Tiger Fork Launching Brunch in Blagden Alley Saturday

By Prince Of Petworth


922 N Street, NW – Rear in Blagden Alley

The Hong Kong inspired kitchen will launch brunch this Saturday, September 9th. Much like their dinner menu, Tiger Fork’s brunch will feature “Dim Sum and then Some,” with shareable small-plates designed for the ultimate communal dining experience. Executive Chef Irvin Van Oordt created a menu inspired by traditional Hong Kong street food and Western-influenced dishes from the region, such as Happy Toast, a Hong Kong-style French toast topped with burnt coconut cream and condensed milk; and Congee, a traditional rice porridge with braised shitakes, a soft poached egg and yao cha guai (Chinese fried dough).

Full menu after the jump. (more…)

The early word on Chiko is very, very good. This could be very cool too:

“CHIKO is the first restaurant from The Fried Rice Collective. Chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno pair modern cooking techniques with traditional Chinese and Korean flavors, while Drew Kim provides his passion for hospitality ensuring a unique fine casual dining experience. The After Dark Series is an idea born from years of collaborative efforts by Chefs Drewno and Lee. This series will offer an opportunity for both local and national chefs to have a creative space to experiment.

The CHIKO After Dark Series will offer an array of dishes created by CHIKO and the guest chefs, in addition to the rest of the CHIKO menu being available. Each After Dark popup will have a food theme, with the first featuring Thai cuisine with Chef Alex McCoy. Chef McCoy will be offering three dishes; Pad Mee Korat, Hoi Lai Nam Prik Pao, and Khao Soi.
