La Palme D'Or patisserie is located on the Macys end of Ala Moana mall next to a barbershop. The…read morestore is quite small and got packed with people as we were in there. They have beautiful displays of fancy desserts and on shelves cookies and Madeleines. I picked a few fruity desserts to try macarons, lemon tart, mango pudding, tropical fromage. I wanted to get their fruit tart but the fruit on top looked dry and not as pretty and glossy. My favorite was the tropical fromage which was light and airy with a really nice fruit flavor. The mango panna cotta was my second favorite which included the mango bits on top - a nice touch - and the cream nice and rich. Lemon tart had an odd taste to it. Should have went with the mush peach tart that didn't look as appetizing but probably better. The macarons were my least favorite especially the yuzu and passion fruit flavors that didn't taste anything like those fruits. For $2.50 I wish they were better and not as dry. I am glad I tried them but the prices were a bit much for me.

Such a gorgeous gorgeous cafe!!…read more Side note: It is two businesses in one shop. Cafe Lapin and CakeM. The drinks were not only good but look beautiful too! The fruit tart I had was not too sweet either which is perfect! Plenty of fruits, cream, and tart pastry ratio. 10/10 spectacular! The vibes here were also so calming. Great place to study or just chat with friends. There's a few seatings indoor but a lot more outside.

Restrooms are located outside and you need a code. There is valet parking, or you can attempt street or walmart if you are daring. We ordered a mini strawberry cake and a slice of chocolate cake, along with a tiramisu cup. Total for 3 desserts $28 and change. They may look small, but they are filling and not too sweet. Strawberry: excellent light fluffy sponge, sweet strawberries, and whipped cream 10/10 Tiramisu: chocolate forward, wish there was more coffee flavoring, sponge on the bottom was super saturated, and a little gritty. 5/10 Chocolate cake: Beautiful, fluffy looking but actually dense sponge. Good chocolate flavor, not too sweet. 4/10 The woman working was nice, the young man with her, not so much.

I was introduced to Epi-Ya when a coworker brought in their custard pie. I'm not ashamed to confess…read morethat I ate half of the pie over the course of two days. If it's in the shared fridge, it's fair game. Their custard pie is on the top of my list (followed by the custard pies from Napoleon and then Liliha). A basic staple that they also do a great job on is the bread. I really did not understand the hype of Japanese bread until I tried the bread at Epi-Ya. Their other pastries are just as good. They have a much larger variety than Brug and Okayama Kobo. The space is also larger and brighter than the other places.

But yesterday was the first time I bought their cake and man the Black Forest Cake was so delicious and not overly sweet per my in laws.

I've been a fan of their original location since opening, but haven't gotten to try this one until…read morerecently. It originally opened as more of an Indian street food restaurant, but have since expanded to other dishes. It's a casual and convenient opening in 808 Center if you're nearby, on the first floor along the street. They have two tables outside and more inside, it's a simple place. They have a varied menu of Indian street foods like momo, roti, and dosa, plus curries, other breads, drinks, and rice dishes. We tried mostly vegetarian items like cauliflower in yellow curry, a daal dish, and veggie mom. The food is flavorful, curries include jasmine rice. Prices are reasonable for the size. It's worth stopping in if you're a fan of Indian food, or looking for something new and flavorful to try.

Kulu Kulu is a small bakery located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. I noticed it…read morewhen I was eating malasadas one morning and saw a small girl carrying around the cutest slice of rainbow cake. I was too full at the moment to order more food, but I returned on my last evening in Oahu to order a slice of rainbow cake for myself. It was somewhat early in the evening -- probably around 6PM or so -- so the Royal Hawaiian Center food court was getting a little busy but there were still empty tables around. The bakery itself had a few people in line so I perused the display case for other desserts. They had quite a few interesting ones: lilikoi basque cheesecake, Diamond Head puff custard, ube cake. Unfortunately, my appetite is much smaller than it once was, but the cakes looked delicious and the people in front of me all ordered their cakes ahead of time, so they are quite in demand! The cashier took my order quickly and I was able to get a slice of rainbow cake, which had fluffy cream and moist layers of colorful cake. The flavor reminded me of fruity pebbles, but without being overly sweet the way children's cereal used to be. I really liked eating it because it didn't make me feel guilty eating a dessert. I hope I can return to Kulu Kulu sometime and try their other desserts a well!

I have been to their downtown location before. They pretty much sell the same items. I got a slice of rainbow cake $7.99, pastel de nata $4.69 and pain au chocolat $4.79. The rainbow cake was awesome. I could actually taste the different flavors for the different colored layers. The frosting was more of a whipped cream, so it wasn't overly sweet. The pastel de nata was a Portuguese egg tart. The crust was flaky, but the egg custard was so sweet. They overdid it with the sugar. The pain au chocolat was a chocolate danish. It was good, but didn't really stand out. They also sell drinks (coffee, tea, smoothies) and sandwiches. The workers were really polite and helpful.

Parking is a little challenging as it is with many places in Hawaii but my friend dropped me off and I ran in quickly. The male standing at the register was on his phone and barely acknowledged me while I stood at the counter...seriously!

She made up for the other worker's lack of service :-)

I'm always pleased with the food here, I have yet to be disappointed. It's a little pricey with an…read moreaverage of $30-32 a plate, but I find the portions to be generous and the flavors impressive. If you like seafood, I think you'll be satisfied. The ahi sashimi salad, steamed fish, smoked salmon sandwich, and salmon spaghetti are just a few of my favorites. The sashimi in the salad is super fresh, and the steamed fish is huge and sits on a bed of tofu, topped with a ginger shoyu sauce that goes so great with rice. I like that you can choose from a selection of quality bread for the sandwiches - can't go wrong with the smoked salmon but I love the club sandwich as well. I was amazed at how much flavor is in the salmon spaghetti, plus they don't skimp on the salmon pieces here. The clam chowder and Russian borscht soups are good too. The best part is that there are probably 70+ more menu items I haven't even tried yet. The Thai steak salad, seafood laksa, green curry, and oxtail stew are next on the hit list. Service is okay. Typical busy establishment - I tend to come during the high peak lunch hour. The food can be slow at times, but it's worth it. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The patio is the quieter option but I usually sit inside where the a/c is. They validate parking which marks them up yet another notch. I recommend making reservations since they can get busy, especially around lunch.

I wonder if ownership knows that they regularly refuse takeout orders and their online ordering…read moresystem is always down. They seem to be turning away revenue all the time (this actually has been happening for years). Anyway, on the odd chance I can actually get through to someone here, and they agree to take my order, the Thai steak salad is the best on the island. I would get it more if they actually answered the phone, and when they do actually accepted my order.

My sister has been urging me to come here. We decided to eat here last night, and it was…read moredelightful. We each did the four-course option. Menu A was $45 each. Personally, I thought it was a steal. For three people, four courses, it came out to $159 without tip. I highly recommend tipping. With only one person serving everyone and cashing everyone out, she did amazing. I had the cream of corn as my first course. It was absolutely delicious with a nice touch of heat. My second course was the baked oysters. I would honestly rate this the lowest of all four courses I had, around a 6. Very fresh. My third course, the entree, was the Seafood Brioche. The sauce was delicious! A very nice variety of seafood. I found myself surprisingly full by the time dessert came. I had the Azuki Bean Haupia and ordered the Le Café as an extra. These were so good. The tables and chairs are seated right outside the cafe (still within the building), the desserts situated inside the cafe. It's a very relaxing vibe. I would definitely come here again. Tiny pyramid, the setting, the food, I think it brings to mind the words, Casual Elegance.

I had high hopes for Tiny Pyramid because most bakeries ive been to has always been amazing…read more However it was a bit of a let down. Tiny Pyramid is also a restaurant so I decided to have lunch here. I ordered the House Pizza (spicy) and the blend of all the flavors didn't really blend well. It was also quite oily and not spicy at all even though it's mentioned as spicy. I also ordered the green curry. It was wayyy to watery to be a curry and the shape of the rice being a pyramid is cute but its portion is so small, it left my friend hungry. Once again it was also too oily. As for the pastries, the citrus tart was a let down. The filling was not a cream of sort but GELATIN. I've never had a tart like this before and im disappointed that I did. One that I did like was their signature chocolate pyramid, their signature pastry of course. Just like some of the reviews, the service was average. The staffs do take awhile to connect with you for whatever reason but when they do they are friendly.
