HAPPY (CHINESE) NEW YEAR!: Alice Yeung, left, co-owner of Panya Bistro, welcomed G-Dog, Jodie Luke and Kawika Kanae to the first Panya "Full Moon Party" on Wednesday. Yeung and her sister, Annie, plan to present a different theme party each month at their Ala Moana restaurant, and the first one -- "Year of the Rooster," naturally -- got off to a good start. It was almost an overflow turnout, but the party never felt congested, the clientele was well mannered and the buffet was the perfect final touch. Alice and Annie will have something different for March. In the meantime, G-Dog and the Stone Groove Family are introducing a new "Bitchen' Kitchen" party at Sam Choy's Diamond Head restaurant on Thursday.
