We now have unofficial confirmation that the Obamas will soon be inviting a dim sum chef to take up residence in the White House.
HONOLULU — Here are some of the places President Obama eats when he's in Hawaii.
Indigo: 1121 Nuuanu Ave., Honolulu
Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's sister, who lives in Honolulu, has said Indigo is one of her brother's favourite spots. Indigo is a hotspot in Chinatown, popular with everyone from locals like Kelsey Grammer to Honolulu's political and business power players. This "island fusion" eatery features a fresh and eclectic menu by chef Glenn Chu that matches the urban, Eurasian decor.
Greg Johnson, Indigo's vice president of operations, said when the Obamas visited in August, they started with the dim sum plate (US$14), which includes goat cheese won tons, lumpia-wrapped shrimp (similar to eggrolls) and duck mu shu rolls.

Rick,
ReplyDeleteWhen we honeymooned in Hawaii in 2001, we ate at Indigo, for the simple fact that the Lonely Planet Hawaii guidebook we were using said that it was the best spot in Honolulu for dim sum. I still recommend it to anybody I know going to Honolulu. We shared that very same dim sum plate (not with the Obamas, as you might imagine).
