Palikao catered our son's bar mitzvah luncheon last weekend for about 120 guests in Pasadena, and Lionel's (owner/head chef) brilliant flavors and presentation far exceeded our wildest dreams. Lionel worked with us on a vegetarian menu (because of the temple's Kosher rules) and he came up with a menu that was so gorgeous, unique and delicious that we had multiple guests come tell us it was the best catered meal they'd ever had. His combination of French, middle eastern and Mediterranean flavors made the meal so special. His eggplant and beat salad were refreshing. The baby potato salad with harissa lemon cilantro sauce was filling, and with the right balance of citrus and spice. The fruit platter was the most gorgeous display I'd ever seen. The shakshuka with quail eggs was brilliant. And the deserts...were out of this world. The malabi pudding was a surprise, I'd never eaten it before and it was incredible. The tiramisu was undoubtedly the best tiramisu I've ever eaten in my life. Lastly, Lionel and his team were just so wonderful. If was kind of by fate that we were introduced to him and Palikao, and his kindness, graciousness and sweetness made our special event even more spectacular.
