Ahoy!

Yep… I totally believe that the Hilton Hawaiian Village is ground zero for Yee’s recipes if they can not be obtained from him directly.

I mailed a letter to the address that matched Harry’s phone number on Monday, February 3rd, 2014. Since, he was hard of hearing and a bit confused, I thought that a letter might be more helpful. I included all my contact information and kept the letter pretty simple. I even used a large font size in case his vision was poor too.

I haven’t heard back from Harry since our phone conversation last week. So, hopefully this new letter gets a response. If he does write or call back, I will definitely keep everybody posted!

Also, if any member is from the Honolulu area and would like to go to the Hilton Hawaiin Village and talk with the head barman (Whoever that might be…) and attempt to get Yee's original recipes, I think we could start preserving them so that they don‘t get lost forever:

Hawaiian Eye
Blue Hawaii
Banana Daiquiri
Tropical Itch
Hawaiian Cooler
Guava Lada
Hot Buttered Okolehao
Scratch Me Lani
Hukilau
Catamaran
Diamond Head
Naughty Hula
Wahine’s Delight
Hawaiian Village Sunset (This might be two separate drinks???)

Cheers!
