P PalmtreePat Tiki Socialite Los Angeles, CA Joined: Oct 07, 2014 Posts: 360	P PalmtreePat Posted posted on Mon, Jul 9, 2018 10:53 AM Rainmakers and pupus at the Tonga Room after an afternoon admiring the tropical flora in the conservatory. I tried their Jet Pilot too, but I must admit that HH's Mai Kai Jet Pilot is the last word in that family of drinks as far as I'm concerned. No beating it. Then a "Shang Hai Mai Tai" in the bar above China Live while we waited for our table. I tend to shy away from any "Mai Tai" that doesn't specifically cite Trader Vic or the year 1944 as their recipe, but this one was okay. It's sort of a hybrid between an actual Mai Tai and Vic's Eastern Sour: scotch, rum, lime, and orgeat.

It's a nice place. The bar is pretty ritzy looking and the food is good. I didn't take pictures but they had some dishes that would be perfectly at home on an old DtB menu. The Kung Pao there is a nontraditional take made with big belts of some kind of sweet, fruity dried chile that you can just pop in your mouth rather than the super hot little peppers, and their xiao long bao and sheng jian bao are also really good.

Brilliant, thanks for the tips! When I am up in that part of town I go to old faves and the exterior of China Live has always been underwhelming to me so it'll be nice to try out something new.

The winner, by a nose: Wray & Nephew. It's a little more complex and mixes better in a Daiquiri. Rum Fire and Rum Bar not far behind.
