Bitches Who Brunch

I have been wanting to go to Morimoto Waikiki for months now.  You know Chef Morimoto from Iron Chef America on the Food Network, right?  That's how I knew about him.  I've heard wonderful things about his hip, new restaurant in Waikiki and yesterday I finally went.

Let it be known that yesterday, April 10, 2011, was the first official meeting of the Bitches Who Brunch (BWB)!  I came up with the clever name while trying to help coordinate a reunion for the "work girls", both current and former office mates.  At 11 a.m., we graced Morimoto with our presence and began chatting and sipping Bloody Marys and Haupia (coconut) Coladas immediately.  I can't tell you what we talked about, because it's against girl rules.  In girl world, there are lots of rules: you can only wear jeans or track pants on Friday, you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week...  Let's get down to it, the food.

I had "Tuna Pizza" with olives, anchovy aioli, and jalapenos, yeah right!  The ahi tuna was fresh (yes, raw) and so delicious.  The sauce had quite a zing to it!  The cilantro was a nice, cool flavor in the mix.  Overall, it was a perfect amount of food for a lunch, not too much food that made me want to sleep for the rest of the day!

My "Tuna Pizza"


This delicious Lobster Melt with Miso Mayo and Swiss Cheese was ordered by half of our table!  My generous friends shared with me and it was fantastic.  Those are wasabi french fries and housemade pickles on the side.


Erica, who is known for her healthy food choices, got the Braised Black Cod Lunch Set, which included Miso Soup and Rice.  


Here we are, the Bitches Who Brunch :)  Well, that's 6 of us, there are many more bitches where we come from!


Overall I loved the restaurant!  We had most of the lanai (balcony) to ourselves and it was a perfect Sunday "brunch", although it was really lunch, with the girls.  I'd love to go back for dinner and dessert, since nobody wanted any at lunch!  I did, but didn't want to be the fatty who says "Give ME a dessert menu!"
