Decide to dine at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe for some decent Asian dinner one night, service wasn't as efficient as we were waiting at the queue for quite awhile despite seeing empty tables, this outlet always seem to be short-staffed. So anyway I've got myself the Sliced Fish & Egg Papaya Soup Noodle ($8-10), couldn't remember the exact price.

So anyway I've got myself the Sliced Fish & Egg Papaya Soup Noodle ($8-10), couldn't remember the exact price. The light soup base was savoury with hint of sweet papaya taste and the dish also comes with hard boiled egg which I believe would be better if it's its half boiled, the corn and sliced fish was okay. I wouldn't order again because it's something I believe I can easily whip up at home.
My friend got the Macau Style Fried Noodle ($6.90), it's not that awesome but at least it was flavorful in a reasonably generous amount. But then again I wouldn't order this next time because it kind of has the instant noodle feel to it though.
Despite some disappointments, there's always room for desserts! My friend and I shared the famous XW Special Mango Snow Ice ($6.90) which is always one of the must order in their menu. As you can see, the portion is generously sufficient even to be shared, we couldn't finish it. The mango sauce were not too sweet and the mango bits and ice cream compliments well together.
A suggestion to this place? A huge improvement they can make is to serve customers sitting at the same table their orders together. From past experiences, my friend and I would always have to start eating first before all our orders come together, it's kind of disappointing at that part. Menu and service level can also be worked on. Overall, the reasons I still return are because of convenience and the restaurant's operating hours. Would be nice to see more improvements in the near future.
