Wok And Fire...





If Chinese food is what your stomach craves and your heart desires, you can’t but let them have what they want but if your pocket is in a bit of a jam and your dad’s wallet is not made accessible to you, then Wok and Fire is your destination. Situated just behind Athena furniture, resting itself on four wheels, this food cart awaits its customers. Now the specialty of this place, is that none of its food….contains salt. Yeah that’s right, no added salt, but that doesn't mean it lacks in flavor at all, if anything it tastes better than most Chinese food available.



Our visit to Wok and Fire was not planned at all. We got to know the owner of Wok and Fire during our interview at Kiva Han and he graciously welcomed us over to his food cart. As I've mentioned in our earlier blog, we had a very interesting conversation with Mr. Ziaul Alam, people should know how different food tastes like and how the food is originally supposed to be but instead we try to blend and mix the tastes with our own native flavors in a way ruin the specialty of that food. Instead of complaining how undercooked authentic Chinese food is, people should have the realization that Chinese food is meant to be like that. 


The taste buds of our country are accustomed to a wide variety of seasoning and flavors therefore we end up wanting all that, from every single bite that we take and if we don't like it, we pass around a comment that the food wasn't good. What doesn't seem tasty to you might very well be delicious to other people. But do we actually take that thought into consideration? The Chicken Chow Mein that we tasted, was absolutely delicious, we didn't even feel the need for salt and the best part, was that it was on the house!!! I even took some home for my mother to taste and she loved it. Another interesting thing was their use of sporks, it's not really that widely used in Bangladesh.


To every yin, there is a yang but in this case, it’s more like room for improvement. We know it’s a food cart and what more can we really expect than good food at a cheap price, but the dustbin really needs some improvement….. :P
