觉得酸菜多了点,有点偏酸。倒是汤很浓郁,喝了肚子暖暖的,舒服!

微辣但香脆的辣子鸡,大人小孩都爱吃。盘中四粒不熟悉的蛋黄,尝过后才惊喜的发现,原来它是像蛋但不是蛋的芒果布丁!!Burpple 会员享受20%折扣。(工作日30%)

The Beijing Duck here is quite authentic. Ordered the 酸菜鱼 (Braised Barramundi with Pickled Cabbage and Chilli) and 辣子鸡 too just to make up the variety. Worth a visit especially with the 20% from Burpple Beyond.

Filling was good, in fact better than chin sin huan because this one doesn't contain egg. However the same problem with the thick bao on top

I'm glad I tried tanjong rhu, because now I can say for sure chin sin huan is the best, by a mile

Their filling is good also. Strong, sweet, but not quite as smoky as chin sin huan.

However the bao is too thick on top. Also the temperature is too hot. And bao wasn't fluffy

Chin sin huan wins, by far. No wonder they started their own thing lmao

Here is what we ordered:
-Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce
-HK Style curry chicken
-XW Signature Fried Noodle

I was expecting the curry chicken to be the soup kind, but it was the thicker gravy type! Wished they had given more chicken curry gravy though! We finished up the sauce faster than the ingredients! Loved the soft mashy potatoes and the addition of the crispy taukee skin! As for the fried noodle, I thought it will be like Hong Kong Noodle kind of texture, but this was more like a Chinese ramen kind of texture, abit strange!

TungLok Teahouse in Square 2 lets you savour the best of Hong Kong cha chaan teng cuisine and Cantonese dim sum in nostalgic setting.

As it's my second time to try it out for pan fried bun on ($7.80) another store. I decided to order with prawn and pork combination on the platter. I think pork really taste normal but prawn taste much better than pork tbh.

come with Special Scallion Oil Noodles, Drink, Pan Fried Bun. ($9.80) Decided to try same stuff previously. It's so good and delicious for the pan fried bun and inside filling. I also got burn my tongue due to hot soup broth filled inside pan fried bun.

Xin Wang Hong Kong Café had opened a new outlet at Novena for quite awhile already, but it is my first time dining in there ever since covid!

Got the fragrant spicy char siew fried rice ($9.80++)! It took quite awhile before the food got served (as compared to other dishes like the instant noodle which my dining companion got). First impression, the fried rice was really fragrant, and not too spicy! Almost like a sambal fried rice! However, the char siew was TOO FATTY TO MY LIKING! There was barely any lean meat for me to eat, 80% of it was fats! So although it was well charred and grilled, the pathetic amount of lean meat makes me not want to eat this again.

But if ou are fans of fatty char siew, do give it a go!
