Kitchen Cabinet wiring issue

Hey all,

Been coming here for years and getting lots of great advice. However I finally had to register because Google wasn't being good to me today. Luckily my scenario is fairly simple. I posted a picture of the kitchen remodel below to help explain things.
MY wife is helping me to spend all of my money on this dang remodel so I'm trying to (at least) do the electrical work. Everything is pretty straight forward for me except for what I'm supposed to do for running wire out to the end of the L-shaped counter-top as show in the picture. Basically from my limited understanding of the NEC code, I need to have an outlet at the edge of the peninsula counter-top since it's more than 24" inches from the wall. The L-shape part of the counter-top is about 52 inches from the wall if it matters.

It' not hard to run some electrical wire (Romex?) through the inside of the cabinets but I don't know if that's legal or not. Quite simply two questions...
1) Do I really need an electrical outlet out the cabinet where the yellow arrow is pointing?
2) How do I do it legally to comply with code.

I never do anything half-arse so I definitely would appreciate some advice on how to do it the right away Thanks!
