The
Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina's La Hiki, inspired by the Hawaiian phrase
mai ka la hiki a ka la kau ("from the rising to the setting sun"), offers guests pan-Asian cuisines for both breakfast and dinner, with an emphasis on local ingredients.
Dishes are meant to be shared family-style, and the extensive menu made it somewhat difficult for my husband and I to decide on what to order for dinner (our kids had no problems picking out what they wanted from the kids menu).
Fortunately, our server, Christopher, was very helpful in explaining the menu and offering recommendations.
After several minutes perusing the menu, we finally agreed upon a few dishes.
Before our orders arrived, we were given some Prawn Chips (thankfully they offer refills, because my kids could not stop eating them), and were treated to some Prosecco and an amuse bouche.

| Prosecco |

| Prawn Chips |
 |
| Amuse Bouche |
The amuse bouche was fantastic. Nori tempura was topped with a crab salad and sriracha aioli. It was definitely a palate pleaser!
We were told that dishes are brought out as they're ready, so we expected a staggered delivery, but all of our meals were brought to the table in a span of just a few minutes.

| Green Curry of Duck, Baby Corn, Eggplant |
 |
| Taro Fries, La Hiki Chili Sauce |
 |
| Miso Cauliflower, Garlic, Chili |
 |
| Kung Pao Chicken, Peanuts, Black Vinegar |
I absolutely loved the Kung Pao Chicken. Each morsel of chicken was tender and full of spice.
The curry was very aromatic and flavorful, and my husband ate almost the entire bowl himself.
The taro fries were not as crunchy as potato fries, but they were still delicious, especially with the accompanying chili sauce.
The cauliflower was very good. The miso flavor really shone through, and the cauliflower had a tiny bit of kick to it from the chili.
I had a taste of the Fried Rice, and it was delicious. I wanted a taste of the Noodles as well, but my middle son barely left a noodle to spare.
For dessert, two of my kids had cinnamon ice cream, one had an apple pie, and they all had a taste of what the grownups ordered.
 |
| Molten Chocolate Japanese Donut, Green Tea Ice Cream |
 |
| Grilled Pineapple Brown Butter Cake, Mango Passion Sorbet, Mango Coulis |
The brown butter cake topped with the grilled pineapple was delicious. Along with the sorbet, the dessert offered a nice contrast of textures and flavors.
The donuts were my favorite of the two desserts. The donuts oozed chocolate with each bite and were a delight. I don't normally care for green tea ice cream, but it paired perfectly with the donuts.
Service was stellar throughout dinner, and the views only added to our lovely dining experience, which ended just in time to watch the sky change hues at sunset.
