Grand Opening! Crackin' Kitchen - Pasadena

Crackin' Kitchen is now open in Pasadena. I was here for pre-opening tasting. The menu was developed by Michelin-starred chef Takeshi Omae. Unique and playful, this Hawaiian-Cajun concept brings dining to a whole new level. Using locally sourced ingredients for its signature sauces.

Here's the tasting menu I had

Housemade sodas, watermelon / ginger / guava.

I also tried passion fruit but ginger was the best. 

Seafood platter - Oysters / ahi poke / shrimp cocktails / lomi lomi salmon / crab

Everything was really tasty, but crab was super good!

Guava soy chicken wings

Chowder fries 

Hawaiian beers!

Portobello mussel pots - I like this pot better than Thai pot.

Ultimate combo - A must try signature dish

From left to right:

Red - crackin' kitchen cajun, using Hawaiian chili

White - Maui onion based, lemon butter

Black - Hawaiian cacao and cracked black pepper

I liked red but I think I like white the best.

And here's the signature Sweet Art dessert

The server will draw at the table
