I have tried to like canned luncheon meat but the block of salty meat has never really appealed to me until this visit to Wonderful Mondays.
The 3 types of luncheon meat here - chicken, beef & fish is served with a sauce of your choice out of 15 options alongside a carb of your choice. For carbs, there's rice, dry or soup ramen, porridge and even western choices of a burger, sandwich, croissant or hotdog.
My signature sauced beef luncheon meat with ramen was delicious! Firstly, the luncheon meat wasn't the sodium laden kind and tasted very much like the actual meat. Secondly, serving it with a choice of sauce was interesting and the sauces do not to distract you from the meat flavor. Finally, the ramen texture was just right and the light garlic oil made it a good pair with the tasty meat. The overall dish was an enjoyable combination of a fulfilling but not jelak lunch.
I also ordered a side of chicken luncheon meat nuggets with salted egg sauce. It tasted more like a creamy tumeric sauce but it wasn't unpleasant.
Makan partner ordered a whole leg of ayam goreng classic and it came piping hot, juicy and crispy. The sides of beef rendang was slightly sweet but amazingly tender. The acar was alright.
Overall, Wonderful Mondays was a delightful eating experience. Plus point is that they're Muslim friendly so everyone can enjoy luncheon meat. Now if only they could do something about the ventilation of the place...
