If we let our youngest son pick the restaurant every time we eat out, we'd probably have wings by now. He likes Wee Nam Kee's Hainanese Chicken so much! I really don't have any qualms about his choice because they do serve a good one, but man cannot live on Hainanese Chicken alone.
Wee Nam Kee recently revamped their menu - they took out a few and replaced it with better dishes, in my humble opinion. Hainanese Chicken what? I'm kidding. I still like that a lot. By the way, all the dishes are built for sharing. If you want to try a lot of dishes, it's better to go with a big group.

| Hainanese Chicken Curry Noodles PhP 225 {solo} / PhP 368 {sharing} |
It's just fitting to start this short list with Wee Nam Kee's signature dish {Hainanese Chicken}; well, a curry soup version of it. This was a standout bowl of flavors that gives the noodles a good character. I think that it's spiced a little too much; my friends find the level just right though.
 |
| Prawn Paste Chicken Wings PhP 218 |
Fried just the way I like it! The crust was thoroughly crisped out, but it wasn't oily. The meat remained tender and juicy. I hate when it's all dried out due to extreme frying. The prawn paste made the whole thing incredibly tasty.
 |
| Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken PhP 295 |
This was definitely my favorite amongst all. You'd think salted egg {with it's strong flavor} would easily dominate the whole dish making it, well, a complete stress of the obvious. It wasn't. The salted egg was more of a booster to the fresh chicken flavor. The mix was really good: salty, spicy, and tangy. I like that the fullness of the taste was cut away by a little heat.
 |
| Sauteed Beef Fillet in Sate Sauce PhP 395 |
Tender beef bathed heavily by rich, piquant sate sauce. The sauce wasn't that thick which is good, for me. This would've been too overly satiating had the sauce been thick.
 |
| Spicy Sambal Rice Noodles PhP 295 |
Don't let the noodles sit too long on the table. Give it a good toss as soon as it arrives so that all the flavors will be evenly absorbed. A delicious dish with nary an overpowering seasoning. This is a big bowl, by the way; probably good for five people.
 |
| Lemongrass Fish Fillet Stew PhP 325 |
The dish's name would immediately clue you in on its aroma. The firm-flesh fish ensconced by a light batter and joined by fresh veggies in a hearty, heavy, and flavorsome liquid.
 |
| Pineapple Fried Rice with Pork Floss PhP 250 |
This can be a one-dish meal. They didn't scrimp on the ingredients. It has shrimps, pork chunks, egg, scallion, sausage, and pork floss with a sweet essence of pineapple. Very good!
 |
| Wok-Fried Chicken Cashew and Sun-Dried Chili PhP 270 |
A blend of good textures, aroma {the kind that wafts though the air}, and flavors. The delicious, deep-amber, sweet and spicy sauce hugged each coated nugget well. This is perfect with steamed white rice, but also good on its own.
