Once a year, to celebrate our anniversary, DH and I splurge on ourselves and enjoy a wonderful brunch at Orchids at Halekulani.
It is very pricey-$55 a person (which is why we only go once a year), but it's definitely worth it. The food is sooooo good, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the customer service is beyond excellent.
There are so many different kinds of food--sushi, prime rib, salads, desserts, but each year I eat the same things.I always start off with breakfast.

I also ate lots of bacon!
I also enjoy their chicken--delicious and flavorful.
That's what usually fills my first plate--rice, bacon, potatoes, and chicken.
Then I get my second plate--a salad.
And more potatoes and bacon!

While I'm enjoying my salad and breakfast foods, DH is enjoying all kinds of other foods. Fortunately he eats almost anything, so he enjoyed everything that I don't eat, such as seafood and prime rib.
And he always hits the omelette bar.
He usually asks the chef to prepare the omelette "chef's choice"--with whatever ingredients the wants.
Of course, my favorite part of brunch is the desserts!
Surprisingly I didn't go for any of the chocolate desserts, but I love cheesecake so I had to have a piece. I believe this was a mango cheesecake, and I also ate the carrot cake. Both were DELICIOUS.
Even though I was nearly stuffed, I still had room for ice cream!
The ice cream bar offers a few flavors and a lot of toppings.

As we dined we enjoyed the beautiful views...
Diamond Head was blocked by a shade, but the views were still beautiful.
We also enjoyed beautiful music by a harpist and flutist.Here are a few more photos from the brunch.
