Xin Wang Hongkong Cafe . Ph

Nice, an outlet of XinWang Hongkong Cafe here in Ph. It's in MOA. I've come to know this cafe during my trips in Singapore. At Sg, there's one at Bukit Timah right outside the gate of my friend's village where I would stay everytime I visit the lion city. Hence, that branch became our default dining place when we wish to eat near.

Similar to the one I know in Sg, this one in MOA has a happy vibe interior. A mix of pop art walls, zen tables and Chinese ceiling.

Interested to check if the menu was exactly the same with the one at Sg. I saw familiar dishes and decided to try some that I haven't yet..

.. but I made sure to introduce to older daughter, this giant mango snow ice which personally has been my favorite from this cafe.



This was mine in Sg.. Compare, compare to..

..hers in Ph. No doubt o.daughter whose taste seems to be a twin of mine, likes it too. Ofcourse,  it was too big for her and didn't finish it. She immediately thought of her sole sister who was at home that time.The attentive server suggested to box the left over for take home. It arrived home melted ofcourse but a little freezing and the mango snow ice got back to its form. Not the way it has been plated thu', but definitely my younger daughter enjoyed the rest of it.

deep fried mango n' prawn roll. With green salad I always love the combination of mango and shrimp. I took a bite of the roll and realized I'd stick with the combi on salad. I needed some dip to finish the rest of the roll and ask a server for some. He said it is eaten w/o like that. I didn't like it.

black pepper chicken chop n' french fries. This was my daughter's plate. I forked a little of the chicken and it was ok. Edible but nothing to rave about. Daughter like it thu'. Oh well, she was hungry, she would like anything on the table.

I ordered a bamboo rice. wt#!!! I forgot a promise I made to myself that I won't have any bamboo rice again after the mistake I made of having one here.



Hk braised beef brisket bamboo rice. A rice topping dish with beef brisket. The rice I was thinking, I would share with my daughter since her dish had no rice and she wanted some rice. But the rice, we didn't like. It was mixed with dried small shrimp ( I think it's called "hebe" in tagalog ). I am never a rice person, I don't know what came to me to order a bamboo rice, haha. Again, wasted!



Even in Singapore, I couldn't remember enjoying the food at Xin Wang Cafe, except for the snow ice. In fairness, in MOA branch, service was the best!

Xin Wang Hongkong Cafe

I've seen lots of Hongkong cafes in Singapore. During my recent visit to this lion city, we ate again at Xin Wang Hongkong Cafe in Bukit Timah Road which was the branch nearest to the place I stayed in. It was actually located right outside the gate of the village where my friend resides. By its name you would think that it is serving strictly Chinese cuisine, actually the menu is a fusion of Asian and Western cuisines.



My carnivore brother had this beef slices sunk in a steamy sauce and partially covered with pork floss.

My friend had this boring plate of rice and porkchops.

I missed noodles being served from this side of Asia, so I had meat and noodles. .

with sweet & sour dip on the side which made this dish so tasty.

All dishes were served  with pudding _ which none of us liked. Pudding here was too bland for our sweet teeth.



Longan juice was the best thu'. I always envy how big longans are in other country. At home, longans available are only half the size of their longans here.



Ofcourse, I never missed their famous snow ice which was sooo huge!!!
Nah, I didn't finish it all by myself, I had to ask my brother to help me finish it. It was so yummy thu'.
