Beyond the humble plate lunch and the greasy pupu platter lies a vast and varied world of Hawaiian cuisine, its eclectic influences the source of inspiration for Oahu native and ex-Prospect chef Ravi Kapur. Born as a pop-up, Liholiho Yacht Club has grown into a permanent Tendernob location, with a vibrant menu that spans from tuna poke to duck-liver toasts with pickled pineapple to fried Cornish game hen, glistening in a tamari-honey glaze. Kapur plucks freely from farmers’ markets, but the flavors of his cooking, inflected with kimchi, nori, and curry, speak to the far-flung currents that wash across the islands where the chef was raised.
