Wonders never cease: Wondermama has opened a new outpost named 'Wondermama X' in Avenue K this week, bringing its inimitable infusion of East-West flourishes into Kuala Lumpur's city centre.
Wondermama X looks distinctively different compared to Wondermama's original outlet in Bangsar Village; this branch seems more slickly lighted & sleekly outfitted with a polished flair. A well-crafted match for the heavily hyped rejuvenation of Avenue K.
Tinted glass shutters supply both a deftly designed window into the kitchen & a colourfully nostalgic component that completely & compellingly complements Wondermama X's concept. From floor to wall & ceiling, it seems constructed for the Instagram era.
Comfort food prevails here; WM's beloved 'salad' of cubed potatoes, fried chicken, tomatoes & veggies would work well even as a main course. RM17 before taxes.
Similar to Wondermama, Wondermama X is serious about its nasi lemak; expect all the variations here of moist, satisfyingly fragrant rice partnered not only with the perfect accompaniments of sambal petai udang, kangkung, peanuts, hard-boiled egg & ikan bilis, but also options like soft-shell crab, salmon, or chicken karaage, deep-fried the Japanese way.
WM-style aglio olio, a lovely illustration of Wondermama's cross-continental cuisine, with fried chicken, squid, dried shrimp, chilli flakes, daun kesum, garlic & olive oil.
Piece of cake: Chocolate & cempedak, a collaboration that's surprisingly successful, sure to be a crowd-pleasing recipe.
Green tea with organic soy, a nutritious partnership that might placate our city's increasingly figure-obsessed office workers.
Wondermama X's menu is nevertheless a teeny-weeny bit less extensive compared to what's offered at the Bangsar branch ...
... which exclusively serves several extra scrumptious specialities such as this creamy kangkung baked in foil, backed up by a one-of-a-kind mix of ikan bilis & beef bacon ...
... plus the now-renowned mini naan pizzas, crowned with the likes of otak-otak, red goji beans, cheese, boiled eggs & leaves (not available so far at Avenue K's Wondermama X).
