Recap from Wok Star Supper Club at Ghee Wynwood

May 21, 2025 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

The Dean of FIU Hospitality & Tourism Management, Professor Michael Cheng gave me a stamp of approval at Wok Star Supper Club collab with Ghee Wynwood. He’s also a fellow Malaysian, so of course we bonded over our favorite Malaysian dishes—and the sad lack of them here in Miami. Stay tuned… we’re brewing up something at FIU!

I got so wrapped up making sure everyone was having a good time (and organizing group shots!) that I completely forgot to take videos.

One of my favorite parts of hosting these is curating the guest list—pairing like-minded folks at the table. A last-minute reservation from a hospitality finance guy ended up sitting with two chefs and an Event Producer and Wok Star! Perfect mix.

Everyone raved about the 3-course, 13-dish Tasting Menu! I shared fan favorites from 1st & 2nd course! Thank goodness my friend captured some beautiful food shots.

🥁Thanks Chef Niven & Shivani and partner Mo for wonderful collaboration.

🥁Thanks to GM Mariana and the whole team for making it go so smoothly!

🥂Thanks to Pietro Morelli sponsoring Dona Rosalba rosé! So many have begged to purchase but be patient, soon!

It meant so much to receive messages like these after…

“Such a great event! You outdid yourself, Eleanor!! The food and company were both outstanding! Great connections. Thank you again for all your hard work doing this.” — Tobie

“All of it was very good down to the desserts. We’ll be looking forward to our next meet up.” — Love, Gayle & Kirk

Nights like these remind me why I started the Wok Star Supper Club in the first place—to bring interesting people together over great food and meaningful conversation. Can’t wait to share what’s next! 🥢🥢🥢

Slow Food Miami Snail of Approval Tasting Party at Eden Roc: A Night of Delicious Bites Under the Stars

April 9, 2025 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

If you love farm-to-table dining, community vibes, and supporting the Slow Food Movement food education, the Slow Food Miami Snail of Approval Tasting Party is one event to keep on your radar.

Hosted under the stars (and a bit of wind!) at the iconic Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach, the evening brought together a curated lineup of Miami’s most talented chefs, restaurants, artisans, and purveyors—all recognized for their Slow Food movement commitment to clean, fair, and local food. The event was hosted by Chef Hinson Lau, who recently joined Eden Roc Miami Beach as their new Complex Executive Chef.

Scroll down for extra photos from the night…

Guests roamed the poolside tasting stations, sampling everything from locally-sourced small bites to craft desserts and sips. It was a celebration of food that not only tastes good—but does good, too. Love this Slow Food Movement!

Supporting the Edible School Garden Program

Proceeds from the evening benefit the Edible School Garden Program, an initiative that teaches young students where real food comes from by getting them involved in growing it themselves. As someone who believes deeply in food education, I love seeing programs like this take root (literally!) in our local schools.

Chef Chats & Behind-the-Scenes Moments

Throughout the night, I caught up with a few of the chefs to find out what drives their culinary creativity. Spoiler: I had no idea at the time, but I ended up chatting with the chef who took home the win that evening—glad I caught that moment on camera!
