Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe @ Citylink Mall

Recce-d this place for dinner today. Wasn't too hungry and great choice since I can just order the taiwan finger food or snacks to share with ES. I think Xin Wang is making big bucks. First, HK cafes scattered around the island, now their Taiwan themed cafe trying to get a cut of the pie as well.

I mean if you have tried their HK Cafe finger food, you'll know that they are making mega profits. Their siew mais and dim sum dishes taste pretty cheapo like those from supermarts and just heated up and they charge like 3-4 bucks for it. But guess their winning formula is that though their food aren't finger licking good, but their prices are pretty competitive for cafes with a targeted audience who will fervently patronise them for cheap HK food.

Kim Gary is better in terms of quality.

Anyways, back to Taiwan food. Well, similar comments as above, making the right move to cater to HK and taiwanese food fans.

~ES loves this Oyster omelette. Maybe I've tasted better ones in taiwan..so i'm pretty immuned~

~ the salty chic pieces are good. They use chicken thigh meat which is more tender and palatable and also more fattening than breast meat. ~

~ would not recommend this taiwan style Yong Tau Foo. It's made up of different kinds of fish paste yong tau foo, though they all taste the same to me. plain and not worth the bucks.~

Prices are steeper for the taiwan cafe as compared to the HK one. Maybe their main courses would be more value for money.

Mochi would give them a 2nd chance.
