To all the Hukilau people,

My wife And I who both worked at the Mai Kai in the '70s and '80s, I as a musician and my wife a waitress, went to the Mai Kai last to enjoy Molokai/happy hour, appetizers and dinner/show.
Everything was wonderful, especially the barrels.
Kern(manager) came into Molokai to say "Hello".
Maître d’ Angel Vega( Also from the '70s, who has worked his way up from waiter to seating captain and now maître d’) took good care of us(Tonga -front row-center table).
After the show we spent some time talking to Fika and Fles, both who are remainders from the '70s.
Molokai appetizers,chicken coriander and pork tenderloin, were excellent as were the barrels.
Dinner, I had the orange beef, which I had them add some Szechuan heat to, and my wife had the Szechuan beef. Both excellent, but watch out for those innocent looking peppers, they're killer. Thank goodness I had my barrel.
We passed on dessert, decided to share another barrel.
All in all it was a great evening.
THE MAI KAI IS READY FOR YOU!!!
Aloha nui loa,

P.S. - We met a couple(Brian and his wife,from the Hershey Penn. area) in Molokai who are down for Hukilau 2010. Very nice people. We enjoyed talking over our drinks and apps.
