Eighty new food selections will tickle the palate of Saipan food aficionados when Caf\u00e9 at the Park unveils its new menu next week.<\/p>\n
This New Year change at the Caf\u00e9 is being masterminded by new executive chef Roger Li, who will bring to this popular hangout his 12 years of culinary experience. <\/p>\n
The new chef promises not only a delectable array of food, but also an enticing food presentation.<\/p>\n
Li, no stranger to the culinary world, began his career in Guangzhou, China, in 1993 at the Ramada Pearl Hotel. He moved to the shores of the CNMI in 1998 as the chef de parti\u00e9 of Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino. He held that position until 2001 when he opted to become chef de parti\u00e9 at the Hyatt Regency Saipan. <\/p>\n
He moved to Caf\u00e9 at the Park on Dec. 17, 2005. \u201cI wanted to move forward,\u201d said Li. <\/p>\n
He said his style of cooking is eclectic, with the end goal of delighting, surprising, and satisfying his customers.<\/p>\n
Couture Marketing\u2019s Andy Tidwell said the new menu will feature some great and exciting changes, with the Caf\u00e9 providing Saipan an array of food choices that would range from the lighter fare to heavier signature dishes like the Grilled Hanger Steak or one of many pasta dishes. <\/p>\n
The appetizer menu has been expanded to include one of Li\u2019s favorite dishes: Caf\u00e9 Honey Mayonnaise Shrimp, which are honey-glazed tiger prawns tossed in sesame seeds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m quite excited to be at Caf\u00e9 at the Park. It\u2019s great to be in an environment where I can develop a menu that is both delicious and a great art form. I pride myself on presentation,\u201d said Li. \u201cMy philosophy about food is that it should be fresh and healthy. I only use natural and fresh ingredients in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caf\u00e9 at the Park is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Average entr\u00e9e prices are $12 and their daily lunch special includes the soup or salad of the day, an entr\u00e9e, dessert, and bottomless iced tea for $12.95. <\/p>\n
Dinner is served daily and a selection of beer, wines, and champagnes are available. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou may also bring your own wine if you prefer,\u201d said Li. Corkage fee is only $2.50 per person per bottle. For reservations call Caf\u00e9 at the Park at 233-1010. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
