The inaugural Lucky Rice festival, a celebration of Asian cuisine in New York City, threw a Grand Feast last night at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, hosted by Lisa Ling (left). The cuisine represented the dishes of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, China and Japan, and the sweet and savory delectations were joined by (surprisingly good) wine from China, sake and tea. Teams from kitchens both Asian (Morimoto, Kittichai) and not (Daniel, Le Bernardin) and more came together in what was billed as the crowning evening of a festival that will continue with a special restaurant week, kicking off on Monday and continuing through May 9.
