Now that we are fully retired we are finding ourselves going out to eat with friends and family. I don’t feel like I am cooking quite as much. Last week we went out for Mexican food with our good friends Randy and Rosalie who are also retired. This week we decided on Chinese food at one of Randy and Rosalie’s favorite places. We tend to leave the house around 3:30 to beat the dinner crowds and the past few times we have gone out we have found ourselves ordering several appetizer’s and Sharing, we did the same when we went to Wok the Wok in Hampton NH. Wok The Wok is located at 7 Ocean Blvd. in Hampton NH. It’s just across the street from Hampton Beach.
We started with one of Rosalie’s favorite drinks from Wok The Wok, 3 of us had the Mai Tai’s and Randy opted for a glass of red wine. The mai Tai’s are made with orange juice pineapple juice and 2 types of rum.
They were absolutely the perfect way to start our afternoon.
We ordered all appetizers except the coconut shrimp, it’s a house special and one of Rosalie’s family favorite dishes. I can see why, this shrimp dish was delicious. It was lightly battered jumbo shrimp cooked in a sweet sauce then topped with a creamy coconut sauce. Crispy and sweet in every bite.
We also had the appitizer size portion of the Dan Dan Noodles. Let me say these pack a punch! This was my first time having this dish but won’t be my last. They definitely have a lot of spice but there is also a slight cooling Taste of peanut butter in the sauce. Delicious!
All of our dishes came out at the same time but these scallion pancakes became Jim’s new favorite dish after just one bite. They are crispy on the outside, a little chewy on the inside and served with a sesame dipping sauce adding a little salty bite to the scallion pancakes.
We also had an order of Beef Teriyaki, this happens to be one of Randy’s and mine favorite dishes. These did not disappoint. Lots of teriyaki flavor and cooked to perfection. These were some of the best I have had.
And last but not least we ordered the pork fried rice to round off our meal! The rice pulled all of our dishes together perfectly. Our plates were full and our bellies fuller! Believe it or not we had very little left over. Not one complaint, everything we had was fabulous. Wok the Wok is open 7 days a week. You can find the full menu and prices on line.
After eating such a big meal we decided to walk it off at Hampton Beach state park that is just across the street from Wok The Wok on a gorgeous spring day. If you are cruising through Hampton give Wok the Wok a try you won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy!
