Wondee's has been a mainstay of the SUPERROTATION for quite some time now. We are hardly ever disappointed when we come here. It was quite packed last Saturday night. If you've ever been in downtown Hackensack after dark, the area is pretty dead. This is one of the few vibrant spots in town.
DJ Kung was not too hungry, so he ordered the chicken wings (being mindful of Chibby) and pad ped (duck salad).
Fried chicken wings. I dunno, it looks rather generic to me. DJKung assured me that it is good. He IS rather picky of chicken, and we do have a 1-10 ratings scale. He rates this as a "6 1/2."
Pad ped (duck salad). DJKung really likes the duck salad here. Notice how generous the vegetables are---very healthy.
I ordered the papaya salad and the pad thai. I think the kitchen is pretty mindful of the local palate, because they've been easy on the spice. The best papaya salad I've had included A LOT of bird's eye peppers and was sweet, salty and mouth-puckeringly sour. Wondee's version is much milder, with most of the elements toned down. I love how crunchy the julienned papaya is, and how the papaya juices meld with the limes, sugar, peanuts and fish sauce. You bet I was slurping the bottom of the plate!
Papaya salad. It's a pretty healthy serving too; I was full after finishing this!
Everyone makes pad thai differently. I think Wondee's base uses soy sauce.
We were too full for dessert. I do remember at one time we ordered fried ice cream. This was such a novelty to us---an abberation within the laws of physics. It was actually a ball of hard packed ice cream in a thick, deep fried batter. So. Mystery solved.
