Xin Wang HK Café: My Favourite Casual Franchised Restaurants

Xin Wang Hong Kong Café | 新旺香港茶餐厅 is one of those franchised cafes in Singapore that has firmly established itself since the first restaurant opened in 2005 in Heartland Mall. They have about 15 outlets to date in a shopping mall which you can find in many neighbourhoods in Singapore. If I see Xin Wang anywhere I go, it will mostly be my first choice. The atmosphere is usually casual in Xin Wang cafes.

For me, it is a household name that builds a reputation for medium-priced range dining in a restaurant. The prices are higher than food in hawker centres, yet lower than the cost of going to most restaurants. Over the years, I have tried a lot of their dishes from local to western food. Xin Wang HK Café will continue to remain as one of my favourite eateries that serve above-average food which never fails.

Below are a few food reviews that I have tried at Xin Wang Cafe.

I was very pleased with the Chicken Chop with Cream Spaghetti (S$11.90) as the cream sauce of the spaghetti was delicious. The portion was not enough for me because it was so delicious. I want to have more.

My friend ordered a Chicken Cutlet with Curry Ramen (S$11.90) and a Honey Lemon drink (S$ 4.90). I tried my friend’s Curry Ramen sauce. We loved the sauce as it was very tasty. My friend who had fussy taste buds agreed with me for once. I think the honey lemon drink was a bit overpriced as compared to other restaurants.

Topping up another S$ 7.90, I also got a Chinese Pork Rib Soup and a dessert. Even the taste of the Chinese soup was heavenly for such a price! At least I did not feel like drinking water as many of these soups nowadays had too much water added in it to produce more quantity to sell and compromise the quality of it.

I walked out Xin Wang forgetting about the dessert which I had not consumed. I returned to the restaurant and brought the jelly longan dessert home and ate them the next morning. I liked the dessert because the jelly was firm and not overly sweet. Some desserts had too much sugar added and tasted disgusting for me. Coupled with the sweet longan, I enjoyed my morning breakfast with just that.
