After a day at Kaanapali beach, Cecile, Jason and I took the beach front path to Umalu Restaurant at the Hyatt which offers a relaxing and scenic dining experience with a vibrant, tropical vibe. The ambiance is quintessentially Hawaiian—airy, laid-back, and oozing with island charm.
Jason had a Mai Tai, and I had a Pacifico draft beer to accompany our meal. Jason had grilled fresh, locally sourced Mahi-Mahi fish tacos that included fresh slaw, carrots, topical salsas and a drizzle of chipotle served on a soft flower tortilla, with chips and salsa on the side. Cecile and I shared the same fish tacos along with panned-seared pork Pot Stickers with ginger and green onions accompanied by a soy-based sauce with flavors of sesame, citrus, and chili. While we ate, we were entertained by a local Hawaiian singer that sang traditional island songs.
We walked back to our accommodations at the Marriott Ocean Front Lahaina Tower Villas, by walking through the nicely appointed long corridor of the Hyatt Regency.
