Slurps up! Corporate Meeting Menus go Asian in NYC

New York corporate meeting menus are trending Southeast Asian and chefs are ramping up new ways to serve traditional dishes. Vietnamese in particular has started turning up at more galas,  with new twists on chicken curry and a delicate cha ca la vong.

Ready to slurp? Burmese-influenced soups from northern Thailand are everywhere. We recommend the khao soi—a Chiang Mai lunch specialty—pliant egg noodles nestle with stewed chicken legs in a bowl of turmeric-tinted curry, thick from lush coconut milk and a heavy chicken stock. It’s topped with a tangle of fried noodles and brightened by contrasting accompaniments, like fermented mustard greens and a lime wedge.
