and a Tojo sauce. Then we dined on the Scallop Truffleyaki which was torched and lacquered. A Saka steamed Kona Abalone was presented with Emoki Mushrooms, green Garlic butter and a Bacon Dashi. My highlight was the Singaporean Chili Lobster Tail garnished with Lemon grass,Coriander and a Kalei Egg. Next, a bowl of Japengo Bouillabaisse was a creation of refined aromatic spiced Kaffir Lime broth swimming with Alaskan Crab, fresh island Fish and Chinese flowering Cabbage. One of the marquee dishes on the Japengo menu is the LOCO “FOIE GRAS” MOCO which is Japengo’s gourmet take on the Island’s plate lunch. It combined Hawaiian ranchers three oz. Filet Mignon, a two oz Foie Gras, Quail Egg and a special Hamakua Mushroom Rice covered with Bourdelaise sauce. A far cry of inspiration from the World Famous Rainbow Drive-In’s original version of Hamburger Patties covered in brown gravy topped with a fried Egg on a paper plate with Rice and Macaroni Salad. For dessert, the Tiramisu was an island favorite of Kona Coffee, Mascarpone and lady fingers. We sneaked in a fresh Coconut Brulee, as well for dessert.
