Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room

On warm nights, you just want to spend your time in shopping centres and have dinner there too.
This was dinner a few nights ago at Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room at IMM.


Are you a chicken wing fan? If you are, you might want to try their chicken wings here. The next time you walk pass this store while shopping at IMM, you would notice that most tables order this. The every popular Prawn Paste Chicken (in 3s for $5.50).

This was one very addictive fried chicken!





This was the Wan Chai Special Fried Rice $6.50
Ham slices and asparagus slices.
It comes with a bowl of the daily soup which is very heart (and tummy) warming ;-P




The Spare Ribs with Black Beans rice. $6.20
Not too bad. Comes with their complimentary soup too.




The Minced Pork & Salted Fish $6.20
They might be a bit too generous with the salted fish on the day we ordered it. Unless you likes things very salty, order something else. Comes with a bowl of soup too!




The Teriyaki Beef with Onion and Mushroom. $6.80
The beef was tender and the did I tell you before that I love onions?
Oh yes, also with a bowl of soup. ;-P




The place seems to be very popular. The queue is long but it moves rather quickly. Most people just "sit, eat and go" here. After their quick dinner, it's time to walk around window shopping and enjoying the air-con. The mum/aunties will go grocery shopping at Giant!

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe @ Orchard Cineleisure

Last week, went to watch Red Cliff 2 with a bunch of friends. The movie was at 7, so we could not have dinner first because everyone was rushing from work.

So after the movie, it was after nine, and we were all quite famish. (we still had appetite after all the bloodshed in the movie. haha..) We did not want to walk around, and the nearest food place that can seat the 10 of us was Xin Wang.


There are the 10 of us, but not everything we ordered was err nice. Everyone had lots of complaints and funny looks when the food came. But anyway, here's some of the food photos.

This curry is nice, thick and fragrant. Yes, only the curry. LOL...
The chicken, they are kind of tasteless. We passed the chicken around to a few person, and those who tried it said this chicken's most probably boiled separately and added in later. Sigh..



Well, the curry is not too bad, so you can still eat the curry (without the chicken) with rice.



Or if you like their soft bread. This bread is soft and nice and it sucks the curry like a piece of sponge. :-)



This peanut butter toast looks nicer. The person who ate it did not complain, so should be good.



This is what the 4 of us at one corner shared. The "ice kacang". (Forgot the name on the menu).
It's really huge! The people around us were looking at it.



Not sure about you all, but we are one of those who like to play with out food.
We pretend our spoons are excavators and we dig holes all around. This is the tunnel part.



This is the other side of the ice kacang. Our other friend digs from the top down. :-)



Then suddenly, the structure gave way, and our ice kacang collapsed! Aiyah!



Think this place is ok for desserts and toast. For food in this branch, only if you are really hungry. There's a lot of people here because it closes late. (24 hours on weekends)

We observed something though. When we went in, I think the average age of the people dining must have gone up by 5 years. haha...
(sigh, we are old....)

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe @ Anchorpoint

On Sunday night, we needed to get something from Ikea, so we thought we would have dinner at Ikea as well. When we got there, we realize that Ikea at Alexandra is under renovation. The restaurant's closed!

So, we crossed the overhead bridge to get to Anchorpoint. Bad timing, everywhere's so packed! The food court's so packed, even KFC has no seats. Not really interested in other food, so we walked into Xin Wang just beside KFC. We got ushered to an empty table.



Bro has noodles. Very instant noodles right? That's my impression of HK Cafe noodles, and this reinforces it. LOL



Sis had chicken chop with rice instead. An egg is hidden below the chicken.



For me? I had Pork Curry. The curry looks sinful ya? It is! LOL. But it was nice. Sis had this curry over her rice too.



The rice came with achar. Hmmm, looks very fusion eh?



Missing the Ikea chicken wings etc, and no way I am traveling all the way to the Tampines branch to eat it. I shall wait....

Central Hong Kong Cafe @ Takashimaya Shopping Centre

This afternoon, a few colleagues had something to settle, so we followed them to Ngee Ann City. Just nice, another colleague who is on reservist pop by too, for a meeting. So, we set off to town in two cars, and had to quickly enter the CBD before 12 to avoid the ERP. LOL..

We settled to eat at Central. This place used to have 'snaking' queue, but when we were there, it was quite empty. We also heard that food here's not as salty as it used to be when it first opened. haha..

After we finish, people checking out the menu.



I had the Stewed Beef noodles. The bowl looked unique! hahaa..



Two colleagues ate the beef kuey teow.



One ate the Pork Chop tomato with sunny side up rice. She had to wait quite long though...



Two other colleagues had the fried rice. Actually, they did not know it would be fried rice! haha.. It was suppose to be Roast Pork something rice, but err, what Roast Pork. LOL..
I guess it looked tasty too.



After that, we split up into two groups, with 2 colleagues went to settle their stuff, while the other had their meeting at Coffee Bean. *boring* *yawn* haha...

Wong Kok Char Chan Teng @ Bugis Junction (2)

Continuation from yesterday's post....

We had this to share amongst the 6 of us. Sorry, did not really get the name, but it is wrapped with bacon and it taste not bad. It does not really look the same in the menu picture though. haha..



Uncle had this: Fried spaghetti with pork fillet in "hong kong" style. Looks very plain, but he says it is good. (except he is no pea eater... haha..) The pork fillet is mixed inside, the menu had it in a piece on top.



Cousin had braised chicken and potato with shanghai style veg rice.



The cousin we had not met for some time had Cheese baked rice with chicken chop.
He seems to enjoy it, so I guess it's good.



This is what I had: Roasted honey spare ribs shanghai style veg. rice. Pretty decent.



Aunt had Shanghai noodle with minced pork and potato. She said it looked boring. haha..



Sis had HK stirred noodle with honey spare ribs. Very instant noodles right? I think most HK Cafe does this instant noodles thingy.



That's it. Actually, I am now going to have some instant noodles after looking at the last photo above.

Wong Kok Char Chan Teng @ Bugis Junction

This afternoon, we met up with another cousin we had not seen in a long time. Sis also wanted to stop by NLB after lunch to visit her student's pushcart thingy, so we settled to have lunch at Bugis.

Walking around Bugis Junction, we realised that there's lots of chnages. Shows that we have not been here for the longest time. The basement food places have all moved to the 3rd floor!

Anyway, we saw this and walked in. Wong Kok Char Chan Teng.



Not sure if you feel it, all the Char Chan Teng loves exaggeration. tall glasses of cold drinks, big mugs of hot drinks, gigantic toast etc...

Well, we did have tall glass of Ying Yang, mix of coffee and tea.



This is another glass of Fresh Lemon Tea - Cold.



This is also ying yang, but the ice is outside! haha.. This is called the "authentic" version.


I had Hot Honey Lime Tea. I think its quite nice :-)



We saw others ordering the gigantic toast, and so did we.
It's like half a loaf of bread cut into 6 pieces with a scoop of ice cream on top



Shall show some food photos tomorrow.

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant : Gigantic Toasts & Stuff

Phew. Today's blogger lets me load without any glitch.
Here goes...

The big huge thick toasts. This is butter and condensed milk.



This is the peanut butter version. Also covered with condensed milk. This is delicious!



We ordered set meals. Some sets come with soup. Cute little bowls.



Not sure what's the name of this, but this is rice dish which colleague said is not bad.



Another 2 colleague ordered baked rice. This is the chicken that is baked on the plate separately from the rice.



3 of us ordered this dish. It's spicy korean noodles. It comes with sausages, ham, 2 portions of the chicken wing, sunny side up egg, 2 slices of pink fish cake. We did not know it would be so big!



This is the side dish we ordered. Baked Cheesy Chicken Wings.
If we knew that we already have chicken wings in our noodles, we would not ordered and had to eat so much! But its delicious, the wings!



We also ordered a few kinds of drinks.

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant @ Vivo City

Instant noodles on steroids! That was what I wanted to put for the header! haha..

Yesterday, we celebrated one colleague's birthday by going down to Vivo City for lunch. Someone suggested Kim Gary, so off we went there...

That's colleagues in front of the shop. The address is there too.



We sat down and the menu came.



It seems this might be the only branch in Singapore. There are 10 branches in Malaysia. The famous one is in Sungai Wang Plaza, KL.

Sorry ah. Blogger is not allowing me to upload the rest of the pictures, been trying for the last 15 mins. I will post the food pictures tomorrow. Going to sleep liao...
