Wok Star Supper Club x Hutong: A Flaming Hot Night!

March 18, 2025 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

If you missed this one, here’s a recap from my Wok Star Supper Club at Hutong Miami! It was our biggest yet—packed with incredible food, amazing people, and an unforgettable Flaming Peking Duck presentation. But most importantly, Hutong Miami’s beautiful and stunning architecture with vibrant colors captured people’s attention first!

Here’s my Instagram Reels where you can see Flaming Duck video.

A Sold-Out Success!

We filled the house with the largest turnout yet, proving once again that food has the power to bring people together. Huge thanks to my friends Selma, Daphnie & Rico for rounding up big groups—it’s always more fun with a lively crowd!

The Star of the Night: Flaming Peking Duck

Hutong outdid themselves with not one, but TWO brilliant Flaming Duck presentations. The tableside show was pure theater, setting social media on fire and catching the attention of food lovers and media.

A light show across a 70 ft hand carved wall kicked in when night fell.

Sipping on Something Special

Our welcome drink sponsor, Dona Rosalba Rosé, was the perfect way to kick off the night. Many guests raved about this crisp, refreshing wine, and I love that so many are ready to purchase it after discovering it at our event.

Exotic cocktails guests also enjoyed!

Curated Dining & Meaningful Connections

The specially curated menu helped Hutong streamline their prep, ensuring a smooth, delicious experience for everyone. But beyond the food, the best part? Sitting with like-minded food lovers, making new friends, and expanding your network over Hutong’s delicious specialties!

Wok Star Supper Club at Drunken Dragon

July 23, 2016 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Conquer the Summer Blues in Miami and join my first summer Wok Star Supper Club gathering. I’m very excited to introduce you to Drunken Dragon, it’s tucked away in a nondescript strip mall that still retains a red neon sign, MARKET, except there’s nothing plain about this place. Don’t be fooled by the exterior, on entering, you’re greeted by steamy photography of Japanese bondage on one side and on the other, a 300-pound table made out of reclaimed Douglas fir suspended by chains.
You’re probably wondering if I’ve gone off the deep end choosing this restaurant for our Supper Club but I like to shake things up and take you places you wouldn’t dream of going.  Trust me, you’re in for a delightful culinary experience and get into the groove. It’s a cross between an Asian gastropub, Japanese Izakaya and Korean BBQ. We’ll start with a social meet and mingle, cocktails with water throughout the evening sponsored by VOSS and snackies before sitting down to the 3 course dinner, so don’t be shy, introduce yourselves!

Korean BBQ grills in the main dining area are the highlights for most but for me, it’s Chef Xavier Torres’ modern Asian inspired plates from Vietnam, Thailand and Japan that we’ll focus on for this Supper Club. His previous stints at Nobu, The Dutch, Zuma and Sushi Samba culiminated into his current exotic cooking style at Drunken Dragon.  It’s fantastic that Chef Xavier and I both learned to cook from our moms.  He grew up in Puerto Rico and was encouraged to explore his natural culinary talents by his mom!  You’ll get a chance to hear his philosophy about his style of cooking at the end of our gathering. Chef Xavier and I came up with a menu so you can enjoy a taste of all his signature dishes.
Owners, Conrad Gomez, Angel Febres and Navin Chatani, all with nightclub, bar experience decided to open Drunken Dragon after successfully opening Foxhole Bar.  I’ve arranged for us to go there after our gathering where you’ll get your first drink FREE!  It’s literally behind the restaurant but you wouldn’t know it cause it’s unmarked and in an alleyway. Yes, taking you deeper into a shroud of mystery.
I set the gathering for August 14 to coincide with my mom’s birthday if she were still alive!  I think she would appreciate us celebrating with her, enjoying each other’s company and of course the food.  My mom was a fantastic cook and entertainer, she would organize lavish dinner parties and I truly think I inherited my love of doing the same thing from her!
Can’t wait to see you all at Drunken Dragon, gather all your friends, family, colleagues and celebrate summer with us with some good food and a few laughs!
