Hyatt's Ham to Go makes Easter easier
Would you rather hunt for Easter eggs than hunt for dinner ingredients? Then color your Eastertide celebration with the Hyatt Regency Waikiki's Ham to Go spread.
Starting tomorrow, order a complete Easter ham dinner for four to six. The menu features a six- to seven-pound honey-glazed ham with pineapple-raisin sauce. Side dishes include corn chowder, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams, green beans with almonds, rolls with butter, cucumber namasu and apple pie.
Call 923-1234 daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., through April 6. Cost is $64.95 plus tax. Pickup is Sunday, April 7, in front of the hotel - before or after the Easter egg hunt.
