Yue Chinese Hosts Wok Star Supper Club — One Night Only!

July 4, 2025 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Don’t miss the next Wok Star Supper Club at Yue Chinese, a stylish new Northern Chinese restaurant tucked on charming Española Way & Drexel in South Beach — happening Sunday, July 13 at 6PM.

Yue Chinese collaborates with Event Curator & Producer Eleanor Hoh (@wokstar) to bring her popular Supper Club to their cozy dining room. What used to be a clubby bar now glows with Art Deco colors, custom embroidered peacock panels, vintage lacquer cabinets, and design details personally chosen by owners Jay & Sherry Zhao and shipped from China.

WHAT TO EXPECT

For one night only, guests will enjoy a 5-Course Tasting Menu ($78pp), including a welcome rosé from Doña Rosalba.

Expect bold Northern and Szechuan flavors like Spicy Cumin Lamb and Black Truffle Angus Beef Xiao Long Bao. A vegetarian menu will feature dishes like Pan Fried Tofu in sweet soy sauce and a braised Wheat Gluten with mushrooms — a nod to traditional Szechuan roots.

It’s all about classic Northern Chinese and Szechuan flavors in a modern, neon-lit Miami setting. The night is rounded out with a curated wine list by sommelier Christina Sun.

On every menu, they’ve added their mantra: “At Yue Chinese, dishes are designed for communal enjoyment — bringing people together around the table.”

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!
