For select days during the month of October, the luxurious Halekulani hotel is offering a menu inspired by Executive Chef Vikram Garg's international culinary training. “In this menu, I’m sharing my 22 years of travels around the world, distilled into culinary experiences. It speaks to my philosophy of sourcing locally and cooking globally,” says Garg. “Each dish brings back personal memories for me. For instance, the Ginger Yogurt Marinated Chicken with Mint Chutney and Kachumber Salad brings me back to my youth growing up in India, the Jamaican Jerk Spiced Pork Chops with Mango and Hearts of Palm Salsa was a favorite when I lived in the Caribbean, and the ‘Soe Galbi’ Korean-Style Beef Short Ribs with Kim Chee reminds me of my first visit to Hawaii, when a cook right here in Halekulani’s kitchen welcomed me to the hotel with a local favorite.” Offered from September 27– October 30 on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at House Without A Key.
