Thoughts: WOK HEY, a popular brand that started in 新加坡 Singapore back in 2017 and known as masters of 煮炒 Tze Char ("Zir Char" in Hokkien dialect or Stir Fry), AND 煮炒 Stir Fry is one of Singapore's favorite ways of eating where a mish mash of local dishes are cooked to order and eaten communally, commonly found in Kopitiam and 新加坡小販中心 Singapore's hawker centers. This fast-casual, convenient, take-out kiosk concept by "WOK HEY", was awarded the title of Singapore’s Best Fried Rice, and the Most Innovative F&B Brand (Multiple Outlets) by Restaurant Association of Singapore in 2021. To-date, WOK HEY has over 30 locations in Singapore. AND recently opened their very first overseas outlet in Sunway Pyramid in mid-January 2022!
Inspired by Cantonese-style cooking, each dish is cooked in front of the customer behind the kiosk windows, and cooked in modern Cantonese-style cooking (with 电磁感应炒锅 Electric Induction Woks!). The signature dishes comes out of WOK HEY are customized induction stoves, that can generate intense and consistent heat over a shorter period of time, which also helps in speed and efficiency of every order. Not only it is said to be environmentally friendly, it is said to also create a better working environment for the chefs!
Singapore's Trendiest Asian Stir-Fry "WOK HEY" in Sunway Pyramids offers 4 distinct mains, with choices of 雞蛋炒飯 Egg Fried Rice, 上海炒飯 Shanghai Fried Rice, 新鮮烏冬面 Fresh Udon or 新鮮拉麵 Fresh Ramen. Next is 3 different meat types: 烤雞 Grilled chicken, 紅燒牛肉 Braised beef and 調味蝦 Seasoned prawns. Then you can go crazy with the add-ons at RM1.50 per Add-Ons including of variety of 蘑菇 mushrooms and 蔬菜 vegetables! AND yes, decide on spicy or not spicy OR not spicy with the chili on the side. Dinner today is WOK HEY's rm$14.80 "上海炒飯紅燒牛肉 Shanghai Fried Rice w/Braised Beef" with Chili on the side, but the dish is probably best consume Dine-in when fresh out from the Kitchen when the sigature Wok Hey can be best appreciated! 
鍋氣 WOK HEY's fried rice or noodles comes in a Stereotypical Chinese food take-away paper box containers often seen in American movies and sitcoms likes the "Big Bang Theory"! Although in recent years, some restaurants have moved to plastic or Styrofoam, BUT I suppose consumers still feels that it taste better in the paper-box containers. This style of Chinese-takeout container popular in USA, is however really a uniquely American invention. And it is the inventor in 芝加哥 Chicago, Mr Frederick Weeks Wilcox patented a version of what he called a “紙桶 paper pail" on November 13, 1894. His invention is a single piece of paper with its 日本摺紙 Japanese-influenced origami folds, creased into segments and folded into a (more or less) leakproof container secured with a dainty wire handle on top. Although WOK HEY's box container did not come with a wire handle on top!
