Wee Nam Kee's Two Great Dishes in their 2014 Brand New Menu

The Wee Nam Kee, a Singaporean-Chinese restaurant, opened its first branch in Trinoma Mall in North EDSA,  Quezon City.  When we had our "foodcrawl" in Trinoma, Mr. Bob Vallar, the Marketing Manager, introduced us to their two signature dishes listed in their Brand New Menu for 2014: the Salted Egg Chinese Fried Chicken and the Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles.   

This set of Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken (on serving platter in the middle of the table), Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles (in serving bowl in the middle of the table), and the Hainanese Chicken Rice (in small bowl beside each of diner's plate) is quite enough for a group of  4 to 5 average diners.

Most of Wee Nam Kee's servings are good for sharing in a small group of diners.  

Our personal set of Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken  and Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles. 

Their Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles (PHP225.oo for solo, PHP368.oo for sharing) is basically the Wee Nam Kee's version of Singaporean laksa noodle dish. The chef  employs a twist from the traditional laksa by  using chicken broth instead of the usual oyster soy & shrimp sauce, and they used Hainanese chicken as the main source of protein, then added and mixed with Thai noodles, a whole leaf of bok choy (Chinese cabbage), and mild curry sauce that add color and flavor to their clear chicken broth. 

The curry-flavored chicken broth is poured on a serving of cooked Hainanese Chicken and noodles.

The Salted Egg Chinese Fried Chicken (PHP295.00) is a boneless (deboned) chicken coated in rich and sumptuous egg batter seasoned with curry leaves and chili, then deep fried till the coating  turned crisp.  

For added texture  and taste,  mashed "salted egg" is added in the batter for use in coating the chicken. However, the mashed salted egg has that grainy or sandy effect on the dish. Nevertheless, the dish is still good and tasty. 

It gets better if you dip it first on the dipping sauce on the side before munching.

The Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice (PHP50.00 per cup)  is the Singapore's authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice that accompanies with the mentioned two dishes, above. It is recognized by many food lovers to be the best from Wee Nam Kee.  Their traditional chicken preparation methods require boiling the whole chicken in flavorful chicken bone broth, seasoned with garlic, ginger, and other spices.

A cup of tea helps wash down the stuff and  refreshes the appetite if taken before dining.
