Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

As the place is not crowded, we decide to drop for a quick brunch before rushing off to bring JJ for class. The café is open concept and has quite a huge dining in area.
Although we get the choice of table, it is also the start of a sad meal. Firstly we are told by the staff that credit card is not accepted as the machine is down. Although it is just past 10am, the staff keeps pressuring us to order as they will change menu by 11am. In the end we order breakfast items before 11am. I make a quick view at the normal menu and have found the items available are available in the normal menu in same prices. Do not know what is the rush. So upsetting. Another thing why we choose this restaurant is that it offers free wifi. But we cannot login no matter how we try. Guess the machine must be down too.
Ham Bo Lo Bun ($ 4.90++)
Looks not bad, but quite messy to handle.
Sampan Congee ($ 9.50++)
It is porridge with cuttle fish, sliced fish, sliced pork and braised peanuts in it. The braised peanuts reminds me of the canned version found in supermarket. Father does not quite take to the texture of the porridge. He says that it is like baby food with its mushy texture.
Pork Chop, Egg, Toast ‘N’ French Fries ($ 8.50++)
The pork chop is tough and difficult to slice through.
Seafood ‘N’ Sliced Pork Macaroni Soup ($ 8.50++)
There is barely any flavour in the soup. Quite a plain dish to have.
French Toast with Ice Cream ($ 6.50++)
The toast is not crispy enough and slice through with the rather blunt knife given. The ice cream tastes like the supermaket type.
As my parents remember that the café serves cold drinks in metal cups which reminds one of prison, we orders hot drinks.
Milo ($ 1.90++)
Kopi ($ 1.70++)
Overall the food is nothing to shout and has pre-​cooked in advance feel.

The Family ate here our first night in Singapore. The Wife had just taking The Prodigal Son to Raffles Medical unit and were starving after their appointment. The Princess and I walked all around North Point until we found Xin Wang. We walked everywhere too! All up and down and all the floors. I swear, I had to drag The Princess away from the arcade on the top floor. I made an empty promise to take her back after dinner. Maybe at the end of the week.
We all sat down and started ordering food. The Princess ordered the fried chicken and refused to eat it after it arrived. ARGH!!! Cobra ordered the Seafood Hotpot and Wonton Soup. The Wife ordered some Beef Chow Fun. The chicken was great. Seafood Hot Pot was okay and the wonton soup was way below par.
The restaurant is fairly large and was at 50% capacity on a Tuesday night. Dinner ran around 30 Dollars.

I visited this restaurant twice and sadly, it has disappointed me twice. For both times, I found weird stuff in my food. First it was hair. Then, it was a small ‘Epson’ sticker label inside my baked rice. I mean, how in the world will a sticker label get inside the a kitchen, let alone into the baking dish?! This really makes me doubt the hygiene standards of the café.
Food-​wise, if I discount my weird findings, I would say the taste is pretty bland. The only thing that is worth having would be the signature iced yuan-​yang. Having said that, I haven’t patronize that branch since then.
