During our honeymoon in Maui we stayed at the incredible Andaz Resort and Spa, and our absolute favorite meal of the entire trip was conveniently located on site at the acclaimed Ka’ana Kitchen. According to their menu, Ka’ana means ‘to share,’ which is a very big part of traditional Hawaiian culture, and obviously a big influence on the Ka’ana Kitchen dinning experience. Serving up a handpicked selection of the best Maui has to offer, Ka’ana Kitchen stands out from your run-of-the-mill dinning experience, allowing you a taste of whatever you desire in a family-style setting. Their menu is completely farm-to-table, offering selections from local farmers, foragers and locavores, as well as procuring many of their ingredients from their own Ka’ana Farm. The carefully crafted menu is based upon seasonal ingredients, so it rotates frequently, but if you happen to stumble upon the Lobster Ceviche, do yourself a favor and order it. You will not regret it.
Now, why am I telling you about this particular dish some 3,000 miles away? Because my husband and I have been back home for just shy of three weeks today, and I am still, STILL hearing about the incredible Lobster Ceviche at Ka’ana Kitchen. I am pretty sure Ben would eat it every single day if the opportunity presented itself, but unfortunately for him, it isn’t looking likely. Next best thing that’s a little more wallet friendly? This easy to make, incredibly fresh Healthy Shrimp Ceviche.
