A few months ago, I had brunch at Mariposa in Neiman Marcus at Ala Moana Shopping Center. They served us an amuse bouche of a single shrimp on avocado mash and a citrus fruit sauce. I liked the presentation. I don’t like shrimp so I gave it to Kiyo, but I did eat the avocado.
They also serve a small cup of their broth, which is a strange concept, but really delicious. Broth is actually trendy right now, with an entire establishment devoted to it in New York City.
I ordered my favorite brunch dish: eggs Benedict. I had it with spinach and either speck or prosciutto (I can’t remember, and their brunch menu isn’t online). It was nothing incredible but it was a solid classic dish. It was served with the perfect side portions of fruit and fingerling potatoes.
