Best time to try Asian Restaurants is During Miami Asian Spice 2024

August 3, 2024 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

The best time to try Asian restaurants is during Miami Asian Spice. I’ve put together a list to highlight Asian restaurants participating in Miami Spice, and I’m calling it Miami Asian Spice, it’s just my way of supporting Asian Restaurants.

It’s a great way to get a taste and discover new favorites. Miami Asian Spice is from August 1st to September 30, so there’s time for you to try a few. It’s such an affordable price too, a 3 course experience for $30/$35 lunch or brunch and $45/$60 for a 3 course dinner. Go and enjoy these Miami Asian Spice Restaurants during the slow summer months.

REDFARM HOSTS A SPECIAL ‘WOK STAR SUPPER CLUB’ IN CELEBRATION OF ASIAN CUISINE

July 21, 2024 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

RedFarm hosts a Wok Star Supper Club in celebration of Asian cuisine on Sunday, July 28 at 6pm! It’s a steal at $75 INCLUDING tax and gratuity, drinks are not included. Due to limited capacity, reservations and prepayment is required. Do it soon, details below. Don’t miss this exclusive four-course sit down dinner curated by dim-sum master, co-founder & Executive Chef Joe Ng and I.

Gather your friends and colleagues and reserve a table for 6-8 for a fun social time, perfect for attorneys, doctors, dentists, designers, realtors etc. and of course Asian food lovers and foodies, not forgetting all my Hispanic and Latino friends who I know adore Asian food.

**Wok Star Supper Club’s** private dining area

And no, I won’t be cooking or giving any demonstrations, so many asked. My role is to curate and produce these gatherings.

RedFarm is famous for its first Chinese restaurant started in New York’s West Village by Chinese scholar & chronicler, Ed Schoenfeld and Chef Joe Ng. Opened in 2014 with a 44 seat restaurant in a former laundromat, called Decoy focused on Peking duck dinners with a community table (genius). RedFarm proceeded to open above Decoy and now has outposts in West Village, Upper West Side, Austin in Texas, Miami in Florida and Covent Garden in London. I personally think a “Decoy” in Miami would be a HUGE HIT, comment below if you agree!

Ed Schoenfeld was quoted as saying in NY Press about Chef Joe Ng, “probably be the best dim sum chef in Hong Kong.” I love how Chef Ed reinterpretes Chinese food in a modern and inventive way with whimsical touches and unique ingredients only for Miami. The dishes we’ve chosen are a beautiful and delicious mix of classics and chef’s modern takes. I can’t wait to share these with you.
