Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe ( Yishun ) (Marina square ,)

Was at Yishun for my gf's friend's baby's one month party yesterday (01112009) and chanced upon this outlet hidden in the newly opened Northpoint wing.

The decor looks better then usual with wide open spaces and was bristling with customers and activity which thus also lead to me consenting to give it a try.

My gf had a coupon for $10 of a main dish with the Xin Wang card and our orders are as follows:

HK Cheese Baked Pork chop spagghetti - This wasn't too bad. The tomato is more sourish then sweet while the pork chop was a little hard. Spaggheti was plentiful however and this was actually quite overwhelming after a while.

Shrimp Dumplings - I found this rather good actually. Fresh, crunchy and sweet prawns basically make this dish good.

Pork Pastry - This was average as the pastry is not fragrant. The pork within is alright however, warm and sweet.

Pork Chop burger - I found this to be the least worthwhile item we ordered. The pork chop had a big layer of fats but was thankfully tender while the "burger" was made using toasted white bread. Overall, get rid of the fats and its acceptable but hardly worth $4.90. Mcdonalds fare better for the price.

Overall bill came to $12.90 after the $10 discount.

Honestly, this branch is better then the others i've tried but i still find it overpriced for the simple fare they provide. Our conclusion for why this is better is because, being a new branch, we theorised that probably the executive chef was on the location which thus resulted in the difference in quality.
