Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year Roundup of Celebrations in Miami

January 27, 2017 By Eleanor Hoh 2 Comments

Kung Hei Fat Choy! Since I’m not organizing a Chinese New Year gathering this year, I’ve put together a list of Chinese/Asian restaurants celebrating Year of the Rooster with a Lion Dance or Special Menu or both so you can go and experience it, you’re welcome. Call them PRIOR to going to avoid disappointment, I’m just the messenger. I called many of them and gathered information from various sources for your dining pleasure, enjoy!

So, what does the Year of the Rooster mean to you? First, find out if you are a Rooster here and everything you need to know about your characteristics, luck, wealth, work, health and love prospects. I’m a little superstitious about cleaning, so I’ve already done all my cleaning. On Chinese New Year day, sweeping or cleaning is not a good idea cause you’ll sweep away your good luck!
However, if you’re like my hubby and I who’ve seen and done it many times and don’t enjoy all the noise with the clashing cymbals and drums, you can easily cook a few simple dishes like Festive Vegetables, Dumplings which resemble gold ingots and will bring prosperity, so definitely have some of those and you can’t celebrate Chinese New Year without making Pineapple Fried Rice.

HOH WOK CLUB: Year of Monkey at BAZI

March 5, 2016 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

This year’s HOH WOK CLUB’s annual gathering to celebrate Chinese New Year was a huge success with food and cocktails overflowing. Thanks to BAZI and all who came, it was like a big private party except Chef Mike Pirolo and his team did all the work, so I could hang and enjoy! So happy my sister, Valerie and her husband, Dennis were able to join us, at least I had one family member with me.
Feast your eyes on this food gallery, I already posted everything you need to know about BAZI in a post here. Don’t miss Chef Mike Pirolo’s video below describing his BAZI concept! Also go check one of my fav Wok Stars, blogger and super photographer, Brenda Benoit’s post here.
If you missed this outstanding fun celebration, stay tuned for upcoming HOH WOK CLUB gatherings! Numerous Asian inspired restaurants have popped up in Miami and I’d like to introduce you to them. Sign up for my free newsletter in right sidebar so you’ll get first dibs into these events.
