Sometimes I like to light-heartedly tease people about traveling to the other side of the planet just to eat food you can get at home. For whatever reason this trip might be the first time I really missed home-cooking/comfort food for once.
My wife and I ordered their 2 meat platter of your choice (which comes with rice), a small wonton soup, and beef chow fun.
I'm personally VERY picky when it comes to beef chow fun. Before I took a bite of anything else, I had a bite of the chow fun first and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious (though a bit bland for my taste -- personally). The smell of wok hei coming off the dish was very reassuring. The onions had seared spots, so I knew this chef knew what he was doing.
For the 2 meats, we ordered siu yuk (crispy pork belly) and char siu (BBQ pork). Both were equally good, but I thought the siu yuk was a little better. The braising liquid/juices it comes with really enhances everything. Excellent with rice.
Wonton soup was light and very delicate. The wonton was good, though nothing special. Perfect for the weather.
Honestly the meal really hit the spot for my wife and I. We've had better at home, but Wing Kee is the real deal for Cantonese cooking and will guarantee to scratch that itch for home cooking.
ALSO: the chili oil they have at the table is pretty spicy!! a must try for hot heads like me! read more
