for sure, fireworks willbe a flyin’ as we gather together to cele-brate our nation's independence. What I love most about this holiday

is the lovely food (I know, surprise,surprise ...)! A plethora of hot dogs,hamburgers, chicken wings and barbe-cue ribs tempt my palate, along withfresh salads, of course (have to keep awell-balanced diet, as I'm sure my doc-

tor is reading).So, this week, in

preparation for all thehefty eating I’ll bedoing this weekend, Idecided to get a headstart and discoverthe manyIndependence Daydelights that some ofthe best “Ono, YouKnow” establish-ments are whipping

up. You'll be seeing stars — and stripes— with every bite. I promise you, thefood is incredible!

Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch & CrabHaving made a name for himself as one

of Hawaii’s top celebrity chefs, Sam Choyhas a multitude of signature dishes thatare readily available at his self-titledrestaurant on North Nimitz Highway.“We have visitors who dine here from

all over the world, as well as many locals,”says general manager Jeffrey Gaspar. And while the poke at Sam Choy’s

Breakfast, Lunch & Crab is to die for, it’smost definitely the Onolicious Rack ofRibs ($29.95) that has me drooling. Keepin mind this full rack of ribs is not for thefaint of heart. Sam's famous char siu

glazed baby back ribs ARE unparalleledand if you're crazy about ribs, I guaranteeyou will experience love at first bite.“Our ribs are first marinated in garlic

and soy sauce and then baked in theoven, before it's taken to the grill andglazed with our famous char siu glaze,”Gaspar explains.Now, I’ve feasted on a countless num-

ber of baby back ribs in my lifetime, how-ever, it’s the unique and utterly deliciouschar siu glaze that makes the OnoliciousRack of Ribs rate over the top. The secretto this savory glaze is found in a captivat-ing blend of five spice, hoi sin sauce,shoyu and honey. To complete the dish,the ribs are then garnished with dicedgreen onions and coconut flakes, andserved atop a bed of mixed vegetablesand your choice of starch, be it rice,mashed potatoes or fries.For those with lighter appetites, you

may want to chomp into the half rack ofSam’s Onolicious Rack of Ribs ($15.95).Served as an appetizer portion, the spot-light shines on the ribs and ribs alone.So, what are you waiting for? Roll up yoursleeves, grab your fork and knife, dig inand be ready for a full-on kanack attack!

As your neighborhood one-stop shop for

all of your wants and needs, McCully

Shopping Center caters to just about

everyone. This month, the center will mark

its 25th anniversary and the Fourth of July

with a special annual promotion titled “A

World of Cuisines.” The 35,290-square-foot

complex offers a one-of-a-kind culinary

experience for locals and tourists alike,

with a wide selection of ethnic restaurants

all in one setting, such as Vietnamese, Thai,

Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, local

plate lunches and fast food establishments.

Dining Out recently caught up with McCully

Shopping Center’s marketing director Terri

Hansen over a spread of entrees exquisitely

prepared by top-notch chefs from the cen-

ter's many restaurants, where we explored

the many facets of culinary magic that

spans all continents and cultures.

DO: McCully Shopping Center was found-

ed in August 1986, and throughout the

years has served as an integral gathering

place in our community, wouldn’t you

agree?Hansen: Yes, when the shopping center

came into fruition the concept was to serv-

ice the community. We have various servic-

es here that cater to nails, hair, makeup,

waxing, body boarding, etc. We’re not just

restaurants, although restaurants eventual-

ly began opening one after the other — and

we’ve always kind of been known for our

many restaurants. All of them are top-grade

restaurants where customers frequent over

and over again. Our restaurants here basi-

cally offer any cuisine that you can think of

and it’s not hard to appease everyone.

DO: “A World of

Cuisines” is cele-

brated throughout

the month of July

and is an anniver-

sary celebration for

the shopping cen-

ter. What can peo-

ple expect?

Hansen: Well,

McCully Shopping

Center is a hub for

what we call “A

World of Cuisines,”

a variety of differ-

ent restaurants to

service you from all

over the world. We

want to entice your

taste buds by trav-

eling the world with

our many restaurant selections, including

Curry House, Fook Yuen, So Gong Dong,

Regal Diner, Phuket Thai, Yotteko-Ya (one of

the best ramen you'll find in the state),

Banana Leaf Pasta Cafe, Bistro Ah Un, Taco

Bell, Pho 777 and our newest addition, Hot

Pot Heaven, where you can order anything

from a Thai broth, to a Hawaiian broth, to a

vegan broth.

DO: There’s also going to be a prize draw-

ing for an amazing trip as part of this pro-

motion. Can you elaborate on this?

Hansen: This is a promotion that we’ve

been doing for the past six years, and every

year McCully Shopping Center sends a

lucky winner and his/her companion some-

where around the world. This year we’re

sending two lucky winners to Las Vegas.

DO: Wow, that's exciting! There’s defi-nitely a melting pot of flavors at the many

restaurants here. Can you give an exampleof the specific entrees that some of theserestaurants are known for?

Hansen: For starters, Banana Leaf PastaCafe is known for its Italian food, specifi-cally its Seafood Risotto ($14.95), anItalian-style rice simmered with shrimps,mussels, clams and calamari in tomatosauce or a light cream sauce. Fook YuenSeafood Restaurant offers up Live MaineLobster ($10.99) in four different styles:garlic and butter sauce, ginger and greenonions, black bean sauce or with salt andpepper. Yellow Curry with Shrimp($11.95), Red Curry, Green Curry and

Peanut Curry Sauce can all be found atPhuket Thai Restaurant. So Gong DongKorean Restaurant features a greatSeafood Pancake ($13.95) with seafood,squid, onion, carrots, green onions andegg. So Gong Dong also is known for itsBibimbap ($15.95) and Soondubu TofuSoup ($8.25). Six to seven side dishes areincluded with every order as well. As forCoco Ichibanya Curry House, it’s knownfor its Chicken Katsu Curry with Cheese($7.96). Finally, Beef Pho with beansprouts ($7.99) is a must-have at Pho 777.

DO: Hawaii is well known for its exoticblend of cultures. Do you believe this ishighly represented in McCully ShoppingCenter's variety of food establishments?

Hansen: Yes. I want to say there’s notanother place on the island that has asmany restaurants as we do in such closeproximity of each other. I mean, literally,you can go out one door and into anotherrestaurant. Not only are we a world ofcuisines, but most importantly, we’re con-venient — we have ample parking down-stairs in our basement — and we're herejust to service the community. We alsohave a few more eateries, such as Coffeeor Tea and Snow Factory, which also arequite popular.

DO: Do you think it’s the restaurantsthat draw in the majority of your cus-tomers to McCully Shopping Center?

Hansen: Oh yes, our restaurants defi-nitely draw in the majority of our cus-tomers. Without the restaurants, I thinkthe center would have a totally differentlook and feel to it. We cater to everyone —locals and tourists, and we've gotten a biginflux of college students since theUniversity of Hawaii is just down the roadas well. And the diversity of customersfrom UH really helps with the ethnic flairhere.

and includes hot vegetables in place of macaroni salad when ordered in thedine-in restaurant.

The deal gets even sweeter as, with each purchase of the boneless chicken,diners will receive an entry form for a chance to win a host of prizes inZippy’s Back to School giveaway. Two grand-prize winners will take home anApple MacBook computer, and five winners per week will receive a $200 giftcard from Office Max and a $50 gift card from Hawaiian Island Creations.

So where does Zippy’s get the inspiration for its tasty menu offerings?According to Charlene Kim,the restaurant’s administra-tive director, suggestionsfor new items come fromcustomers, employees andproduct vendors, and arepassed on to research anddevelopment chef WayneKomamura and the menuplanning committee. Aftersamples are created, theyare tested and tweakeduntil being deemed readyfor the menu. “It’s reallyneat,” says Kim of theprocess. “(Komamura) willcome up with a lot of ideasfor items that aren’t on ourstandard menu. The itemsalso are designed to be pre-pared and served easily byour staff.”

As part of Zippy’s continu-ing health and wellness ini-tiative, the restaurant isserving up two new saladchoices available 24 hours aday through August in thedine-in restaurant only. TheTeriyaki Beef Salad ($9.95) includes strips of broiled teriyaki beef topping a bedof Nalo greens with grape tomatoes, cucumber medallions and chopped eggserved with Zippy’s house dressing. The Apple Pop Salad ($8.75) includes Nalogreens, apple slices, grape tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and kettle corn pop-corn served with a zesty lilikoi vinaigrette dressing. The latter creation is the

brainchild of Zippy’s Kahala Restaurant cook TrevorLuke and former employee Brandon Lee who won asalad making challenge at a recent employee picnic.

“We came up with (the challenge) as part of ourhealth and wellness initiative,” Kim says. “One of theprizes was putting the winning salad on the menu andintroducing it to the public. Chef Alan Wong was thecelebrity judge, and he called the salad ‘refreshing and really

creative.’ The combinationreally sold the judges.”

Luke, who was trained atthe Kapiolani CommunityCollege Culinary ArtsProgram, got the idea forthe unique salad combina-tion while flipping throughone of his many culinarybooks. “I read that lilikoiand champagne vinegar goreally well together,” hesays of the salad’s tangydressing. “Then, I threw insome li hing powder, andadded the popcorn as acrunchy element. It all justcame together and itworks really well.”

Just in time for theIndependence Day holi-day, Zippy’s has anotherspecial worthy of fanfare.The BBQ Smoked TurkeyDrumsticks ($10.95)includes two large drum-sticks tossed in a tangybarbecue sauce, and isavailable now through

July 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the dine-in restaurant only. The drum-sticks come with hot vegetables and a choice of white or brown rice, mashedpotatoes or french fries.

Stop by one of Zippy’s 24 Oahu locations, many of which are open daily,and enjoy the old favorite’s new and delicious offerings.

order of the day

W ith a uniquely deco-rated interior, varietyof menu items and

revamped daily specials, SamChoy’s Breakfast, Lunch & Craboffers a dining experience that’sunlike any other, according to gen-eral manager Jeffrey Gaspar.

“The uniqueness of the interior orthe structure of the restaurant (makes

us different),”Gaspar says. “We

have a boatthat’s insidethe restaurant— Sam used itfor fishing

before. Also,Sam’s cui-

sine (makes us different) — his foodhas that local flair. What he’s done isincorporate that local flair style intohis menu.”

The local flair that’s infused intoChoy’s cooking truly captures theessence of the eatery and caters toisland residents.

“The mission or vision for therestaurant is to portray the Alohaspirit with great food and service,”he says. “The food is good for thelocal style cuisine, which incorpo-rates families. It’s a family-typeenvironment restaurant.”

With that in mind, it’s no wonderthat some of the most populardishes on the restaurant’s break-fast, brunch, lunch and dinnermenus have a distinct local flavor.Among the most requested appe-tizers Golden Fried Calamari($10.95), Sam’s Original Fried Poke($10.95) — wok-seared marinatedisland fish with furikake — andSteamed Manila Clams ($13.95),served in a ginger miso pestobroth. Lunch favorites includeFried Poke Salad ($14.95) — mixedgreens and somen noodles coveredwith Sam’s famous fried poke —and “Da Hilo Original” Loco Moco

($12.95), a local-style homemadehamburger patty served with riceand topped with sautéed onions,two farm fresh eggs and Sam’sbrown gravy. Popular dinnerentrees include Kalbi MarinatedButterfish ($29.95); Crab & ShrimpLouie Salad ($23.95), featuring Nalogreens, somen noodles, egg,cucumber and tomato topped withcrab and shrimp salad as well asking crab; and the Crab meatStuffed Island Fish ($27.95), whichis baked with Choy’s famous shi-itake mushroom cream sauce.

Instead of having a signaturedish, Choy’s shiitake mushroomcream sauce is the eatery’s signa-ture sauce, according to Gaspar.

“He’s (Choy’s) known for his shi-itake mushroom cream sauce,” hesays. “He’ll use it on a couple of hisdishes on the menu, such as theMacadamia Nut Crusted Chicken($19.95), and people love it.”

The restaurant also is knownfor its desserts, which have theirown menu.

“We do our own in-housedesserts,” Gaspar says.“Everybody always heads towardthe banana bread pudding, pineap-ple cheesecake or key lime pie.”

Throughout his career at SamChoy’s, Gaspar has seen the menuchange periodically. Several of thenewest menu items include the

Check out the entertainment insert every Friday to help plan your weekend.

Shabu shabu is a warriors’ meal,dating back to its creation in the13th century. Concocted by

Mongolian emperor Genghis Khan,shabu shabu (as it is called today) wasa quick, efficient and nutritious way tofeed Khan’s army regime while in com-bat.Now, thankfully, we

may all enjoy a shabushabu meal — withoutthe pressures of anintruding army marchingupon us — particularly atHanaki in ManoaMarketplace. Hanakioffers a variety of brothsfrom which your shabushabu dish shall begin.“We have mild soups

like our kunbo, we alsohave our miso soup andour Hanaki soup, which isa clear base,” says Hanaki generalmanager Mark Mitsuyoshi. “TheHanaki base works great for seafood,but I like to cook pork loin and vegeta-bles in it, and it comes out real good.”Shabu shabu turns heartier as you

delicately cook your own meats andseafood in your chosen broth. Thereare plenty of selections to choosefrom, including thinly sliced prime ribor pork loin, ground beef to be dipped,shrimp, sliced squid, baby octopus,clams, salmon and misoyaki teriyaki

butterfish. For a vegetable accou-trement, Mitsuyoshi suggests the shi-itake mushrooms or the steamed cab-bage rolls.You may also try one of Hankai’s fla-

vorful dipping sauces after you havecooked your meats or vegetables inthe seasoned broth.

“We have about a dozen differentdipping sauces you can create. Wealso have a house sauce we made up.You can also create your own with ourchili pepper, garlic or ginger flavors orjust have plain shoyu,” Mitsuyoshiadds.As an a la carte menu item the shabu

shabu at Hanaki varies in price by theselections you choose, but most of themeats and seafoods cost between $4and $5. Vegetables and noodles arepriced between $2.50 and $3.

Mini Garden is offering cus-tomers a major deal thissummer — 20 percent off

all takeout orders (excluding vege-tarian dishes, which will be offeredat 10 percent off), as well as 10 per-cent off all dine-in meals.“We are doing this because the

economy is really bad right now,”

explains owner Yinnie Chiu. “Theportions are big, and it’s cheaperthan if you were to cook (thesemeals) at home, and there’s morevariety for you to choose.”There are around 250 items on the

menu, but Chiu says a few of therestaurant’s top sellers are the ChefSpecial Crispy Shrimp Balls ($14.50),Braised Brisket and Tendon withBean Curd ($12.95), and Mini

Garden’s Best Quality Roast Duck($8.95) and Char Siu ($8.95).Perfect as a light summer meal or

savory treat-to-share before the maincourse arrives, the Crispy ShrimpBalls are eight whole shrimps thathave been battered and deep-frieduntil golden and slightly crunchy onthe outside yet still sweet and juicyon the inside.For the Braised Brisket and

Tendon with Bean Curd casserole,Chiu says they slow-cook the brisket

and tendon for more than fivehours, leaving the meatextremely soft and tender.They also use fresh bean curd,which lends a richer flavor notachieved from using the driedvariety.But possibly the best-kept

secret of Mini Garden is theRoast Duck and Char Siu,which are both prepared freshevery day with a special blendof seasonings and roasted sothat the meat comes out hot,crispy and full of flavor.“Our duck is real famous

because not too many placesroast their own duck,” Chiusays.Since dining is family-style at

Mini Garden, the portions aregenerous and meant to be

shared. Even then, Chiu says some-times diners will be unable to finishtheir meals and take home the left-overs for another day.

3 Best Quality RoastDuck ($14.95, half duck)


Mini Garden has along-standing rep-utation among

local foodie circles asbeing one of the best Chinese restaurants onthe island. Since opening in Chinatown in1973, the family-style eatery has suppliedhungry diners with a range of authenticChinese and vegetarian cuisine, from CrispySpring Rolls and Gau Gee ($7.50 each), toOng Choy with Bean Curd Sauce ($8.95), MaPo Tofu ($9.50), Shrimp Fu Yung ($9.95), GonLo Mein ($8.95) and a smattering of congee,fried rice and noodle dishes.“It’s healthy Chinese food,” says owner

Yinnie Chiu, who, along with her sister, hasbeen in charge of operations since 1997.“We use very little sodium and no MSG

upon request.”In 2005 Mini Garden moved to a space at

2065 S. Beretania St., which left some customerswary that the food they had grown to love may havebeen left behind.

“We carried all our original recipes with us,” Chuiassures. “The won ton, the roast duck and the char siuare the same recipes that have been around forever.”However, there are a few new items not to be dis-

missed. For example, they recently started offeringcustomers a complimentary dessert with each meal.

“In Hong Kong, every Chinese restaurant will offerdessert,” says Chiu, who moved from the city-stateto Hawaii in 1978.Called a “float,” the free after-meal treat is similar

to a sorbet and comes topped with choice of freshstrawberries, mango, lychee or guava.“This will complete your meal,” says Chiu.

“Something sweet to clear your palate and coolyou off ... A lot of customers come back just forthe dessert!”

would spend hours pursuingthe perfect ahi, aku and bottomfish. Specializing in the freshestof seafoods, this popular localestablishment opened itsdoors in July 2007 at theWaterfront at Pier 38.“This is a restaurant that

reminds people of all thoseuncles in their lives,” says man-ager Sean Simpson. “We have alot of family photos on the wallshere, and actually the owner,Bruce Johnson, is my uncle.”According to Simpson, all fish

comes directly to the restau-rant from the auction block.“We get fresh fish from the

auction block six days aweek,” he says. What’s on yourplate was caught that morning.”Geoffrey Arakawa has been serving

as executive chef at Uncle’s FishMarket & Grill since its inception. Ahighly requested and favored item offthe menu is the Parmesan Crusted

Mahi Mahi ($19.95) with caramelizedonions, roasted garlic, cream cheeseand real king crab meat sauce.Uncle’s Fresh Opakapaka ($23.95)sauteed and topped with a butter gar-lic caper sauce and Uncle’s Garlic Ahi($17.95), sauteed and topped with

green chili and capers, and driz-zled with Uncle’s mid spicy soysauce and green onions also areconsidered favorites amonglocals and tourists alike.For the non-seafood eater,

don’t be discouraged, Uncle’sBackyard BBQ Chicken($15.95) and U.S. Choice NewYork Striploin ($19.95) areequally delicious.“Sushi is available Thursday

through Sunday nights, and weshowcase both fusion and classiccreations. It’s a big hit that manypeople come for.” Simpson adds.

upon Dining Out as an advertising tabloid, but insteadactually looks forward to reading it every Sunday forinformation as to what’s being featured at variousrestaurants in Hawaii. If you operate a restaurant in

Hawaii, Dining Out is extremely effective in gettingthe word out about your restaurant and your specials.
