Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

I’m convinced that proper chinese or cantonese food can’t be had in singapore. This is the second xin wang I’ve been to where it seems to run the air con quite low. There’s some type of artificial taste of the soy milk.

Xin Wang Café … It’s a Hong Kong Style café serving chinese and western cuisines. My colleagues ask me to join them for lunch today and we took a bus and travel down to Anchorpoint.
This café is located at level 1 hidden up at a corner of the shopping centre. It’s real crowded during lunch hour and it’s almost full house. We are so lucky to get there early today and avoided the crowd and lucky us that we manage to get a table for 8 persons.
I order a signature fried rice and noodle and a steam pork rib from dim sum menu.
The signature dish is sparkle with a fried silver fish and it taste really awesome. I mix the silver fish together with the dishes and it taste just right. The saltiness of the fried silver fish just blend in with the dishes.
The only thing which I wanna comment is the dim sum steam pork ribs. It taste simply awful, it has a strong pork smell and oily. I nearly puke when I ate it. It’s simply not edible. The overall portion of food serve is good.
Had a great lunch today with my colleague and i do enjoy the food.

The best thing about Xin Wang is its closing time of 4am. It’s a great option for night owls. I’ve visited this outlet with friends a couple of times past midnight and it always was an enjoyable experience chatting and having something savoury to fill our stomachs at that hour.
Xin Wang burst onto the Singapore scene as the closest thing to Hong Kong’s char chan teng and for a while, their thick slabs of bread topped with peanut butter or other toppings were popular. Drinks, dim sum and Hong Kong western food are also popular items on the menu.
Nothing beats having shrimp dumpling or fried beancurd skin with a mug of milk tea when you’re hungry at 2am.

I like the fish and chips at Xin Wang as well as the papaya bee hoon soup with sweetcorn and luncheon meat. They just changed the menu recently with the addition of several new items, so I was happy to see they now have custard egg yolk buns and prawn mango roll in the dim sum category. It was quite decent though not quite restaurant standard. I also quite like the milk tea pudding, also one of their new items.
Prices are a bit steep for the drinks but the food’s not too shabby for a café, particularly since they open till 4am. They also have free Wi-​fi.

Xin Wang Hong Kong Café is not really a café, it’s just a dining place to enjoy some great Chinese food.
The menu is filled with Hong Kong, Macau and Shanghai comfort food.
Simple original recipes for a reasonable price. No frills. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share, which were ok only. I had the homemade papaya soup bee hoon as a main. Interesting combination of flavours which left me happily surprised and fulfilled.
This outlet at Anchorpoint always has some promotions going on to fill the tables during lunch. Even though it’s pretty crowded, there is always a table available.
Major disadvantage is that most of the staff only speaks Chinese, so it was difficult for me to place an order.
