Epic Asian Street Food Night Festival hosted by Smorgasburg in Wynwood

July 27, 2023 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

If you’ve traveled to Asia, you’re probably familiar with night markets filled with stalls cooking up mouthwatering street foods. Growing up in Hong Kong, there were night markets everywhere. Night markets are a much more relaxed atmosphere instead of daytime markets. 

So, in that vein, I’m thrilled Smorgasburg Miami will be hosting the first ever Asian Street Food Festival at NIGHT.  It’s “the mother of all street fairs” as South Florida on the Cheap rightly claims, love that!

Smorgasburg will be decked out with beautiful lanterns lit up and the stylist is working her magic to come up with “neon looking” signs and characters. I can’t wait to see this. 

You’re in for a TREAT foodwise…

Delicious bites from over 12 Asian vendors. I’ve put their instagram handles so you can go check them out. Smorgasburg’s 60+ regular vendors will be serving their regular menu. Don’t forget to visit @smorgasburgmiami for all the updates, they are super at posting food that’ll make you drool. 

The BEST CHINESE BBQ @landnseamia

Delicious bites like Peking Duck Rolls with Scallions, Cucumber & Hoisin Sauce; Chicken sesame noodles and Char Siu (Roast Pork) with Fried Rice. 

New dim sum concept @dimsumterminal

Slow Braised Pork Belly or Chicken Scallion Pancake Sandwich, great street food! Also Taiwanese Dessert: mango, matcha, strawberry wrapped pastry cream. 

Fab Vietnamese Street Food @ykstreetfood

Street Skewers : Shrimp, Crab, Quail Egg, Tofu, Beef Meatballs; Steam Pork & Ube buns; Special Banh mi; Savory Sausage Sticky rice; Crispy Fish Sauce Chicken Wings.

Genius concept @stephanies_ crepes

Very smart, covering ALL diets and served in her unique crepe holder
Asian Savory and Sweet Crepes, 100% Gluten free…
Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Avocado for pescatarians; 
Veggie Edamame for vegetarians; 
Grass Fed Brisket Jang for carnivores.

In the Cultural department…

Thanks to Michiyo Ishii Sloane, a member of Ichimura Miami Japan Garden who organized two workshops for us, we are so honored.  An Origami (Japanese art of paper folding) workshop with Miyuki Saito. She’ll start with a simple boat and move onto the popular crane. 

And also an Ikebana (Japanese art of flower arrangement) workshop led by landscape designer & Ikebana artist, Akiko Iwata from Ai Creative Studio.

For Entertainment…

A young Filipino Breakdancer, Justin Medina will be showing off his creative moves, he can twist like a pretzel. 

Yoshiko Taiko Dojo drummers promised to keep moving their act and have fun with the audience. 

Ending the night with fun times!  Who doesn’t love Karoake? 

Here’s Event Schedule so you can plan ahead. 

Alright, that sums up what to expect. My tip is to come with family, friends so you can share many dishes, that’s how we always dine in Asia. Bring your own chopsticks if you have them and wear something Asian looking, will ya and get into the spirit for this festival.

EPIC Asian Street Food Night Festival!

Banana & Leaf: Grab & Go

October 19, 2011 By Eleanor Hoh 2 Comments

Banana & Leaf (Fusion & Fancy Sushi)

OPENS TODAY!  Wed, 19 October 2011, 11 am to midnight
$2 Grab and Go for just this week!
This gorgeous hip, modern and very cool Sushi Fusion Indonesian is in downtown Miami. From the same owners at Little Lotus Tapas.  Perfect lunchbox for busy lifestyles and the freshest sushi and sashimi at a great price!
There are a few bar seats and cozy couches with incredibly rich colors that immediately make you think of Indonesia! It’s inside a very posh building called The Loft.
Their concept is Grab and Go Lunch box for busy professionals, students and anyone who loves Asian food. All healthy and freshly made with everything priced around $5.  How can you beat that?  I didn’t have the menu at the time I was posting this but by the look of the photos Andi sent, they look like just what I’d enjoy eating for my lunch!
My husband and I were honored to be invited to their private party a couple of weeks prior to the opening. Wow, they made the BIGGEST sushi boat that was the length of the whole bar!  Their eel was very fresh, so tender and tasty and quickly disappeared.  There were mounds of seaweed salad, mayo seafood sticks that was very addictive, summer rolls, a very yummy seafood salad and mountains of salmon and tuna sushi. Funnily enough, I was the only Asian guest there apart from the seafood distributor, hmm.  All the guests were loyal regulars at Little Lotus Tapas.  I really enjoyed meeting these foodies.
I’ll leave you with a teeny secret, they’re expanding, can’t tell you where yet but Sari is a little empire builder.  I so admire her passion for bringing good Asian food, especially Indonesian food to Miami in a clean, modern environment that you want to hang out at.
Grab & Go and tell them Wok Star sent you!  And spread the word, share on Facebook, twitter, you know the drill. They deserve to be noticed.
Grab & Go, Dine In, Take Out & Delivery
234 NE 3rd Street Unit CU-1A, Miami, FL 33132
7 days a week from 11 am to midnight

Vietnamese gals from Viet Style who know how to bring it!

Coconut dessert cooked in CAST IRON, the best material for cooking anything! The more you use it, the more patina & becomes a natural non-stick!  I love the whole setup! They had a huge crowd just fascinated watching.

Wonderful idea, lots of work, stuffing bamboo stick with sticky rice & red beans.
