New Atlanta Restaurants That Opened During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic - Eater Atlanta

Kaeng Khiao Wan Nuea (Green Curry With Beef and Thai Eggplant) MUST (The Washington Post photo/Laura Chase de Formigny)

I really appreciate a recipe where the sauce is the best part of the dish. Butter chicken? Yes, please, Ill take a bowl of sauce and a piece of naan for dipping. And the wine-infused gravy from my familys chicken and mushrooms is basically liquid gold, perfect for dunking chunks of crusty bread.

Id put coconut-based Thai curries in the same category. Give me a generous pour of curry liquidred, yellow or greenand a plate of jasmine rice, and Im a happy camper.

Youll agree once you take a slurp of this green curry from cookbook author Leela Punyaratabandhu. Of course, what makes the sauce is the curry paste, and youll need a good one, preferably from Thailand.

I can appreciate the impulse to make your own paste, and initially thats what I wanted to do with Punyaratabandhus recipe. But after a couple of fruitless calls to my local Asian markets and largely striking out online (makrut limes are especially hard to come by), I decided to take Punyaratabandhu up on her suggestion that commercial pastes are the best way to get the traditional flavors if you cant acquire the right ingredients to make your own. Plus, at only a few bucks for a whole container, its a cheaper upfront investment than buying everything individually, particularly if youre not sure youd use up all the components. Asian markets and some well-stocked grocery stores carry curry pastes from Thailand. Brands to look for include Mae Ploy, Maesri, Pantai, Nittaya and Lobo. Maesri, for example, is available at some Wegmans, and some Targets carry Mae Ploy.

One other ingredient note: If you cant find round green Thai eggplants, which should be at most Asian markets and even some farmers markets, I tested the recipe with halved and sliced long Asian eggplants. They cooked up softer than the Thai variety, which wasnt necessarily bad, but you may want to knock back the cooking time a bit to account for the difference.

Once you have your ingredients in hand, its pretty much smooth sailing with this one-pot meal that comes together in just about an hour. The beef (boneless, skinless chicken thighs work well, too) essentially poaches in the aromatic, rich liquid. That leaves the meat beautifully tender and also means it infuses the broth as much as the broth infuses it.

As to that broth, it includes coconut three waysoil, milk and cream (the solids that rise to the top of a can of coconut milk, dont mistake it for cream of coconut). Low-fat this is not, but you can certainly control how much liquid you include in your portion, even though its pretty hard to resist. If you do manage to end up with extra, youll be left with a next-day treat that I can confirm is fantastic on its own poured over rice, or any other grain or stir-fry your heart desires.

Recipe note: Youll need two 14-ounce cans of coconut milk for this dish. For the cream, skim off the thick top without stirring. For the milk, stir the contents of the can together to incorporate.

Kaeng Khiao Wan Nuea (Green Curry With Beef and Thai Eggplant)

1 hour

4 to 6 servings

Thai curry just as good or better than your typical takeout is within reach, thanks to this one-pot recipe. The key here is to buy a good Thai curry paste. Cookbook author Leela Punyaratabandhu says commercial pastes are the best way to get the traditional flavors if you cant acquire the right ingredients to make your own. We decided to take her up on that suggestion.

We also tested the recipe with chicken (boneless, skinless thighs), which worked well. Round, green Thai eggplants can be trickier to find, but we found that long Asian eggplant was a fine substitute, though they do tend to cook up softer.

Youll need two 14-ounce cans of coconut milk for this dish. For the cream, skim off the thick top without stirring. For the milk, stir the contents of the can together to incorporate.

Serve with plenty of rice, preferably jasmine, to soak up all the flavorful cooking liquid

Storage Notes: Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Where to Buy: Most Asian markets and some well-stocked grocery stores will carry curry pastes from Thailand. Brands to look for include Mae Ploy, Maesri, Pantai, Nittaya and Lobo. Maesri, for example, is available at some Wegmans.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces round Thai eggplants, stemmed and quartered through the stem end (see headnote; may substitute Asian eggplant, halved vertically and cut into 1/2-inch slices)

1/2 lemon

1/2 cup coconut cream (skimmed from the top of a 14-ounce can of coconut milk)

2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil

2 tablespoons green curry paste (see headnote)

1 1/2 cups canned coconut milk (from one 14-ounce can)

12 ounces chuck roast, cut against the grain and on the diagonal into bite-size pieces

2 phrik chi fa (fresh Thai long chiles; may substitute 1/2 green bell pepper), cut lengthwise on the diagonal into 1/4-inch-wide strips

2 tablespoons fish sauce

2 teaspoons packed grated palm sugar (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar)

1/2 cup packed Thai basil leaves (may substitute Italian sweet basil)

DIRECTIONS

Place the eggplant pieces in a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon juice.

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the coconut cream, coconut oil and curry paste over medium-high heat and stir until the paste is fragrant and the coconut fat separates (youll see shiny droplets of fat on the surface), about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and beef and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Cover, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain the eggplants and add them to the pan along with the chiles, fish sauce, sugar and, if necessary, just enough water to keep everything submerged. Turn up the heat just enough to return the curry to a simmer, cover and continue to cook until the eggplants are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Taste for seasoning. No more sugar should be added, but more fish sauce may be needed. When the flavor is to your liking, remove the pan from the heat, stir in the basil leaves and serve.

Recipe: This Thai green curry with beef is all about the sauce - Indianapolis Business Journal

Charoen Pokphand Foods PLC (CPF) together with Charoen Pokphand Group organised a number of events on 13 October to mark the 4th anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great's passing.

Overwhelmed by the gratitude to King Rama IX who had devoted himself for Thais' well-being throughout his long reigning period, CPF's executives and employees stationed in Bangkok, provinces and abroad gave alms to monks and joined commemorative events in tribute to the late His Majesty. In Bangkok, an alms-giving ceremony was organised at CP Tower Silom and CPF was one of private organisations participating in a public event to give food to 89 monks and novices, lay garlands and pay respect to the late His Majestys portrait at Sanam Luang. In provinces, for example, the feed mill at Bangna KM 21 and the water animal feed mill in Ban Bueng, executives and employees were invited to a ceremony to give monks dried food and pay respect to the late His Majestys portrait as a way of remembering the unfathomable depths of his benevolence.

The executives and employees of CPF abroad, Thai and foreign, were invited to commemorative events. CP Vietnam together with the Thailand-Vietnam Business Council hosted an event to present necessities to 8 monks at Buu Long Temple in Ho Chi Minh City. Joining the event were executives, employees and Thais residing in Vietnam.

In Cambodia, Thai and Cambodian executives and employees of CP Cambodia joined Thais in Cambodia in a merit-making event at the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh. CPF Philippines livestock business organised a ceremony to pay respect to the late His Majestys portrait at the headquarters in Manila, while the aquaculture business hosted a commemorative social event whereby executives and employees handed out lunch, consumer products, face masks and alcohol to an orphanage in Bataan Province.

At the head offices of CPF abroad such as India, Laos, Malaysia and Turkey, food was presented to monks and organisation members paid respect to the late His Majestys portrait. On the day, all executives and employees in Thailand and abroad wore yellow shirts, showing the world their unwavering loyalty and gratitude to King Rama IX who will forever stay in Thais hearts.

The event was held in Ho Chi Minh City by the Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) of Ho Chi Minh City in partnership with Central Retail Vietnam.

ITPC Deputy Director Tran Phu Lu said that Thailand is the Vietnams largest trade partners in ASEAN, noting that import and export revenue between Vietnam and Thailand in the 2016-2019 period accounted for 30% of Vietnams total import and export revenue from all countries in ASEAN.

Vietnams export revenue to Thailand makes up one fifth of Vietnams total export revenue from ASEAN and Thailand always maintains its position as the largest export market of Vietnam in ASEAN. However, Vietnam always posts a trade deficit with Thailand.

Through Central Retail, one of the leading retail groups in Thailand, Vietnamese enterprises are expected to bring their products to the Big C supermarket chain and export to Thailand in a bid to ease negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, restore business activities, and expand markets.

Enterprises were also informed of the needs and tastes of Thai consumers as well as the opportunities and challenges in selling goods in this market. At the event, Vietnamese enterprises were also given the chance to introduce their products to Thai enterprises through virtual platforms.

Three storms could be heading Thailands way and nine provinces in the Northeastern region could face the direct impact, the Thai Meteorological Department has warned.

Kornrawee Sitthichivapak, the departments deputy director-general, said tropical storm Linfa that is covering Laos has weakened to monsoon depression which would soon reach Thailands Northeast, affecting Mukdahan, Roi Et, Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Ubon Ratchathani, Sisaket, Surin, Buriram and Nakhon Ratchasima.

The monsoon trough and southwest monsoon are other factors that would increase the volume of rain in provinces in the southern region, such as Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Krabi, Phuket, Phang-nga, Satun and Trang.

Moreover, Thailand might also be confronted by a depression in the South China Sea becoming a tropical storm, while a low-pressure area near the Philippines had the potential of growing stronger.

Vietnam braces for typhoon

Meanwhile, ongoing heavy rains and flooding has killed 20 people in Vietnams central provinces, and 14 more have been reported missing, as the country braces for the seventh typhoon to hit this year.

The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting on Monday afternoon said the low pressure out in the north of the South China Sea (known in Vietnam as the East Sea) had strengthened into a typhoon internationally known as Nangka.

Nangka is forecast to make landfall in the north-central part of Vietnam on Wednesday, while the accompanying rains could cover the central region already battered by torrential downpours over the last few days.

The centre forecast that central provinces would face heavy rains ranging from 150 to 300mm on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control issued an urgent letter on Monday asking the bureau to closely supervise the development of the low pressure system and issue warnings to localities and ships.

Ministries, sectors and localities were instructed to cooperate with and supervise boats and ships operating in danger areas, and keep in contact with their owners.

Authorities also instructed boats and ships to find safe harbour and to take measures to ensure the safety of local people and tourists on islands and in coastal areas.

Aquaculture farmers should be kept informed of the development of the low pressure system, the letter said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also asked to contact countries and territories to ask for shelter for Vietnamese fishermen.

Deluge

The ongoing downpour, exacerbated by Typhoon Linfa which hit the central region on Sunday morning before weakening to a low pressure area, destroyed a total of 382 houses and flooded 109,034 others, and damaged 108 sections of national highways and 8.6km of provincial highways.

The disaster caused big losses to agricultural production by destroying 584ha of rice, 3,879ha of vegetable, 2,141ha of aquaculture, whilst killing about 150,700 cattle and poultry.

In Danang, many communes were submerged by rising floods worsened by water discharged from hydropower reservoirs.

As of 7am on Monday morning, the communes of Hoa Phong, Hoa Nhon, Hoa Lien, Hoa Khuong, Hoa Chau and Hoa Tien were badly submerged, affecting the lives of 3,000 local households in 38 hamlets.

In the mountainous districts of Hoa Vang, Lien Chieu and Cam Le, there was high risk of flash floods and landslides.

At present, 882 households in typhoon-affected areas have been moved to safer areas.

Meanwhile, people in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue are entering their fifth day of flooding and heavy rain.

Rainfall of over 1,000mm flooded areas near the Bo River, badly affecting to districts of Phong Dien and Quang Dien, as well as Huong Tra township.

Local people have been suffering from food shortages due to disrupted transport.

Hoang Sinh, a resident of Phong Hien commune, told Vietnam News Agency that his familys food reserves were running due to the prolonged rain and flooding, and they were down to a few packs of instant noodles and rice.

Tran Duc Thien, chairman of Phong Hien commune, said the local government was trying to reach local households to supply food, drink and medicine.

The floods surged rapidly and people in low-lying areas could not keep up. Water spilled into their houses submerging them up to 1m, said Tran Van Hoan from Huong Tra township.

The whole family had to move to a neighbours house. For several days, we only had instant noodles to survive, said Hoan.

This is the worst flood since 2006. It has badly affected 70 per cent of local people, said Pham Cong Phuoc, vice-chairman of Quang Thai commune.

The provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster and Rescue reported that as of 6pm on Sunday, three people had died, while seven were injured and another was missing.

Nineteen houses had, and 53,385 houses and 360ha of crops had been flooded.

More than 100km of coastline from Huong River across Huong Tho commune and Huong Tra township was severely damaged by erosion. About 300m of the dyke in Quang Phu commune, Quang Dien district was also hit.

In Hue, more than 50 per cent of roads in 27 wards and 2,560 houses were flooded as of Monday morning.

In Quang Tri province, the flooding dramatically increased on Monday morning.

From late on Sunday night, in the upstream area of the Thach Han River, 152 to 277mm fell in Dakrong district.

The downpour made the water in the Thach Han and O Lau rivers reach alert levels.

The river water levels were forecast to continue rising today and next days.

To cope with the situation, Quang Tri authorities have asked the central government to supply materials and rescue equipment, including two amphibious vehicles, 27 boats, rescue equipment and chemicals for disinfection.

The week-long rain killed six and injured two in the province, with a further six reported missing in the province.

Sections of National Highway 9, the Ho Chi Minh Trail and main roads in the mountainous districts of Dakrong and Huong Hoa have also been badly damaged.

Thailand, Vietnam caught in the line of fire from increased storm activity - The Phnom Penh Post

After decades of impressive growth, for the first time, Southeast Asia is experiencing a drop in measured human development. The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic will likely take months to reveal itself and years to put right. Yet, a legacy of mobilising under constraints is leading Southeast Asias pandemic response.

During the first two months of COVID-19 lockdown, the once bustling streets of Bangkok were unusually quiet. In the alley nested between two high-end shopping malls in downtown Bangkok, an elderly couple were not at their usual rice cart. Their regulars, motorbike taxi drivers and shop assistants, were absent. The couple have not returned now that things have eased. A Thai blind massage team shared, in our recent dialogue, that for them, no tourism equals no clients and no income.

Similar tales of woe can be heard in many other poor communities across Southeast Asia. Garbage pickers in the slums outside Manila; temporary workers living outside industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh city; undocumented migrants and refugees living along the borders of Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. They are among the 177 million people (below the US$5.5 poverty line) that the World Bank now estimates will slip into poverty.

No Strangers To Calamities

Southeast Asian communities are no strangers to calamities. In those times, they could probably turn to a relative, a friend or a neighbour for help. Or work extra to make up for the lost income. But the usual informal safety net only works if some are spared from the disaster. The COVID-19 pandemic does the exact opposite, striking everyone down at the same time.

Closed restaurants need no kitchen hands; street hawkers and motorbike taxis are idle when all stay at home; empty hotels need no cleaning. The new brief by the United Nations (UN) Secretary General shows that Southeast Asias gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to contract on average by 0.1 percent in 2020 with 218 million informal workers having their livelihoods at risk.

The informality of work means that they are not protected by any formal social safety nets. Even before the crisis, our analysis shows that 60 percent of the population in Asia and the Pacific had no protection when they become sick, disabled or unemployed. Many are so invisible that they would not even figure in the statistics.

The prolonged drought in much of Southeast Asia and the looming monsoons in the coming months may risk sweeping away the few assets they have left. Their hopes for the future, investment in their childrens education, look grim. Poor children without internet access, computers and smart phones cannot readily jump into remote learning during school closures. Without safety nets, either formal or informal, to fall back on, many will inevitably slide into poverty with no clear respite in sight.

Yet good news has come from Southeast Asia. The region was among the first to be hit by the pandemic and contains some of the countries with the greatest success in curbing it, including Vietnam and Thailand. Governments have been quick to roll out fiscal packages to help affected businesses and households.

Local Initiatives

Our review of COVID-19 responses reveals a diverse mix of relief packages including support for health responders, subsidies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), wage subsidies and direct cash transfers for vulnerable populations.

The myriad of local initiatives is another source of great hope. In Thailand, local voluntary groups have quickly come together to locate and provide essential packages to the most in-need communities, including those unregistered. New ways of providing health support have emerged such as teleconsultation for rehabilitation in Singapore and targeted telehealth services for children with disabilities in Malaysia.

These good practices were shared in our recent dialogue for protecting and empowering persons with disabilities. Permeating these practices is a strong sense of coming together from both the public and private sector.

The crisis has also shown that limited fiscal space and resources have not stopped countries from supporting their people. Measures that once were thought to be expensive such as establishing universal health care and broadening social protection coverage are now rightly seen as essential investments in people.

Measures that were seen as luxuries such as securing internet for all are now recognised as a lifeline especially for poor and vulnerable communities including refugees and migrants. Measures that would help us respond faster to crises such as providing people with basic legal identity are now a must.

Southeast Asias long road to recovery has started. Time will tell if the emergency measures can be locked in to help address the regions deep inequalities and put it on a green recovery path as advocated by the UN Secretary General in his recent brief on COVID-19 in Southeast Asia. Only then will the people of Southeast Asia be more resilient in any future crisis.

The New Post-Pandemic Poor - The ASEAN Post

Avani Hotels & Resorts, one of Asia's fastest-growing contemporary hotel brands, has announced the signing of the first Avani+ upscale resort in Vietnam.

Avani+ Ho Tram Resortwill expand Avani Hotels & Resorts' already robust development pipeline in Vietnam when it opensin the third quarter of 2023.

Currently, the brand has a total of three properties under construction in Ho Chi Minh City, Doc Let, and Cam Ranh, as well as two hotels in operation in Hai Phong and Quy Nhon.

Developed and owned by Hai Vuong Tourism Joint Stock Company, a German-Vietnamese developer with an established track record for high-end property development in Vietnam and Asia, Avani+ Ho Tram Resort is located in the serene beach town of Ho Tram in Ba Ria, Vung Tau Province, less than a two-hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest metropolitan conurbation.

Occupying a scenic beachfront site, the 200-key Avani+ Ho Tram Resort is located in an area that is a rapidly developing destination given its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City, pristine wide beach, and the appeal of the action-packed Ho Tram Strip 2.5 kilometers away.

The latter is home to a convention center, Vietnam's first open table casino, shopping precinct, restaurants, bars, and a world-class 18-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman. A new water park under development will undoubtedly add to the destination's appeal. The resort is an excellent base for day trips and half-day adventures: exploring the natural hot springs at Binh Chau, beach-hopping along the coastal road or touring fishing villages and fruit plantations.

Once completed, Avani+ Ho Tram Resort designed by leading German-Vietnamese designers Korn Architects will be the focal point of Hai Vuong Tourism's 'Sanctuary' villa development that will include a lazy river, a beach club, a conference center, and a pier. The property's 200 standard rooms and five 90-sqm bungalows will operate as a resort, while 268 one, two and three-bedroom managed residences in two towers will be available for purchase by individual homeowners and investors.

Avani+ Ho Tram Resort makes good use of Vietnam's sunshine with extensive leisure facilities including two pools, a fitness center, a kids club, and a third-party destination beach club. A spacious, all-encompassing spa will offer re-energizing treatments and facials using indigenous ingredients and drawing on regional wellness traditions.

The resort's signature restaurant will serve Thai-Vietnamese seafood, while the all-day dining venue and Pantry by Avani will specialize in international cuisine and refreshments, respectively. The pool bar will be serving up tropical concoctions, mocktails and Vietnam's famous craft brews on tap.

From conferences to product launches, the development offers extensive banquet and meeting facilities that can comfortably accommodate up to 500 guests theatre-style in the state-of-the-art 684-sqm ballroom that is divisible by three. Two additional meeting rooms are ideal for board meetings, teleconferences, and more intimate events.

Due for completion in 2025, Long Thanh International Airport is located approximately 40 kilometers east of the center of Ho Chi Minh City and is a 1.5-hour drive from the resort. In addition to serving domestic and international holidaymakers, it is expected to become a vital commuter airport for business and MICE travelers.

Avani currently operates over 30 hotels and resorts in 18 countries. The brand recently debuted in Cambodia and South Korea. Avani currently has a pipeline of over 15 upcoming hotels, including recently announced projects in Doc Let - Vietnam, Koh Lanta - Thailand, and Nairobi - Kenya.
