PRIVATE EVENT SUNDAY NOV 20

2011-11-20T16:47:00.001-08:00

We've got a private event Sunday Nov. 20th, but if you want, stop by and we'll serve you the NIGHT+MARKET menu in Talesai's dining room!

Frantz Saumon Mineral + Montlouis Chenin

2011-11-11T10:08:00.000-08:00

Montlouis Chenin Blanc from Frantz Saumon. Grown organically on limestone, clay and silex plots, tended by hand, vinified with indigenous yeasts. For tasting notes, just read the label, "Mineral +." There is acidity and a hint of residual sugar, which leads me to believe that many people who would otherwise only drink off-dry Riesling with Thai food might enjoy this as well.

We'll be donating $.75 per small plate ($5-$8) and Chang beer ($4). Come with a couple friends and get a beer tower ($29) and we'll donate $9. The money goes to the Thai Red Cross Society.

BTW...

2011-10-20T09:04:00.000-07:00

I normally just pronounce it as , 'night market.' The only reason i put the + sign between is because i thought the words looked too bare on their own and would make our sign boring. i'm a big dummy cause apparently everyone else sees it as 'night AND market'...

I'm cool with that though! Please feel free to call it whatever you want!

Kao Soi Gai for dineLA Restaurant Week!

2011-09-29T12:18:00.000-07:00

We usually do a version of Chiang Rai Kao Soi called 'Nam Ngiew'...it's a spicy porky red broth with tomato over thin rice noodles. It's definitely not widely available around these parts.

People sometimes see it and say, "this isn't the Kao Soi I usually have. Where's the coconut milk? Where's the chicken?"

Well here it is. Kao Soi Islam aka Kao Soi Gai will be on our dineLA menu, and if you follow us on twitter, you may have seen that we're doing a test run of the menu on Saturday, which means we get to work out last minute kinks and you get $5 off!

2011-09-27T12:14:00.000-07:00

NIGHT+MARKET’s Northern Thai BBQ w/Domaine LA, Sunday Aug 7 @ 5PM

2011-08-01T14:54:00.000-07:00

This Sunday, August 7, 5PM, chef Kris Yenbamroong of NIGHT + MARKET will be hosting a Northern Thai BBQ on our back patio with a pop-up wine bar by Domaine LA's Jill Bernheimer and Whitney Adams. There is no specific occasion--just a gathering of friends and an opportunity to cook on an open flame!

On a recent trip to Thailand’s North country, we hauled back three sausage grills. These grills are simple (read: ghetto) little contraptions that are typically fueled with coconut shells. Modest as they may seem, they are responsible for much of the amazing food that comes from this region.

Sunday’s menu will consist of regional specialties from Chieng Rai and Isan. It will center around two types of sausage: Sai Uah (Chieng Rai herb sausage) and Sai Krok Isan (Northeastern fermented pork sausage), both of which are completely hand-stuffed in our kitchen every couple of days.

In addition to the sausage, we will be serving the following dishes:

nuoc mam chicken wings fried. with rooster sauce

pork satay skewers bathed in condensed milk. grilled

‘kor moo yang’ | pork toro grilled fatty hog collar. with ‘jaew’ northeastern chile dip

bbq ‘moo daeng’ pork ribs over shredded cabbage w/garlic & lime

salted beef ‘neuah kem’ oven-dried. deep-fried. best eaten with sticky rice

*moo sadoong | ‘startled pig’ slices of grilled pork shoulder w/ mint, thai basil, lemongrass, fish sauce, lime, bird eye chile, toasted rice powder

*gang ho | ‘dry’ pork stew fatty delicious belly and shoulder cuts, slowly simmered with palm sugar, pickled garlic and ginger. tossed with glass noodles

*hor ab | catfish tamale catfish baked in a banana leaf with chieng rai chile and spices

sticky rice

coconut rice

$29 gets you a sausage plate (Chieng Rai and Isan w / trimmings) and 3 other items of your choice (*excluding these items).

Additional helpings, along with starred items, may be purchased a la carte (priced $2 - $10).

The lovely ladies of Ubriaca LA will be on hand with a pop-up wine bar. We’re especially stoked, as we requested they bring Thai BBQ-appropriate wines that are NOT Riesling (which we love, but feel is too predictable as a pairing with Thai food). In response, we’ve heard whispers of Pineau d’Aunis making an appearance, to which we can only say, ‘HELL YES!’

Here’s a few words about our friends:

"In Italian, the word ubriaca means "drunk," which is what you may be, if you sample all the wines on tap at LA's newest pop-up, Ubriaca LA (@ubriacaLA). A wandering wine bar hosted by Domaine LA's Jill Bernheimer and her cohort Whitney Adams (Brunellos Have More Fun), each event focuses on a different region, grape, style and theme."

Wines will be in the $12 range per glass.

KAR MOO PARLOW | FIVE SPICE PORK HOCK

Traditionally, these hocks hang out in large brass woks at food stalls throughout Bangkok.

You tell the vendor if you want it fatty or lean, although in this case, 'lean' is a relative term.

She slices a few slivers and serves it over rice, tops it with a bit of the dark braising liquid and maybe some stewed veggies. Though I enjoyed the dish, I always felt that it was more appropriate to serve the whole hock, for people to feast on as a group. So that's what we'll be doing. One hock should easily feed 3-6 people. We serve it with pickled mustard greens and pounded chile with vinegar.

Chicken and Rice for Tsunami Relief @ NIGHT+MARKET!

2011-03-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

Tonight through Sunday, March 20, we will be offering two takes on Chicken and Rice,

as prepared in two different regions of Thailand.

Each dish is paired with a wine.

20% of proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders

to aid with Tsunami relief in Japan.

$ 18

KAO MAN GAI

Poached chicken over rice seasoned with ginger, garlic and rendered chicken fat.

Served with a ginger and yellow bean sauce and chicken soup.

This is a Hainanese dish popular in central Thailand, although it can be found in most corners of the country.

riesling, eva fricke, rheingau, germany '09

dry riesling from steep slopes of slate and quartzite. all that minerality is balanced with citrus flavors and a particularly sweet nose. the producer is also employed as a winemaker at leitz.

++++++++++

OB GAI

Chicken on the bone, stewed in a spicy broth of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and red chile paste.

Served with coconut sticky rice.

tinto maceracion carbonica, los bermejos, canary islands '09

this wine comes from a place that looks like it could be a lunar surface. large divots are dug out to shield the vines from extremely harsh winds. it's made from a grape called 'listan negro' but if i didn't know that, i'd probably say it was a gamay from the loire!

New Wines Just In Today!

2011-03-17T17:39:00.000-07:00

This post is boring in that there are no photos. It is, however, EXTREMELY EXCITING b/c the wines listed are REAL WINES made by REAL VIGNERONS using methods that allow for the truest expression of the grape and the land. And while that statement is somewhat vague, the wines are not. They are focused, interesting and delicious. I will not carry on about the wines, rather, I recommend you come in and taste them!

2011-02-14T08:42:00.000-08:00

To celebrate Valentine's day, we are offering our FAVORITE

street delicacy...

It's pungent and spicy, but totally delicious and will make you feel awesome.

KAO KLUK GAPI | SHRIMP PASTE RICE

$ 16

Jasmine rice seasoned with gapi (shrimp paste), served with the following 'toppings':

Candied pork, shredded kai jiew egg omelette, dried shrimp, shredded green mango,

lemongrass, raw shallots, lime and cucumber.

What's cool about the dish is that you can add any number of accoutrements beyond the traditional ones listed above, so we're offering it alongside a full a la carte menu.

We'd suggest you order some sai krok isaan (fermented pork sausage), kiew wan oxtail, raw oysters or bbq pork collar to go with it.

And while this dish is VERY un-Valentine's day, the wine we'd pair it with is VERY Valentiney...

Il Frappato, Valle Dell'Acate, Sicily '09

this varietal bottling of the native sicilian grape, frappato, is a light to medium-bodied,

cherry-smacked mediterranean-breezed whimsical number that is perhaps the antidote to all the pungent depth of the kao kluk gapi.

$ 12 gl / 38 btl

NIGHT+MARKET vs. KXLU 88.9FM podcast (orig. air date 12-13-10)

2010-12-14T14:40:00.001-08:00

One Monday evening, Kris, notorious proprietor behind NIGHT+MARKET and girl band enthusiast, was asked to cohost the hourlong girl-centric radio show, 'She Rocks', on KXLU 88.9. Realizing that they had done their audience a disservice by booking Kris for only one hour, KXLU scrambled to arrange for an extra hour, not knowing until the last minute whether this would even be possible or whether it would present any scheduling conflicts for the highly sought-after DJ/Chef/Radio Personality. Kris, the charitable and loving man that he is, obliged. The rest, as they say, is history.
