If you’re looking for something unique to Honolulu, try Cha To Gelato Zen off Kapahulu! It’s a Japanese dessert bar.

Veneers and partial coverage crowns.

We had the pleasure of experiencing tortilla making followed by dinner in collaboration with and Chefs Ramon German and Wade Ueoka opened our minds to the different maiz and masa making from traditional to modern techniques. Dinner was served tapas style from both chefs with our favorites being the octopus ceviche, blue corn masa crusted Kona Kanpachi and the braised beef tongue. Chef Ueoka explained how mole sauce takes a multitude of ingredients, time and love. It was worth it! Chef Michelle, as always, surprised us with an amazing dessert platter! We were split on whether the Mexican chocolate or dulce de leche was our favorite. What an amazing experience! We even had a goodie bags and our own tortilla press to bring back home from Mercado de la Raza! We can’t wait for the next collaboration from Thank you so much for the amazing family experience!
