Hot Hawaiian Night: President Cooks up a Delicious Hawaiian Feast
Club Vertical Volleyball, LLC (CVV) president & CEO Alfred Agcaoili joined several families for a weekend of good food, music, and company to cook a feast of island favorites from his native home State of Hawaii.
A Hawaiian Dinner was one of several featured auction items at a recent Club-wide fundraiser with Joe and Patti Martineau as the lucky winners.
The gathering was at the beautiful St. Louis, Mo. home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martineau. They were joined by Mike and LeAnne Haverstick; Richard and Linda Hagemann; Brad and Lynn Herman; and Mark and Kathi Hoyer.
The five-course dinner for twelve featured a menu of local island favorites. Agcaoili, a native of Hawaii and a former restaurant manager of sports pub and award-winning fine dining establishments, cooked the feast.
Menu items included Appetizers: Deep Fried Won Ton with Sweet Sour Guava sauce, Crisp Gau Gee (pronounced gow-GEE); Main course: Aloha Shoyu Chicken, Kalua Pork, Chicken Long Rice, Pacific Island Pancit (pronounced pawn-SIT), Steamed Rice with Nori Komi Furikake (pronounced no-REE koh-ME foo-ree-KA-kee); and Dessert: Kona Coffee Crème Brulee and Haupia (pronounced how-PEE-uh) - a Hawaiian coconut pudding.
Wine selections were from the Robert Mondavi Collection and Cheteau Bucastel du Pape Blanc.
The evening was capped off with families enjoying a night of laughter and fun.
