For this festive season, Woody is offering 2 special X'mas and New Year Set Meals available from 16 December 2013 to 1 January 2014. One is the Western menu at $78.90 and the Peranakan set priced at $40.90. Both sets are for 2 persons.
The Peranakan set is good for merry-makers who want something different from standards like turkey and ham. It offers, for mains, local favourites such as Rendang, Chicken Curry and Pork Ribs Tempra. Diners get to choose 1 main dish and get 2 free starters and 2 soups of the day. Complimentary rice or bread and drinks (hot or cold) are included in the price.
Rendang is a Padang style of cooking which goes best with beef or chicken. However, owner-chef Jenny Yeo decided to introduce duck rendang to Woody's menu on the recommendation of Mr Seetoh of MakanSutra. Not traditionally a Peranakan dish, rendang is nevertheless popular with many babas and bibiks.
Enon's Nyonya chicken curry is prepared according to family tradition. Following in the footsteps of her mother, Jenny, believes in using only the freshest ingredients and does not cut corners on the spices and herbs. The gravy is thick and concentrated and is the perfect dip for Woody's crispy mini-loaf.
When you order the festive menu, you'll be treated to 2 interesting side dishes - Petai Omelete with onion and chili padi and Woody's achar.
I particularly like the omelete. This dish caters to fans of the Malaysian pea with the unique flavour. The omelete is made to look like a souffle with a light fluffy texture. The diced onion provides the subtle sweetness while the chili padi makes the dish hot - perfect for lovers of hot and spicy food.
Woody's achar, on the other hand, adds punch to the meal. Like how a good nyonya achar should be, this appetizer is a balanced combination of sweet and sour. The cucumber, carrot and cabbage retains its crunchiness but at the same time is sufficiently cooked. To me this is important as there is nothing worse than eating achar that tastes completely raw.
The meal comes with soup of the day. It will depend on what ingredients are available for the day but a popular choice is Woody's sup assam rebus ayam. This is a clear chicken consomme with a dash of assam to give it that special piquant flavour.
You may top up for a cocktail to go with your festive meal. I recommend the Blue Monkey concocted by Jenny. A percentage of the profit from this drink goes to support ACRES - an association that promotes animal welfare in Singapore.
