  Unexpectedly we found ourselves in wok monk on a Sunday afternoon. The reviews were good and we wanted to try the cuisine. I’m glad we did, as I am very happy to report that food here is delicious.For starters I had ordered spicy chicken and celery wonton and for the husband a portion of chicken satay. Both were very very good. The satay was just crisp and soft on the outside with the right amount of spices. The clear veg soup was refreshing except for pieces of herbs that keep getting in the mouth.For mains we ordered nasi goreng, the famous Malaysian rice and flat chicken noodles. Both didnt disappoint. And sonce the helpful maitre d had suggested not needing a gravy with the above, we went for a lamb starter and it was ideal. We ended the meal with a milo and vanilla and a pancake desert.All in all I was one happy girl and the icing on the cake was getting the entire bill amount at 50% discount. We ended up having a sumptuous, tasty meal for half the price thanks to GIRF.

  Food:Bakso Veg Soup – An Indonesian starter with smooth glass noodles (like Vermicelli) in a mild-spiced broth; one of a kind soupMixed Veg Crystal Dumpling – Translucent dumplings with a mixture of veggies; very soft, spice-less yet had the flavour along with each biteXiao Long Bao – Soupy Chicken Dumplings served on individual spoons, but why? Top the dumplings with your favourite sauce and dump it in a single bite to avoid major soup spillageYin Yang bites – Was well fried with baby corn and mushroom; had a strong fragrance of garlic and was spicy tooMalay Curry Squid – First time trying out a squid; I personally liked it since there was no strong smell; the squid was well fried and with the bell peppers, it was kind of sour; the curry sauce tasted like an Indian oneMie Goreng Chicken – World-renowned spicy thin noodles with its own aroma; definitely tummy-filling and had great meat level with unique spicesWok Monk Veg rice – A stir-fried flavourful rice with veggies (Chinese cabbage – bok choy, lotus stem etc) wrapped in lotus leaf; well presented, IMPRESSIVEKawaling Pinoy – World’s most smooth creamy mango dessert filled with sweet sago; one serving just can’t be enoughPenkek Kelapa – Sweet coconut pancakes topped with ice cream and palm jaggery; typical and had distinct flavours along with every biteKaffir Mojito – Kicky Mocktail filled with citric Kaffir (lime) leaves with mint; had too much ice thoughIce Milo Shake – Cold Milo served with a scoop of Milo Powder on top; WOWCendol Champion – Signature SE Asian delicacy filled with jelly, coconut milk and palm sugar; tasted kicky and sour from the bottom, sweet and chewy in the middle but on the whole, a Nonpareil drinkAmbience/Price:What does it take for a restaurant/hotel to gain the “Chennai’s Finest” tag? It’s not only the food but also the ambience and service at few places.The service over here is a class apart. The staff were courteous enough to take care of all their customers with a smile and without any hesitation. Quirky décor and neat setup are a huge bonus for this place.Speaking about price, this place can very well be listed under PAN-ASIAN delicacies at decent pricing in Chennai.MUST TRY for all South-East Asian-food lovers.
