Why Larb Thai-Isan deserves a mention in Michelin Guide!

July 6, 2026 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Larb Thai-Isan is a Michelin Guide recommended restaurant 2 years running! I can see why! 

You feel like you’re in Thailand!

It’s the kind of restaurant my husband and I adore. Full of personality, not too big, reminiscent of cafes in Asia. 

Decor

They made use of cheerful beer boxes, posters and popular, colorful enamel dishes. Cheers to Tuk Tuk, a great way to travel in Asia. 

Tuk Tuk, best form of transportation

Tip for Getting In

We didn’t have to wait in line cause it was after lunch hours. So, just know if you can go outside of lunch or dinner hours, you can get a table easily.

Khao Soi, real deal from Chiangmai

We only ordered Khao Soi and Mango Sticky Rice because we were on our way to another event. But definitely will return to try other dishes. 

Tender Beef, al denté noodles topped with crispy noodles!

WHAT TO ORDER?

Khao Soi was excellent & loved how they served with little condiments and chili sauce if you need more heat! It’s a lovely coconut curry based soup with noodles and beef topped with crispy noodles. Ha, ha, their menu claims it’s the real deal from Chiangmai! It had the right consistency & texture. The flavors were spot on and brought back great childhood memories of Thai food. 

Mango Sticky Rice

MUST ORDER DESSERT

Of course, we couldn’t leave without ordering Mango Sticky Rice. It was rather a small portion but enough for us to end our lovely dining experience at Larb Thai-Isan. 

View this post on Instagram for some nice videos!

A well deserved Michelin Guide mention. 

We also went to its sister restaurant, Gai Chicken Kitchen, so watch out for that review soon!

Magical Indonesian French Dinner: 20th Wok Star Supper Club hosted by Wayan Miami

April 24, 2026 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

It was the most magical supper club last Sunday at Wayan Miami!

Starting with a Welcome Sangria cocktail, followed by my introduction of Chef and owner, Cedric Vongerichten. His dad is famous chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

Chef Cedric Vongerichten did an outstanding job accommodating all my requests like changing the order of the 10 dish Tasting Menu and asking him to give a talk about sambals (spicy chili paste). He was amazing and ended up introducing 3 sambals in a beautiful wooden dish that housed a woven basket for Krupuk (shrimp crackers)! See photo.

Chef also surprised us with an extra dish at the end of a 10-dish Tasting! Their most popular Lobster Noodles. I took it off the menu cause I wanted to give people a reason to return and order that dish. Well, many said they would return to just have that dish, so it worked out.

Sambals
Turmeric Tonic

Sambals

Here’s what Chef Cedric wrote…

Sambal bule: Tomat and chili

Sambal hijau: Green chili

Sambal Spicy kecap: Sweet soy with aromats 

In my opinion.  Sambal isn’t a garnis, it’s the last move. It cuts through, lifts, and elevates a dish. It’s exciting. 

Dishing out sambals!

Here’s my Recap from the dinner!
