AMAZING
1st PUPU PLATTER
Broken Compass Tiki, Burbank
Coconut Shrimp, Tempura Spam, Ahi Tuna Poke, Aloha Dippers, Crow's Nest Deviled Eggs, Macaroni Salad. This is the only way to get the Tempura Spam (rude). My husband LOVED the Aloha Dippers.
2nd "HAPA" STYLE
Malama Pono Restaurant, Los Angeles
2 Spam Crispy Rice (sweet soy, nori aioli, scallions, togarashi) and 2 Spicy Yellowfin Tuna Crispy Rice (Ikura, pickled shallots, scallions). My fave was the Tuna and my daughter loved the Spam. Everyone was happy!

6th CREATE A SAMPLER ITALIANO

The cheese sticks are excellent and the calamari is pretty good. This picture is missing the Alfredo sauce on top of the cheese sticks. They brought it to us on the side

9th CUBAN APPETIZER SAMPLER
Mojitos, San Fernando
2 potato balls, 2 empanadas, mariquitas, and masas de puerco. I may not have loved everything that was in this, but this was a wonderful way to try and assortment of their offerings. if you're not sure what to get, this is a super cool idea.
JUST OK
10th PETIT PANIER DE GRIGNOTAGE CLASSIQUE
Hippopotamus, Paris
2 each of onion rings, calamari, chicken fingers and BBQ pork ribs. Tiny
11th VERSAILLES SAMPLER PLATE
Versailles Restaurant, Los Angeles
Generally speaking, we like getting sampler plates so that we can try a variety of the restaurant's offerings. I would not recommend this one though because they put their garlic mojo sauce on it (probably for the pork) and all of the fried food sat in the juice that was pooled in the plate. We didn't take a picture of the ham croquettes, but they were destroyed by the liquid. The dish had 2 potato balls, 2 ham croquettes, 3 fried chunks of pork and a pork tamale. I didn't give this the LOWEST markings, because maybe you can request NO SAUCE poured on the plate to save the fried food.
