Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe @ Anchorpoint

Our office mates wanted to celebrate a birthday for one colleague, but the colleague was too 'shy'. Finally she relented and said she will join us for lunch. Her pick for the place for lunch was any Hong Kong Cafe kind of food.

We finally settled for Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe at Anchorpoint.

What did we have? The HK style ice milk tea in steel containers.



Super thick toast with butter and condensed milk. It was quite nice!



We ordered individual items for each person and shared some.
These are what we had.

Instant Noodles with luncheon meat and sunny side up. The birthday girl's lunch. Looks delicious eh?





Another colleague had the Black Pepper Steak with pasta. She seems to enjoy it too.



I had Sweet and Sour Pork Chop with Pasta. I like the sweet and sour pork. It was tender and I think I like sweet and sour stuff. ;-)



Two other colleagues had baked rice. Since they look the same, I just took one of it. We scrapped off the cheese top to show you pork chop rice. ;-)



We shared a mushroom and cabbage dish.



When we were going to pay the bill, one of the 'salesperson' came to sell us their 'Peng You' card. We told them I already had one, but did not bring it. She quickly asked if any of us had our birthday this month. We said it's one of our colleague's birthday.

Boy was she a good sales lady, she took the bill, circled this and that and said this will be free if you have the card, you get discounts, you get a gift too and some other things we did not catch. Before we knew it, it was assumed we wanted that card! She came back with the sign up form and our colleague got her birthday gift and she got treated lunch by the rest of us plus a discount card and vouchers for her own next visit. LOL...

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....

Desserts @ Secret Recipe, Anchorpoint

Last Saturday nite, met up with another group of friends for our monthly dinner. We had wanted to go to that Disney theme place, but we did not booked, and ended up having to eat elsewhere. We walked around and ate at Secret Recipe instead. The food pictures maybe tomorrow, but this was our desserts.

The kids was I think disappointed. The two pair of parents have to quickly initiate damage control. LOL. One said they will be back another day. Another got to wash the hands in the disney sink and was OK. haha...

One of the drinks that I like is the Apple Kasturi here. I think I always order this whether I have it in Singapore or Malaysia!



This is their signature cake. We had I think 2 or 3 of it on our tables. The Chocolate Banana. I think some outlets serve their standing up, but this one is served in 'sleep mode'. haha.



Those who did not order Chocolate Banana ordered Chocolate Indulgence instead. haha.. Yes, also in 'sleep mode'.



What about those who did not want cakes? They had ice cream instead!



The 3 kids had Smarties Ice Cream!



Though I am not a parent, would like to ask those parents out there.
How do you do damage control? Promised your child something and then could not deliver?

Kopi Alley @ Anchorpoint

Two days ago, we had lunch at Anchorpoint. The renovations are not fully completed yet. The main entrance is not ready! haha...

Walking around, we did not know where to eat and ended up eating at the new Koufu food court. We were feeling warm and thirsty after lunch, so we all decided to go elsewhere for coffee and tea. We thought we saw TCC, but it is not opened yet. So we remembered seeing a coffee place at the basement while we were roaming this place earlier.

Kopi Alley, is opened by Jollibean, one of the soya bean shops.

We ordered a few drinks. This is my 'teh o peng'.

I want to laugh. It is written "Ice Tea O" on the menu, but when I order, I said Teh O Peng. The person paused a while then said yes, we have Ice Teh O, and took my other orders.

When she confirmed the order again, she read it out all in the English equivalent. I said, yes, 3 teh, 1 kopi, 1 teh o peng. I think that confused the lady, because she had to translate all back to 3 Tea, 1 Coffee, 1 Ice Tea O again before she got it.

OK, I was cheeky.



The drinks ok lah.

But something that was different was the Ice Cream Toast. It's vanilla ice cream for this.
This is what another colleague ordered earlier. OK we always order extra to share and always ended up with too much. LOL.



This was another order, also with Ice Cream Toast. But this is choc chip instead. haha..
We like both of it.



We also had the usual Kaya and Butter Toast.



One thing though, has the price of butter gone up so so much? See the butter above, that's all you get, 1.5 cm more inside what you see. A bit kiam-siap lah... Maybe if we were to order we should ask for extra butter next time.

Of course, the butter lover colleague would have love the the butter to be as big piece as the ice cream. LOL...
