Guess What?!!


Our favorite Thai restaurant Wondee's also serves...(drum roll please!)

KUAY CHAP!

Woo-hoo!!! We haven't eaten Kuay Chap for almost 2 years and what a "shocker" to discover that our favorite Thai restaurant is capable of whooping up this famous dish - a favorite amongst people from Kuching i.e. people like us - shamelessly obvious. Wondee's kuay chap is passable and similar to what we would eat in Kuching. The best thing? It is also called Kuay Chap :) Thank you Wondee. You are a superb cook!

Clockwise from top: Yen Ta Four and Stewed Pork Shoulder (next to it is a "Hainanese-chicken-rice" type ginger chili sauce that goes very well with the stewed meat!)

Apart from Kuay Chap, Wondee also makes other delicious dishes to cater to the typical Asian palate. Let me tell you, she cooks a mean, yummy stewed pork shoulder and a Thai seafood noodle soup called Yen Ta Fo :)

Wondee's is a great Thai place for those who appreciate home-cooked food. Their main menu is just as great but these days, we are sticking by their Thai menu. In other words, the silent menu :). Sometimes, it pays to be adventurous. You'll never know what you'll discover. You just have to ask, or in this case, we have a very nice friend who works there and he has been very good at recommending their "specials".

Kuay Chap in New Jersey...I'll be smiling in my sleep tonight.

pablopabla: it was a surprising discovery :)))

wuching: time to go back home to satisfy the kuay chap cravings!!!

cooknengr: you can ask Bobby to find you a Lexus-driving Sugar Mommy now :) Bobby hasn't lost interest in cooking has he? would be a real shame :(
