Liliha Bakery is popular for its local comfort food and desserts like Coco Puffs, poi mochi donuts and Chantilly cakes. The bakery recently added new dishes to its menu; the dishes are available at all Liliha Bakery locations.
The eatery’s new eggs Benedict ($21.50) includes two poached eggs with ham topped with Hollandaise sauce over house-baked corn bread, and is served with fried potatoes. Since this entree is part of Liliha Bakery’s breakfast menu, it’s only available until 11 a.m.
“Inspired by customer requests, our eggs Benedict is served with our housemade cornbread, creating the perfect sweet and savory balance in every bite,” says Angela Choi, vice president of Yummy Restaurant Group (the bakery's parent company). “At Liliha Bakery, we are always looking for ways to bring fresh flavors to our breakfast menu, while honoring our local favorites.”
Speaking of local favorites — the roast pork loco moco takes this Hawaiʻi staple to the next level. The savory dish features roast pork, two eggs, and gravy over fried rice.
“Our roast pork loco moco with fried rice offers a playful spin on the beloved local classic, featuring tender roast pork and our signature gravy — perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner,” Choi says.
Both new entrees come with the eatery’s signature butter roll and jelly.
The chicken Milanese presents a nice balance of indulgence and light. The pan-fried crispy chicken is served with lemony strawberry arugula salad, housemade champagne vinaigrette, and Liliha Bakery’s famous butter roll.
The pan-fried chicken is crispy but light, and the accompanying arugula salad is refreshing, thanks to the vinaigrette.
Liliha Bakery also introduced new pastries, including regular ($3.95) and chocolate almond ($4.25) Kouign Amanns; berries and cream cheese croissants ($6.95); green tea croissants ($3.89); and cream cheese danishes ($3.89).
The Kouign Amann is slightly crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and we’re partial to the chocolate almond flavor.
The bakery’s fresh banana Chantilly cake ($32.95) is also a more recent addition to the line-up of refrigerated cakes and pies. It features the bakery’s signature Chantilly cake frosting, but also includes fresh layers of sliced bananas and fresh bananas on top.
This dessert give a fresh, fruity twist to a beloved bakery staple — the generous amount of banana slices balance the richness from the luscious, velvety layers of Chantilly.
