Obamas enjoy multi-course tasting menu By Jonathan Easley - 12/29/11 07:35 AM ET
President Obama enjoyed a five-to-seven course tasting menu Wednesday night at a dinner in Honolulu with first lady Michelle Obama and 10 friends.
The dinner at Alan Wong's restaurant in Honolulu comes as the president enjoys his annual holiday break in Hawaii, a vacation nearly cut short by the fight over taxes with Republicans in Washington.
The Obama's are regulars at Wong's restaurant—both gave head chef Wong a hug upon entering before being taken to their “traditional table,” which Wong describes as the “feng shui” seat in the house, according to the pool reports.
The Obamas were part of a group of ten, which included the president’s sister, and the party ordered off a special tasting menu – a multi-course meal designed specifically by the chef.
“The Obama party had a special 5-course tasting menu for $75 a person, $105 per person with wine pairings for each course," according to the pool report. "Highlights include "Sassey Salad" and bacon wrapped pork loin,” according to CNN’s Peter Morris, who the pool report said was at the restaurant when the president arrived.
Other diners generally didn't notice the president's arrival, the pool report said.
The Obamas spent about three hours at the restaurant before returning to their rental at around 11 p.m.
Before the dinner, Obama hit the links, spending nearly seven hours at the Ko’olau golf club with Mike Ramos, Greg Orme and long-time friend Robert Titcomb, who earlier this year plead no contest to soliciting a prostitute in Honolulu.
He likely shot in the area of 140.

Check out the views, the course is set up right against the Ko’olau Mountains. Great ocean views on a couple holes as well.
Maybe she needed a Titcomb.
The prostitute was a HE dressed as a SHE.
I am guessing he lost a minimum of a dozen balls, probably a lot more. 7 hours on any course is way too long, I played 36 holes there in less than 9 hours with a break for lunch between 18’s.
All the more reason for needing a Titcomb.
Presidents go home for vacation. Obama has no home AND no clothes.
5 hours n the golf course Christmas eve?
7 hours on the golf course yesterday? and then another 3 at dinner?
His kids see more of him in the White House than on vacation, I cannot even imagine my spouse spending so much time away from the family on a family vacation, especially on Christmas eve
he’s got a home in Chicago- odd they never go there
maybe 6 bedrooms 7 baths isn’t enough for moochelle’s posse
Actually it was an undercover cop.........
Police have been conducting undercover operations in the downtown Honolulu area after reports from general public that the area was a hotbed for prostitution.
Titcomb, 49, of Waialua, was arrested on suspicion of solicitation Monday night.
He allegedly offered money for sex near the intersection of South Street and Pohukaina Street at about 9:40 pm.
The more interesting part of the story is this...........Titcomb was a year behind Obama at Punahou High School, but did not graduate.
Very little is known about his background.
According to the Spring 2007 edition of the Punahou Bulletin, he worked as a commercial fisherman and a Northwest Airlines flight attendant.
A lot can be read into Barry hanging around with a male flight attendant. Titcombs dad was a judge in Hawaii as well.
Please,...Obummer told us not to use violent rhetoric like ‘shot’!
7 handicap here...thx for the link
Couldn't agree with you more. Part of his compensation is the use of the taxpayer supported R&R facilities at Camp David.
Anything else he wishes to indulge himself & family in, should be on his dime.
Flight attendant? Whoa! I smell the anal Mile High Club here! There is absolutely NO doubt Titcomb is a homo trying to score with a tranny. Obummer may have tried for a hole in one on that round!
Bingo!! Look at a few pics of Titcomb and you can tell he has a wide stance.
It was undercover MALE cop dressed as a WOMAN.
The pictures at the link really don’t even do the course justice. It is an awe inspiring place. I played three courses on Oahu and one on Kauai, and Ko’olau was the most memorable
toughest course I’ve played is at Rocky Point in Mexico...The Las Palomas course is brutal and get this....not one tree and no rough.....you hit the fairway or you are in the desert period....
and the weirdest part......you will NEVER find your ball
