Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe (Whitesands)

Open 24 hours on the weekends and till 2am on weekdays, Xin Wang HK cafe has opened 10 separate outlets in Singapore since its inception in 2007 and has also expanded its operations overseas.

Location: Pasir Ris Central Street 3 #01-14 Singapore 518457

Contact: 65833611

Website: http://www.xinwang.com.sg

Price range: $10-20 per head

Cold Water ($0.40++)

For the record, i really dislike paying for water at a restaurant. Its water, in Singapore, the tap water is safe for drinking so yeah, paying for water is a bad idea.
Seafood Hor Fun ($9.80)

The seafood hor fun came with generous portions of squid, shrimps and beansprouts. Its a little salty but otherwise, rather decent.
Shrimp Roll ($2.50)

Oily and very crispy but tasty and sinful in equal measure.
Custard Bun ($2.50)

There's too much dough and not enough custard in these buns. Add the fact that its extremely oily and you have the recipe for disaster.
Pork Chop Baked Rice

The pork chop baked rice is a mixed bag. On one hand, i like the cheese and sourish tomato sauce mixed with rice, on the other hand, the pork chop is too tough to bite. Add them together for an average dish.
Bill

The bill after discount and a voucher to have a free main course of the same value turned up at $17.85.

Ambiance: 6.5/10
Service: 6/10
Food: 6/10
Value for money: 6/10
Overal Score: 6/10 (not an average)

Last word:
It wasn't a bad meal by any chance but the full value of that meal would have been $30 if it included the cost for the pork chop baked rice. And i really wouldn't find paying that amount worthwhile.
