Cloudy Days and Laksa at Wee Nam Kee

Nothing like a comforting bowl of noodles on a cloudy day...

Wee Nam Kee showcases the iconic Peranakan dish with its Laksa Festival, with three flavorful variants offering comforting flavors to make any cloudy day better.

As your Laksa is being prepared, why not nibble on Wee Nam Kee's Pork Spring Roll Bouquet (P 168), thin and crisp spring rolls served with sweet chili sauce. It's the perfect starter before the Laksa...

If you're looking for a light yet healthy bowl of noodles, Wee Nam Kee's Seafood Laksa (P 368) is a good option, a light yet flavorful variation with squid, shrimps, clams, minced pork, fish balls, and fish cakes on rice and egg noodles with fresh bean sprouts, cilantro, lemongrass, fish sauce, and chili in a clear steaming hot Singaporean spiced soup.

The light broth is creamy, almost milky, yet the flavors are delicate and mild. The rich blend of seafood add its own distinct layers of flavors, punctuated by the sharp notes of the cilantro and lime.

But if it's bolder flavors you're after, Wee Nam Kee's Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles (P 368) fits the bill, a richly flavored and mildly spicy curry broth with the tender signature Hainanese Chicken of Wee Nam Kee and soft and chewy Thai noodles

The coconut cream broth is thick, tempering the heat of the chili and curry spices for balanced flavors. And the Hainanese Chicken completes the dish. It's not overwhelmingly spicy, but a soothing heat lingers long after the first sip. Both the Seafood Laksa and the Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles are good for 2-3 persons, or one real hungry dude. You can also go for Wee Nam Kee's Classic Laksa (P 310), with its rich and spicy coconut cream broth loaded with pork mixed with fresh Hofan noodles in a curry and Szechuan sauce combination combined with egg, bean sprouts, fresh vegetables, and tofu skin. Don't let cloudy days get you down, have a bowl of Laksa instead. At Wee Nam Kee...
