MW Restaurant Afternoon Tea (Oahu)-- Revisited.

10/21/2016

MW Honolulu Oahu (Afternoon Tea) Savory items.
Savory items for this month's afternoon tea. Tea set also included fresh mixed berry scone with Yuzu Curd (not shown).

​Last trip, our MW Restaurant server said to us "see you next month!"

​Well, it's finally a month later and another girl's afternoon out.
(Don't worry if you're a guy, I saw quite a number of male customers during tea time).  

[List of Savory items above-- from bottom left to right]:​
  • Pork and Foie Gras Won Ton.  Deep-fried and meaty goodness!
  • Sausage, Eggs, and Rice Pork Ball.   Good, but couldn't remember much about it other than it was topped with marinara sauce and I quickly scarfed it down.
  • Jidori Chicken Lumpia.   Very interesting combination with fried Curry Leaves and Hoisin sauce.  The chicken was soft and moist, while the Lumpia was perfectly crunchy!
  • Steamed Opah Dumpling with Matsutake Broth.  ​This was my favorite.  The filling reminds me of Hong Kong-style Shrimp Dumpling.   The Matsutake really brings a delicate but earthy touch.  
  • Mixed Grain "Fried Rice."  ​ Table consensus for this was not a fan favorite.  It had what tasted similar to Chinese Black beans in multi-grain rice.  Not bad but you really have to like the ingredients to fully appreciate.
  • Stuffed Scallop Hash.  It was smothered in a delicious spicy sauce (though I will say the pepper content was quite assertive so it had a big kick).
  • Chilled Cauliflower Saffron Soup.  [Center]​  I thought it was Kabocha for a second.  Really creamy with bits of seafood.  Very refreshing.

​Since it's a re-visit, I will keep things simple.
​Both food and service is still solidly good.

​Though I do wish we had the same server as last visit
​as they were incredibly nice.
​
This visit was slightly different from all the other tea time in that we were joined
​by an Afternoon Tea virgin (wait...did I really say/ type that out loud)? 
​It's always fun to see other's first impressions when they've never
​had Afternoon Tea before.

[Desserts]

This month's dessert theme was "Kabocha" (Japanese Winter Squash).  
MW Restaurant Honolulu (Kabocha Persimmon Panna Cotta Dessert).
Kabocha Persimmon Panna Cotta + Miso Kabocha Macaron. The Panna Cotta was wonderful! There were bits of tapioca and crunchy granola. I loved everything about this dessert!

​The middle dessert (Kabocha Pie with Cinnamon Chiboust) reminds me of  Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas ​​;).

All of the desserts tasted really good this visit.

​I will no longer look at Kabocha in the same light again.
​Nevermind the fact that I probably can't hack open one myself,
​but I shall bow down to this glorious vegetable from now on.

[MW Restaurant Wines]

I didn't order wine with tea but handy to have for reference later (for dinner maybe?).

Just a page from their wine menu to give you an idea of prices by the bottle (Pinot Noir).
[Wines B-T-G]
MW Restaurant Honolulu (Wines by the glass menu).
Wines by the glass is very comparable to other mid-range/ higher end restaurants.

If you can make it to MW's Afternoon Tea (once a month, on the 3rd Sunday from 11a-3p), I highly recommend it!
​It's the only Afternoon Tea on Oahu that offers a different menu each time.

​For directions and restaurant information, please refer to my original Afternoon Tea review (from last month).
