What a Teas
What: Moana Surfrider executive chef Ryan Loo just revamped The Veranda's entire afternoon tea menu to include unique scrumptious bites like a goat cheese gougere, or savory pastry puff, filled with prosciutto, red onion and arugula, and a chili garlic chicken and pork pate sandwich garnished with slivers of pickled hearts of palm, papaya and radish. For the sweet tooth: start with the buttery crisp macadamia nut nougatine cookie in the new dessert offerings.
