Wu Jia has always been a favourite haunt
for the Eating Kakis. We have been there a couple of times and we left with
fond memories of delicious Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices. Wu Jia’s more
expensive cousins are the Five-Ten Chinese Cuisine @ Precinct 10 and the W
World @ Drury Lane. I believe our last visit to Wu Jia was before the Covid
Pandemic.
For this lunch, we decided to go with their
famous curry prawns with bread and Japanese pan-fried lamb shoulder. The curry
prawns were well prepared with lots of fragrant spices and the curry was rather
thick. Thus, it went very well with the soft bread. And the lamb dish was just
as flavourful!
The third dish, the Wujia Spare Ribs was quite tasty too.
We
also settled for signature Homemade Bean-curd with Minced Pork and Salted Fish
and the Deep-fried Chicken with Mango Sauce. The Fried Mixed Vegetables with
Sambal was the only vegetable dish. All three dishes did not disappoint. Nicely
done. Finally, we opted for their
Steamed Red Snapper Fish with Pickle Radish. It was a good choice. We finished
off with Ai Yu Jelly for dessert. Seven dishes plus a dessert for 8 persons at
RM500 is certainly reasonable.
It was also a joyous occasion for all of us
as we surprised Cewie with a Birthday Cake. On that note, many thanks to Cewie
and hubby Vincent for cooking and introducing many wonderful dishes over the
years - the special Medan cuisines, crispy and crackling siok bak, delicious
bak chang, mouth-watering hokkien mee … just to name a few. We all concur with
Allan’s birthday wishes to Cewie, “We missed the big birthday party to the most
amazing person we know. Many Happy Returns of the Day, Cewie!”
