[CLOSED] Xin Wang Hong Kong Café (Jem)

Portion is good for 3 I feel. It's milk tea flavoured and honestly decent enough, with jelly(pretty good texture), peanuts, nata de Coco, salted corn, and vanilla ice cream. Really above expectations alr lol. Interesting the vanilla ice cream combines with the rest to give a mint aroma occasionally

XW Signature Wanton noodle soup ($10.90)
Waiting time during dinner hour: >30min

The taste and smell of the egg/ yellow noodles was too strong. Although their dumplings were huge filled with chewy prawn but we're quite tasteless.
What was good ? Their sambal chilli sauce!

This is quite good. The price is $11.5 (excluding 17.7% GST and service charge).

Had a nice steamboat set today at $14.80++. Rice additional charge of $1.50++. Had the payaya soup. The set consists of vegetables, some meatballs, pork and tanghun. 🙂 Not the cheapest but still affordable. Free refill of soup. It would be my alternative to hai di lao and good for my pockets whenever i feel like dipping food and enjoying a pot of hot soup.

I had approximately 30 mins to rush through dinner but it was a pleasant experience (I'll talk about that later). Food came fast. Noodles were springy and cooked with tomato sauce (that caught me off-guard but hey, Macau right, what was I expecting?). Pork chop was great. Tender, juicy and crispy at the same time. $13.50 inclusive of GST.

I was seated facing the counter and noticed the employees at work. One person stood out - the waiter who served me. He was prompt, attentive, quietly hardworking, fast and basically all over the restaurant serving people, making drinks, taking orders, etc. He served my plate with one hand behind his back and a bow. Woah, and I'm usually not easily impressed by people. I am amazed at the way he never stopped, and he was consistently courteous and smiley. So even though I don't make it a point to review anything else apart from the food, this time, I have to. 4.9/5 for service by Mr. Zhi Wei.

Watermelon and ice jelly ($5.90). Can always depend on #xinwang for efficient service, good variety and affordable cuisine. My sis @yeojess and I have a goal to order something different every time we visit.
