Laksa, reinvented, at Wee Nam Kee!

Singapore, more than the merlion and the hanging gardens, is known for culinary creations that encompass regions and meet the palates that craves for eccentric more than the conventional. A visit to the Lion City is like opening up yourself to a world of food that not only fills in your hungry tummy, but also serves as a visual spectacle.  And this is exactly what Wee Nam Kee hopes to serve up, to bring the Singapore experience to Filipinos everyday.

With the weather giving us rainy days and nights, a bowl of hot soup is in order. Throw in all you’d ever want in a noodle soup and you’d get our newest offering, the Laksa Festival. This staple dish from Malaysia is given an exciting twist and presents itself in either the traditional coconut or curry based soup, or in clear, seafood-based soup. Take a sip of the soup, bite into the meat, savor the noodles, our Laksa Festival line is all yours for the taking.

A Wee Nam Kee favorite, the Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles has all the makings of a perfect bowl. Our signature Hainanese chicken on a bed of Thai noodles swimming in a mild curry soup. Every spoonful of this bestseller will surely give you that much needed warmth. The clean taste of the Hainanese chicken balances out the complex flavors of the curry, giving it a unique and exciting twist.

On the other hand, the Classic Laksa is inspired by the flavors of South East Asia and is a hearty serving of fresh, homemade Hofan noodles, paired with slices of squid meat, squid balls, fish cake, and pork in a spicy coconut cream broth.  Topped with bean sprouts and fresh vegetables and mixed with curry and Szechuan sauce, the marriage of flavors will definitely excite even the most sophisticated taste buds.

And lastly, the Seafood Laksa is as authentic a take on the Singaporean classic as you’ll find anywhere outside the Lion City. A generous serving of shrimp, squid, minced pork, squid balls served on top a bowl of Somen noodles in a clear spicy broth, this dish is sure to tingle the palate.

Join in the festival and get your fix of laksa today. Wee Nam Kee’s Laksa Festival is available at the following branches:  TriNoma, Greenhills Promenade 3, Serendra, and Alabang Town Center.  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram via @WeeNamKeePH.

Rice, please—Osaka Ohsho launches Donburi Festival!

Known as the king of gyoza, Osaka Ohsho presents yet another modern take on a traditional favorite. The Donburi Festival, a parade of rice bowls that will surely appeal to food lovers, Japanese and Filipinos alike. With Asian’s having an unspoken love affair with rice, one thing’s for sure, no one can resist steamed rice with a hefty serving of meat, seafood, and vegetables on top.

If it weren’t for those tiny packets of meaty goodness, Osaka Ohsho won’t be hailed as ‘king of gyoza’. Top it on a steaming bowl of Japanese Koshihikari rice and made even more special with a miso-butter sauce, you’ve got yourself a Gyoza Donburi!

 Add in some pork, tofu, and fresh vegetables on the side, you’re sure to finish the entire bowl faster than you think! Next up, the most basic (but never lacking on flavor and taste), the Ebi Tempura Don

will have you biting into ocean fresh Black Tiger Prawns, onions, eggplant, and sweet potato in a Japanese tempura batter, fried to a golden crisp. Served on top of steamed Japanese Koshihikari rice and a Japanese tempura dip on the side, this one is sure to be a crowd favorite and will have you craving for more.

To round up your donburi experience on a ‘saucy’ note, choose from the Doteyaki Don or Shake Don.

Tender chunks of premium beef and beef tendon cooked in white miso, sake, and mirin is what Doteyaki Don is—spiked by Japanese spices and finished off with chili, the play of flavors is so interesting a second bowl would be in order. On the other hand, the freshest catch from the ocean finds its way to your bowl with our Shake Don. Picture this: fresh premium Norwegian Pink Salmon smothered with sweet and salty teriyaki sauce and sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. The salmon blends well with the tangy taste of the teriyaki sauce making it a perfect pairing. Whatever your choice is, it’ll surely satisfy any craving.

Osaka Ohsho’s Donburi Festival is available for a limited time at the 3L of Mega Fashion Hall, so hurry and get your rice bowl groove on! Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram at @OsakaOhshoPH and get #ohshoexcited!
