In case anyone is curious about Maki Maki, the "lost appetizer" served at the anniversary party on Dec. 28, here's my review ...

Like the Trader Vic's original, this version known as Maki Maki consists of water chestnuts and pieces of chicken liver wrapped in bacon. I'd prefer the bacon a little crispier, but that's just my preference. It was served with the usual three sauces that come with most of The Mai-Kai's appetizers: A sweet duck, a spicy mustard and a savory barbecue. The latter seemed to compliment the Maki Maki the best. The liver was a little dry, but the overall dish was a nice accompaniment to the evening's tropical cocktails.
