Last night Kiki and I met her family at Kapiolani Community College for an all-you-can-eat crabfest. The crabfest was put on by the Ala Moana Rotary Club and the Kapiolani Community College's Ka `Ikena Staff.
I've never been to a crabfest before and wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Let me tell you, the food was good, but the best part was crackin open the crab and rippen it apart! They also served side dishes like clam chowder, edamame, corn on the cob, salad, and potatoes. The Ka `Ikena staff did a great job preparing the food and the Rotarians kept walking around with clean trays to pick up the shells we had discarded.
In addition to the crab, there was a silent and live auction with some pretty incredible stuff, for example they auctioned of a set of Nike Sasquatch drivers, watches, a week-long stay in an Irish cottage, really expensive wines, and a beautiful Hawaiian quilt valued at $3000!
They had entertainment by the a local band and performances by some of the contestents for the Ms. Hawaii pagent. The most exciting part of the night would have to be the moment in time where I lost an intense battle with a crab (#2 of 5) and ended up puncturing my right palm with a nasty gash.
Hopefully, they make good a promise to have a clam bake/lobster fest next year! aaaahhhh...
