Juhu's new Thai and Chinese take-away joint has a name that means, "are you on a diet?" the goodies we got packed tasted fresh even hours after they were cooked

Ashish Seth of Wai Yu Mun Ching is busy getting new menus printed because the earlier ones featured pork and beef. "I was drawing too much flak. Now, instead of pork and beef, the new menu features Thai dishes that will be whipped up by a chef I have flown in from Thailand," says the entrepreneur behind the recently opened Juhu take-away joint. Soon, Ashish plans to cater to the health-conscious foodie by introducing nutritional options like brown rice. "A small seating area is on the cards next," he says.



We weren't sure what to pick from the vast menu that Ashish handed to us, so we asked him to whip us some specials. Our carry away package consisted of Crispy Corn Water Chestnut (Rs 110), Chicken in Oyster Chilli Sauce (Rs 180), Paneer in Chilly Sauce (Rs 130), Veg Thai Fried Rice (Rs 130), Pad Ki Mao Noodles (Rs 150) and Chicken dumplings, all packed with chopsticks in tow.

And we weren't disappointed. The Chicken Dumplings were well-cooked and sumptuous, even though we sampled them three hours after we picked them up. Ditto for the rest of the food; it tasted fresh. The Thai Fried Rice and the Pad Ki Mao Noodles are good veggie options, and go well with Paneer. The Chicken in Oyster Sauce was particularly yummy; a must-order when you are famished in the middle of a working day.
