HAKKASAN is located inside the iconic world famous Morris Lapidus’ designed Fontainebleau Miami Beach. I’m proud and honored to be associated with Hakkasan, as a cooking teacher, it’s important for me to showcase only restaurants that represent Asian culture and cuisine at its finest. I only want to bring you the best so you’ll have a wonderful experience to remember, so bring your family and friends and let’s celebrate the Year of the Ram!
HOH WOK CLUB is a celebration of Asian culture and cuisine and a way for cooking students and Wok Star Eleanor Hoh to socialize outside of her Wok Star cooking classes and marketing Wok Star Kits to help folks succeed in wok cooking and eating healthy while having fun! These gatherings are also open to anyone who enjoys meeting people and exploring new flavors. Many who’ve attended have gone back to these restaurants to try other dishes and told friends about them. Over the years, Eleanor has had the honor of building wonderful relationships with the chefs and owners of the restaurants. One of the main reasons Eleanor created HOH WOK CLUB was to support smaller, independent family owned restaurants and help them succeed.
In this case, HAKKASAN is not a small family owned restaurant, it’s a Michellin-star concept with authentic, modern Chinese fare and AAA Four Diamond award winning restaurant. Chef de cuisine Jian Heng Loo (Kenny), originally from Malaysia has worked at prestigious restaurants including the Capella Singapore, a luxury resort, and the G Hotel in Malaysia. Jian honed his craft over a span of twenty years throughout Asia, he’s a new generation chef that uses his creativity and open mind to innovate the traditional Chinese cuisine.

Make Dad a Wok Star for Father's Day!
Want to make Dad a Wok Star? If you live in Miami, now’s your chance because next Thursday, June 12 from 6:30-9:30pm, even inexperienced dads will have a chance to wok up 3 scrumptious dishes paired with wines from different regions in Italy. This class will be a very intimate and unique event with only 12 guests.
Casa Vinicola Zonin USA is thrilled to host Wok Star Eleanor Hoh at their swanky penthouse loft to celebrate a special Father’s Day event. The collaboration between Casa Vinicola Zonin USA and Wok Star Cooking Classes is to demonstrate how well Italian wines transcend into any cuisine.
Picture dad when he realizes Wok Star’s easy no recipe approach keep things simple and makes cooking creative and fun. He’ll explore new flavors and learn Asian cutting techniques, how to mix and match vegetables and proteins for quick one-dish dinners with only four seasonings and very little cleanup. Perfect for busy dads and adaptable to any diet.
The menu includes an all time favorite, Rainbow Lettuce Wrap appetizers, which is paired with Zonin Prosecco and wow guests in a meet and mingle! Next, a delicate Shrimp with Baby Bok Choy and Oyster Mushrooms pairs nicely with Rocca di Montemassi Astraio. Lastly and most popular is the Tilapia in a Spicy Brown Bean Sauce in an unusual pairing with Castello d’Albola Chianti Classico, which complements the fish beautifully.
Best part of this class is the Wok Star Kit Bundle which includes everything dad needs to go home with to become a Wok Star right away! The most rewarding part for Hoh as a cooking teacher is hearing success stories from Wok Stars who love to show off their slicing, dicing and stir fry technique to family and friends! That’s what being a Wok Star is all about.
Here’s a post about how eccentric my Dad was, Remembering Dad on Father’s Day! So glad he knew about metals because he helped me avoid an expensive mistake with my cast iron wok when I first started out.
Sign dad up for this special Father’s Day event here.
Thanks to Miami.com, Miami Culinary Tours and Simply Q for including me in your Father’s Day Roundup!
