Thanksgiving in Honolulu 2013
- The Kahala Hotel and Resort
- Hoku’s Thanksgiving Day brunch
This brunch buffet takes the word smorgasbord to heart. First, there’s the seafood bar featuring lobster, oysters on the half shell, crab claws, ahi sashimi, poke and more. Since it’s Thanksgiving, you have to save room for turkey and mashed potatoes. There are also made-to-order omelets from the omelet bar. For dessert, choose from pumpkin or pecan pie (how about both?), sweet potato tarts, the hotel’s famous bread pudding and an assortment of sweets to dip into the chocolate fountain. Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of time left in the day for a nap.
$85 for adults, $42.50 for children ages 6 to 12. Call 739-8760 for reservations.- Hoku’s Thanksgiving week dinner
If you’re more of a Thanksgiving traditionalist, minus the actual cooking and cleaning, and the possible awkward family conversations, opt for a five-course prix fixe dinner at Hoku’s. Dinner kicks off with an amuse bouche of apple cider with vanilla and bourbon. Then it’s an upscale take on green bean and French onion casserole with a haricot vert salad with crispy confit turkey and cippolini onions. The second course is a sweet potato wrapped shrimp with ginger, coconut and wasabi. The main course is sous vide turkey breast served with creamed corn, braised Waimanalo greens, and cornbread stuffing. The meals finishes with a caramelized pineapple tart made with dark rum cremeux and candied macadamia nuts.
$90 per person, $30 additional for wine pairings. Call 739-8760 for reservations.- Plumeria Beach House Thanksgiving Day Brunch
If you want an ocean view with your brunch, head to Plumeria Beach House. There’s a seafood bar, an omelet bar, a French toast bar, as well as the traditional Thanksgiving Day fixings and dessert.
