While it'll certainly take a bite out of the pocketbook, Aulani dining does sound very intriguing.:eating:

Even with the Hawaii inflation in prices I was hoping Aulani would be comparable to disney park prices. But wow. Add another 25%! Hope the food is good quality at least.

Some of the reported check prices after dining at Ama Ama (?) has left me in shock. $200 for a couple has been mentioned one than once. I think we'll try it, but we might find ourselves eating in the villa more. And dining off property as even the prices of a hamburger at the pool bar were high.

This quote from the article...

such as the “Japanese Influence” with Peking duck salad with scallion pancake


:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Millions of ancestors are rolling in their graves. Peking = Bejing, and it's sort of the capital, and remains a part of, China.

Which isn't Japanese.

Now this, miso-glazed shutome (swordfish) with jasmine rice and mochi ice cream with green tea cookies, which was listed after the above, could be fairly called Japanese inspired.

It's like calling a paella Italian-inspired. :oweye: It strikes my funny bone, but it's still wrong. ;)
