HOOKED ON SEAFOOD Chefs lure in guests with fruits de mer

By Simplicio Paragas Photography by STEVE CZERpNIA photography By isaac arjonilla

long gone are the

days when shoppers’ dining options were simply limited to burgers, tacos and slices of pizzas. Today, restaurants at The Shops at Wailea offer a gourmet experience, luring guests in with farm-to-table-inspired dishes and a sea change of gourmet appetizers and entrees.

A favorite among locals and visitors alike since 1976, Longhi’s is well known for its iterations on Mediterranean coastal cuisine and supper-club elegance. The bestseller both day and night is the catch of the day, which is actually four different types of fresh fish prepared with delicacy and expertise. Diners in the mood for something light often look to appetizers, and many choose the famous Longhi’s artichoke, served with melted lemon-infused butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

“We’re using the best, freshest, healthiest ingredients,” explains general manager Michael Rose.

“It’s extra-virgin olive oil, it’s tomatoes, it’s whole grains, and stuff made from scratch so we know what’s going into it.”

This season, the consummate dinner could start with a classic Caprese salad, composed of authentic Buffalo mozzarella, juicy red tomatoes and sweet basil, both local and organic. For the main course, opt for the Frenchinspired seared ahi au poivre, peppercorn-encrusted yellowfin tuna that’s seared and accompanied by Hawai‘i Island Ali‘i oyster mushrooms in a puddle of green-peppercorn-garlic-and-brandy sauce. Another option, the lobster Longhi is a titan: two one-pound Maine lobsters, clams and mussels, served over a bed of linguine with a spicy marinara sauce.

SUMPTUOUS SEAFOOD (From left) Longhi’s ahi au poivre is crusted with peppercorn, then quickly seared, and served with Ali‘i oyster mushrooms bathed in a brandy sauce.

“What we provide is more than just a great meal but a great experience overall.”

“In Hawai‘i, this fish is known as kale kale,” Pali explains. “It is mild in flavor, and its texture is moist and flaky when prepared right.”

Another fruit-de-mer specialty here is the seared ahi katsu, which is wrapped in nori (seaweed) and then simply breaded with flour, egg and panko.

Lightly fried to a medium-rare temperature, the ahi is then sliced and served with sushi rice, tsukemono (pickled vegetables), and drizzled with a homemade spicy mayo-and-soy glaze.

“I want people to realize we take the food just as serious as [the designers] take the clothing line,” said Tommy Bahama culinary director Don Donley in an interview with FSR Magazine. “We make everything from scratch; we work hard at staying current with the trends … And, we’re really serious about what we do and who we are.”

Executive chef Daniel Bader shares the same passion in the kitchen at Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

“Our menus are built on family-style dining,” Rose says. “We don’t have side plate or splitting charges … none of that stuff matters. We really encourage people to share! Bob [Longhi]’s philosophy is, why should we tell you when you’re hungry and what you should eat?”

The same questions apply when dining at Tommy Bahama. The name itself evokes visions of the relaxed island lifestyle, which includes tropical flavors and fresh local fish. Executive sous chef John Pali explains that the menu is “coastal-inspired American cuisine with an emphasis on seafood.”

The epitome of this concept can be seen with the crispy fried whole local snapper, which is heaped with stir-fried seasonal vegetables from local vendors, and topped with a sweet-and-spicy sesame soy glaze.

OCEAN DELIGHTS (From left) Ruth’s Chris seafood tower offers an impressive amount of fruits de mer and is meant to be shared. Tommy Bahama’s Ko‘ala mahimahi is served on a bed of quinoa succotash and sprinkled with Meyer lemon vinaigrette.

A consummate professional, Bader goes to great lengths to ensure every steak that comes out of the 1,800-degree oven is done to perfection.

“It has to be medium rare,” Bader says. “I think our service and the quality of our steaks sets us apart from other restaurants.”

World renowned for its U.S.D.A. Prime beef and fine dining ambiance, Ruth’s Chris serves up a memorable experience for discerning tastes. Start with the seafood tower, a cornucopia of Maine lobster, king crab legs and knuckles, colossal lump crab meat and jumbo cocktail shrimp, all served with Sriracha-lime seafood sauce and classic cocktail sauce. Or, try the signature sizzlin’ blue crab cakes, served with a lip-puckering lemon-butter sauce.

Aside from premium cuts of beef, other entree options include lamb chops, three chops cut extra thick and served with fresh mint; pan-roasted Chilean sea bass with citrus-coconut butter; stuffed chicken breast and a vegetarian plate. In the mood for a combo? It’s hard to beat the petite filet and

shrimp, two four-ounce medallions topped with succulent jumbo shrimp.

“I encourage people to try us out,” Bader says.

“What we provide is more than just a great meal but a great experience overall.”

HOPS AND GRINDS Crafting a new culinary movement

By Simplicio Paragas

The s ho ps at Wa ilea

Like fashion, culinary trends come and go. Some endure, others are forgotten—remember “molecular gastronomy?” However, one trend seems to be enduring and even gaining momentum: the gastropub. It’s no coincidence that the sprout of the American gastropub mirrors the rise in America’s interest in craft breweries. Across the mainland, gastropubs have established themselves at such top dining destinations as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. And now it’s come to Wailea.

Just over a year old, The Pint & Cork has quickly established a reputation for its gastropub fare, offering such pub-defining dishes as homemade sausages, grilled octopus and a charcuterie board.

“The restaurant has elements of fine dining, craft beers and craft cocktails,” explains The Pint & Cork’s managing partner Scott Pacer. “But we also air sports so I guess you could consider us a ‘sports’ gastropub.”

Like most gastropub fare, the food here is hearty, comforting and meaty. The “Bib” burger, for example, is layered with white cheddar, bacon, charred onions, tomato, arugula and a fried egg for good measure. “Shared Plates” are meant for just that—sharing. Grilled lamb chops, deviled eggs Rockefeller and hand-cut fries sprinkled with Parmesan cheese are all intended for communal dining.

“We’re four friends who wanted a perfect place that anyone would want to go to,” says Pacer, referring to the intent behind The Pint & Cork. “I think we’ve established that, given the number of regulars we now have.”

While not a gastropub, Cheeseburger Grille & Tap Room does meet certain criteria that are gastropubesque, especially in the Tap Room, where one can order a pint of Aloha Spirit Blond Ale, Hana Hou Hefe, 808 Pale Ale, English Brown Ale, Skinny Jeans IPA and the Jalapeño Mouth.

“We’re not a gastropub, we’re a tap room,” asserts general manager Kris Galon. “And the handmade craft beer we get from Waikïkï Brewing Company is exclusive to Wailea.”

HEARTY FARE (From left) The Pint & Cork’s version of squid lū‘au includes grilled octopus with lomi lomi salad. Cheeseburger Grille & Tap Room’s “Five-Napkin” cheeseburger weighs a half pound and is stacked with tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cheese.

Also exclusive to the Cheeseburger brand is the signature “Five-Napkin” burger, billed as a “Cheeseburger with an attitude.” Prepared with 100 percent fresh Black Angus beef from Harris Ranch Meats, the juicy half-pound patty is slathered with Thousand Island dressing, lettuce, tomato and onions, all sandwiched between a salt-and-pepper bun and topped with a slice of Colby Jack.

“You might even need more than five napkins,” Galon quips. “And, of course, you’ve got to have it with a pint of Blonde Ale.” It’s the perfect gastro pairing … even at a Tap Room.

GIVING BACK The Shops at Wailea builds platforms for Maui philanthropy

with a passion for local programs that are

truly making a difference, The Shops at Wailea is giving back in a big way by partnering with 12 Mauibased nonprofits—one each month—using its special events as an avenue of philanthropy. So each time you

By Anu Yagi attend Concerts at The Shops, Jazz at the Shops or other event, you’re aiding a good cause.

Fair Beginnings

December sees a partnership with the Friends of the Children’s Justice Center (FCJC). Targeting the social welfare of children and families who have been

traumatized by abuse and severe neglect, their threepart mission is to provide assistance to abused and neglected children in Maui, promote prevention of child abuse and neglect, and support the Children’s Justice Center of Maui.

As Executive Director Paul Tonnessen explains, “Our society tends to take punitive actions against children who are unable to process the effects of trauma in healthy ways. These children can easily become high-risk teens and adult offenders. We believe a holistic approach is more effective than a punitive one, especially when it comes to this fragile population.” With that in mind, the FCJC focuses on being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to child abuse and neglect. In the past year, they’ve provided funds for direct services to more than 900 children, distributed more then 2,500 children’s Christmas gifts, and reached 8,000 children and parents through community events.

Their programs range from emergency food and shelter to tools for school drives. As President Kari Nunokawa puts it, “In the last year, MUW partnered with 35 agencies to provide 36 nonprofit programs.

These programs then provided a total of 62,319 nonprofit services to the people of the County of Maui. Over 400 Maui keiki received over 3,063

MUW focuses their efforts on education, income and health, as research has shown that they are essential foundations to building a better life.

Marching On

March shines the spotlight on children with Imua Family Services. Imua means “to move forward,” which is what they are committed to helping children do. Since 1947, they’ve been operating with the mission

of “empowering families and their children to reach their full potential.”

They do so by providing family-centered therapeutic services for infants, toddlers and preschool children who are facing disabilities and/or challenges in their development and behavior.

According to executive director Dean Wong, they aim to cultivate “a better understanding of the extent of the problems that not only children with a crippling disease or disability have, but also those who are born premature, or have a developmental concern or delay. [They] do this through direct therapy with children, parent coaching, training and education to families and care providers.”

POETRY IN MOTION Hula dancers preserve an ancient art form

By Simplicio Paragas

38

T he sho ps at Wa ilea

centuries ago,

when gods and people shared these Islands, and time was measured by the waxing and waning of the moon, the hula was born.

The first dances were linked to Pele, goddess of volcanic fires, who made the request to her younger sister, Hi‘iaka. The Pele cycle provided the hula with a repertoire that was both religious and entertaining. Rhythmic and poetic chants (mele) combined with disciplined motion to tell stories of love and passion, anger and revenge, and loyalty and betrayal, all part of Pele’s tempestuous nature.

Hawai‘i’s history is in the oli, the chant; the mo‘olelo, stories; and in hula, dance.

poetry in motion

ONCE ENDANGERED, HULA now enjoys the support of thousands of dancers and halau from across Hawai‘i, and as far away as Japan and Germany.

While the hula was distinctively Hawaiian, it evolved from the rhythmic dances brought to Hawai‘i by settlers from the Tahitian islands. When contact between Tahiti and Hawai‘i was lost, the Hawaiian culture evolved in isolation. Hula was part of that evolution, with dancers inspired by poetic chants and paced by deep-throated, shark-skin-covered drums (pahu), gourd rattles (‘uli‘uli), slit-bamboo sticks (pu‘ili), tapping sticks (kala‘au), clapping stones (‘ili‘ili) and dogtooth anklets (kupe‘e niho‘ilio).

Dancers were trained in movements that could be performed in a wide number of storytelling formats.

Hands used sign language for ideas like love or anger, or objects like the moon, rain or a fragrant flower.

While there were rituals attached to the dance, the hula differed island-to-island, each hālau (school) influenced by the style of its kumu (teacher). Oli (chants not danced to), mele and hula were treasured possessions, passed on, generation-to-generation.

Today, there are two types of hula practiced: kahiko, or ancient hula, and auana, modern hula set to music. Hula auana is lovely, most often danced by graceful ladies in long mu‘umu‘u, and you’ll enjoy watching it throughout your Hawaiian vacation. But it’s in kahiko that the real story lies … literally.

In ancient Hawai‘i, everything was always taught through chanting and storytelling, detailing and cataloging the lineage of a people and all of the events in their personal—and collective—history.

Prior to 1820, both men and women danced hula, sometimes together and sometimes apart. Shortly after the missionaries arrived, however, neither performed it in their disapproving presence. Missing the spiritual message and mistaking the sensual for sin, the missionaries sought to repress it, nearly eliminating its practice in the process.

King Kalākaua is credited with having rescued the hula from oblivion, sponsoring performances at his coronation (1883) and birthday jubilee (1886), encouraging its practice and expanding the repertoire with new chants and dances.

Today, hundreds of hālau and thousands of dancers, including many far from Hawaiian shores, dance hula, learning not only the rhythmic and graceful movements but also its significant, spiritual and aesthetic message. A cultural treasure on the verge of being lost is now no longer endangered.
