Celebrating Miami Spice’s 25th year, I’ve filtered out just the Asian restaurants and calling it Miami Asian Spice! We all know August 1st till September 30 means the start of Miami Spice organized by Greater Miami and Miami Beach Convention Visitors Bureau!

Here’s a list of 63 Miami Asian Spice restaurants…

This is the best way to get your feet wet before committing totally to a full scale dine. I’ve noticed a huge increase of restaurants joining, scroll all the way down till you see the list of restaurants I’ve created for you: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Pan Asian as well as Vietnamese & Thai.

Filter Your Options

You can adjust the filtered options specifically to your preferences. Make a note of all their requirements before booking. Some only offer dinner, etc.

Recap from Wok Star Supper Club at Ghee Wynwood

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! 🥢🥢🥢

My mom’s delicious Malaysian Assam Prawns in a wok is fast and easy. I’m sharing her SECRETS and SIMPLIFYING the dish for maximum flavor with minimum work.  Just 3 ingredients, 10 minutes and you’re done! Assam Prawns is a Nyona dish (the best of Chinese and Malaysian food, also known as Peranakan).

Do you know assam or tamarind are the same thing? It’s a slightly sour fruit pulp. The sourness is what makes a dish so appetizing. It’s used in many Malaysian and Nyona dishes like Tamarind Pork Rib Curry. It’s another of mom’s dishes that my family loved. I’ll be sharing blog and video soon.

I explain in the video which assam pulp to get so you don’t make a mistake like I did!

The wild caught jumbo prawns were perfectly seared in my cast iron wok and flavored with the 3 ingredient Assam Sauce. You can also make in your cast iron skillet!  10 minutes from start to finish, DONE!

Note: Please no nonstick woks or pans because it cannot handle high heat. 

You’ll find helpful tips in the video to make this Assam Prawns. It will become your favorite Weeknight Dinner the whole family will crave!  

I’ve provided links for hard to find ingredients below.
