FORC (Farmer Ocean Rancher Cook) Restaurant opened up in Waimea earlier this year, and I couldn't wait to give it a try.
The menu offerings feature a lot of locally-sourced ingredients, and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and thoughtful presentations.
 |
| Ho`i`o Salad |
I love Ho`i`o salads, and this common local salad was very traditional in flavors.
 |
Pickled Vegetables
|
 |
| Fresh Baked Portuguese Bread with Bone Marrow Butter |
If you love carbs, get the Portuguese Bread and don't skip on the Bone Marrow Butter!
 |
| Tomato Salad |
The Tomato Salad was refreshing, with a Li Hing Mui vinaigrette. This dish is a nod to Chef Alan Wong, whom FORC Chef and Owner, Allen Hess, used to work for.
 |
| Garlic Fried Rice |
The Garlic Fried Rice was very tasty. I could definitely eat this alone as a mini meal!
 |
| Goat Tacos |
 |
| Smoked Meat and Onions |
When I ordered Smoked Meat and Onions, I pictured the typical plate of sliced smoked pork and onions. However, an entire pork chop and and onion was presented - what a fun play on words!
I'm not a huge pork chop fan, but I loved how tender and juicy the pork was.
 |
| Ali`i Mushroom Poke |
The Mushroom Poke is a must for those who don't eat raw fish, and especially for those who love mushrooms!
 |
| Portuguese Steamed Clams |
The Clams were absolutely delish, and that broth was so amazing (tip: dip the Portuguese Bread in the broth - so yummy!).
 |
| Liliko`i Crunch Cake |
The dessert options were limited, but the Liliko`i Crunch Cake was good.
I highly recommend paying FORC a visit for a delicious meal.
Thank you, Chef Allen, for the hospitality!
