It's no secret that we're long-time Kakao fans, and remain so after our trip this past November/December. They do have a new chef, but with the exception of the vegetable preparations, I find the food there to be just as good as it was before.

That said, La Playa, since Bruno purchased it, is probably better, from a food point of view. I still love the little cabana-style tables at Kakao, though. We tend to split our Orient time between the two now.
