Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's day at Roy's - founded by award winning Chef Roy Yamaguchi, Roy’s is world-famous for its innovative Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine. I had been a few years ago at their location in Maui as well as the one here in Chicago. I was able to have their Hawaiian Ono which was amazing and Roy’s Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé is to die for! It is a flourless chocolate cake with a hot, molten center; served with raspberry coulis and vanilla ice cream.

This the Upside Down Pineapple Cake. Both of the dessert's take 20 minutes so you must order them when they take your dinner order.

Here is the recipe:
