HOngKong: Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe


All in all , i have made 3 visits there .Initially the hype was pretty there. Nice decor and everyone was talking about Xin Wang.Had to be there to try!

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe
6 Raffles Boulevard,
#01-04/05
Marina Shopping Centre
Tel 6337-5297.

**They have 2 restaurants (if I remember correctly),one in Kovan , one in Marina Square. All 3 occasions i was @ Marina Square Branch.
No official website it seems.

First Visit

Was with there with X.She was the one who told me of this new eating place.
We had:

1.Siew Mai SGD2.5
2.Special Shrimp Har Gow SGD2.5
3.C.B.Rice w chicken Chop SGD8.9
4.Soup Noodle with Spicy Pork SGD5.9
5.Ice H.K Milk Tea SGD2.9

Total Damage: SGD 26.25

I would say for a first visit , I was absolutely fancinated.The restaurant was bright and spacious , a departure from its previous tenant , Hans.

I had the Soup noodle with spicy pork , which is the 'Ba Ding'.Nothing Special , we could possibily replicate the dish ourselves.X had the baked rice , she says its nice.

A sucker for Dimsum , I insisted on having the Dim Sum.i would say the Dim Sums were ok , as long as they came piping hot .

Second Visit

The second visit was a late lunch , so more of dim sum!They sure look appertising.I think their dim sum , though not exceptionally something to rave about , wasn't bad either.

Bill came up to SGD30 for 3.Ehh..not so acceptable by my standards.

Third Visit

Went there again last night.After a day of hunger , I set my heart on having Rice!Ordered the 'Macau Style' Fried Rice.Big Portion! Comes with luncheon meat & some veggies.Kinda like it.The rice was sweet and had tomato aftertaste , which appealed to me.

W had Pork Chop with Fries.From his expression I guess he was expecting more with the food.By the way , they charge 40c for a glass of water.

The presentation sure makes ones goes *Slurps* though.

It gets kinda boring after these visits ,so guess it will be some time before I get back there.

***A little tip here from W.
If you have not had a proper meal and feeling super hungry , do not order any rice.Instead try having some soupy dishes as it would help to whet one's appetite.
Not sure how effective, have not personally gave it a try :P Do tell me if it works!
