Xin Wang Hong Kong Café has just reopened recently with a new look after been closed for some times for upgrading. It is a hot favourite place with the young people as it opens till 2am everyday.
The red coloured booth seats are gone, replaced with new light blue seats. The former red and black decoration is now replaced with woody look, which makes the place looks fresh and bigger.
The menu now has a new colourful look, with the same items as before. There is also another new menu with new items too.
Sour Plum Coke ($4.90++) is one of the new items offered in the new menu. It is actually normal coke, served with ice cubes and sour plum in a plastic jar. It tastes like normal coke but with sour plum aftertaste.
Coconut Cream with Sago ($7.90++) is listed as a warm dessert on the menu. Served in a hot coconut, we are disappointed to taste cold coconut cream inside. The coconut cream with sago tastes like bo bo cha cha but without the sweet potato and yam cubes. The coconut flesh tastes a bit old.
As mom wants to try the bamboo rice, we order a HK Steamed Chicken 'N' Mushroom Bamboo Rice ($8.90++). The chicken is quite soft and flavourful, and goes well with the black soya sauce rice below.
Dad has requested for Mango 'N' Pomelo Cream ($6.90++) which turns to be an interesting dessert. In a big cup of shaved ice, topped with a scoop of ice-cream, mango cubes, pomelo flesh and cutes little white pearls. As one bites into the white pearls, pomelo juice bursts into the mouth. What a feeling.
At first during ordering, I have asked the staff what is the different between HK Famous Cheese Baked Pork Chop Cream Sauce Spaghetti ($11.90) and HK Famous Cheese Baked Pork Chop Spaghetti ($11.90). The staff has replied that latter does not have spaghetti, which makes us all ever more blur than ever. In the end another staff comes along and replies that latter does not have cream sauce. It quite a cheesy dish, with a very tender pork chop.
This XW Special Stir-fried Spare Ribs Bee Hoon($10.90++) takes the longest time to arrive. The spare ribs tastes like the canned version as the bones and meat are very soft (characteristics of canned version). The bee hoon is very flavourful, but coupled with the spare ribs it becomes a bit too salty.
As the bill exceeds $50 (before GST and service charge), when making payment by DBS credit card, one is given a free beancurd. Please note that this promotion is only DBS credit card. It tastes quite smooth and it topped with mango cubes. The taste of the beancurd is similar to the new trend of bean curd such as Lao Ban.Overall the staffs are quite helpful and friendly. But the order of the food been served has much to be talked about, as the dessert are served much earlier than the mains. Maybe the kitchen has much to improve on its timing.
