"Wok Star Supper Club"

Year of the Ram is off to a fabulous start for 2015! Chinese New Year with 70 lucky people at HAKKASAN, Fontainebleau Miami Beach was such a treat! I organized it as part of my Wok Star Supper Club gatherings, to celebrate Asian culture and cuisine with like minded people. If you’ve never had an authentic Yum Cha Chinese style, you have to experience it. And the best way to do that is at a chic, modern and beautiful restaurant like HAKKASAN. You get the royal treatment and you leave all the work to the chefs who painstakingly make all the intricate and magnificent dumplings and miniature sculptures!
Yum Cha in Chinese literally means, “drink tea” and is a leisurely way to enjoy an afternoon with family and friends over a 4 course 13 item dim sum menu, and that’s what we did yesterday. If you missed it, you can drool over the dishes below.

It was wonderful to see so many who’ve attended my class join me in this celebration and I hope to make this an annual event.

WOK STAR SUPPER CLUB (previously HOH Wok Club)

Wok Star Eleanor Hoh is a Miami food personality, wok cooking teacher, brand spokesperson, blogger, event curator/programmer, producer and influencer at @wokstar

My popular WOK STAR SUPPER CLUB is a series of gatherings held throughout the year in South Florida. Started in 2006, these gatherings are centered around celebrating Asian culture and cuisine, usually held on the LAST SUNDAY of the month.

View list of upcoming as well as past WOK STAR SUPPER CLUB gatherings below.

After a few years hiatus, I have resurrected my WOK STAR SUPPER CLUB gatherings. I’m thrilled to introduce numerous new restaurants focusing on modern Asian eats and Asian Fusion like Peruvian Japanese (Nikkei), Chinese Cuban (Chifa)etc. For me, eating out has to be a complete experience.

GOAL

My goal is to create a tasting sampler at a great value, support chef-owned restaurants while creating an evening filled with camaraderie and good Asian food. Mostly SOLD OUT events from 81 at Hutong Miami to 36 for a 3 course exotic Indonesian at Krakatoa Cuisine.

Many who’ve attended have gone back to these restaurants to try other dishes and told friends about them, so win win for everyone.

The evening starts off with a meet and mingle with a complimentary welcome drink then onto a sit down CURATED 3-4 course dinner. I also curate like-minded people to dine at the same table and people have enjoyed meeting new friends. These gatherings are an excellent way to be introduced to what the restaurant has to offer and give the chef an opportunity to talk about their philosophy and style of cooking.

I like a foodie friend, Joan’s take…”it’s like you’re giving your seal of approval’ when you review their restaurants or bring your Wok Star Supper Club there!”

NOTE:
Please understand, when chefs are dealing with a large number of guests all at once, it’s already difficult. It’s difficult to accommodate any substitutions or diet requests.

If you have food related allergies, strict dietary requirements, religious restrictions; are salt sensitive, vegetarian, pescatarian, or vegan or are pregnant: these gatherings are probably not for you. Please visit on your own.
