parties & celebrations

East meets West, Pacific Rim cuisine, Asian Fusion food … these buzz words all point to our passion for the flavors and cooking styles of the Orient. With a little effort and a lot of enthusiasm, these tastes can be easily savored at home. With a beautifully simple table setting of earthenware plates, tea cups, and sake glasses alongside place cards written in a Japanese-style font and gorgeous potted orchids, guests are instantly transported across the globe.

After sipping chilled Sake and sampling gyoza and crispy wontons, guests sat down for a simple yet delicious Asian-inspired meal. A bowl of miso soup, upgraded with oyster mushrooms and poached lobster, was the perfect starter, while steamed striped bass with ginger, mushrooms, snow peas, and white rice rounded out the meal. For dessert, marinated fresh fruit was perfectly accompanied by a steaming cup of green tea. By infusing traditional Asian flavors with modern aspects, the flavors of the East are never as far as they seem.
