Wok Boyz | Asian Street Food in Dubai Internet City
Over the weekend, we decided to stop by at Dubai Internet City and make the most of the outdoor season sitting by their lake. And we obviously felt hungry in a bit, so we walked into Wok Boyz for some Asian Street Food.
I’ve always loved the concept of “make your own wok”, so this was something I was definitely looking forward to. Wok Boyz offers a compact 2 page menu which lets you choose from your preferred base, protein, veggies, sauce and toppings. They also have some signature appetizers and their best-selling coconut water to cool down the heat.
Vegetable Spring Rolls – Crispy and filling, these are great as starters or when you really want something to munch on.
Spicy Korean Wings – A little messy, especially when you are eating with hand, the sauce in these Korean wings is to die for. Spicy, yes, but still finger licking awesome, these are a must have.
Prawn Tempura – Classic in every way, this is my comfort food. If you love prawns, then definitely order these and you won’t be disappointed.
Coconut Water – I have always had an affinity for coconut water from the subcontinent more than that of South-East Asia. Although a little too sweet for me, if you like Thai coconut water, then go for this one.
Wok 1
Our first wok was Jasmine rice with Chicken Thai Green Curry. I can never not order Thai green curry if I see it on a menu. And especially when it comes to making your own woks, I love both the freshness and the quantity. And also the fact that I can just grab my box and dig into it at my own pace. I opted for the classic jasmine rice that pairs just right with the curry and added a bunch of vegetables and toppings. The curry was absolutely fab. Done just right in terms of flavor and texture, it had a hint of spiciness and a lovely coconutty taste to it.
Wok 2
For our second wok, we tried Egg noodles with Prawns and Indonesian Heat sauce. I have constantly been craving the spicy Indonesian sauce ever since my trip to Bali in 2016. So when I see Indonesian sauce on the menu, I have to try it, just to see if it matches the same taste. Well, although this didn’t replicate the taste of what I had back in Bali, it was quite good nonetheless. The prawns were really fresh and when combined with the spicy sambal, they gave a lovely flavor, which was neither too hot, nor too salty. I liked the combination of egg noodles with this sauce, but I am guessing rice would be a better option.

Mention “Make Your Own Wok” and I am instantly game. I loved the sheer choice of protein, veggies and carbs that Wok Boyz offered. My favorite was the classic combination of Thai Green Chicken Curry with Jasmine Rice, but I can’t wait to go back and try all the other combinations too. Don’t forget to try out their Spicy Korean Wings – they are a must have!
