WALKING WOK 07545 706 681 | www.walkingwok.co.uk Lily Indra, the owner of Walking Wok in Bury St Edmunds, brings you delicious dishes found in the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia. “Born and brought up in the state of Sabah in North Borneo, my cooking reflects the traditions of the multi-ethnic population of Malays, Chinese, Indians and Borneans, as well as influences from Thai, Portuguese and British cuisines,” says Lily. “Malaysian cuisine is highly diverse, offering a rich variety of dishes to suit every palate. There’s succulent chicken or duck, tender pork or lamb, tasty beef or a range of delicious seafood dishes to choose from. If you like tasty food but you’re worried it may be too spicy, don’t worry! I blend each sauce to meet my clients’ requirements, from tasty and mild to very hot and spicy. “Walking Wok has developed a range of delicious vegetarian and vegan options, as well as catering to various allergies and intolerances. My interest in food started when I was just eight years’ old. My family were farmers, so I’m well acquainted with sourcing raw, healthy ingredients for my delicious meals. My elder sister had a flourishing restaurant in Malaysia, where she worked as an assistant chef, cooking authentic Malaysian food. With years of experience, I know how to combine dishes that offer clients an ideal menu to suit their culinary palate. You can choose – hot, spicy, sour or tangy, creamy and rich or aromatic and fruity. The diverse range of dishes allows you to choose a menu to tantalise the taste buds of even the most cautious guest. “Walking Wok have catered for many events, from a small dinner gathering for six people at their house to more than 150 people at a wedding in London, and we are happy to travel further afield if required. We also hold cooking lessons in various Asian cuisine – the “piggy bao buns” one is particularly popular! “No two people are the same, and no two events are the same. Whether small and intimate or large and grand, I can find out what’s important to you and tailor your menu accordingly. Walking Wok is not just about Malaysian food; it is all about enjoying the complete gastronomic experience.” CATERING AND DRINKS 53
