Event: Chef's Table at Yi Peng Thai Dining review

Well. What can I say? All my favorite platinum (black) folk already wrote essays upon essays about our grandeur Thai inspired evening in City Centre. It was a cosy summer night as we noshed upon food that was as big & bold with flavor, as our conversations were. First of all; I adore Jando; his bold and spunky persona is exactly what Houston was missing all this time. Like a gust of fresh East Coast air just chillin and vibin' with us. Thank you for making me laugh and spilling all the deepest and darkest depths of right on our table. Nothing about this was surface level shit, the hammer and axe broke through the table (¡gracias a Dios!). I was highly amused; as much as I was with the food that kept magically appearing in front of us. I kept thinking we would eat typical Thai cuisine that night. But that was far from our reality.. we were gifted with artisanal small plated meals that were decadent yet rich in taste. My favorites were the short ribs and crispy chicken. Thai tea was quite sweet yet refreshing in between savory meals. Their fresh coconut water was great as well. A bit of coconut meat and lightly iced, it was perfect in this summer season. Chef Jett was enthusiastic, energetic and fun to speak with. His name is quite huge in this city and it was lovely to finally meet with him. His wife and the rest of the culinary team were friendly and informative as well. Thanks to the Thai cultural ministry in their initiative to feed a bunch of platinum folk and tickle our taste-buds & minds. Now I have a strong longing and impulse to visit Thailand and nosh on penang curry that's sprinkled with just the right amount of kaffir lime leaves (a fav of mine). Aside from my wanderlust daydream, I had a great evening catching up with old-school folk. With summer finally ending (I think) it was a great initiative catching up and learning about prospective events & growth of the community. Much has changed in the past decade... The nostalgia of days gone by.. but this I know for sure.. so much growth and change will usher in more fun & unique events to come.. cheers and syoy! PS - thanks for the lippy balm/mints + other cute wee little gifts. The remembrance of a fun night will linger longer than the taste of those mints. *Besos*
