Taking a ‘Wok’ on the Spicy Side

Strolling through the crowds and stores at Ala Moana Center can work up quite the appetite. For those who simply cannot wait until they get home to eat, there is a delicious and healthy option located just adjacent to Macy’s.

California Wok has been serving the freshest in Chinese cuisine to Hawaii residents since 2001. The eatery makes a point of using only low-sodium soy sauces and 100 percent cholesterol-free canola oil in their edible creations — welcome news for the health-conscious crowd.

One restaurant dish that may make you stop in your tracks is Curry Chicken. Reasonably priced at $7.45 for the small portion and $10.49 for the large portion, the dish is filled with bell peppers, white onions, carrots and white meat chicken. More importantly, the ingredients form a nice, even blend of flavor and spice.

“There is a bit of spice, but not too much,” says owner Winnie Li. “It is a pretty new item, but just like everything else, it is very healthy and very popular.”

Curry Chicken is served with a side of white rice and a fortune cookie. California Wok is also more than willing to prepare a milder version of curry upon request.
