Suntec City offers a vast array of dining options, but there are occasions when a simple breakfast is all you want. Xin Wang Hong Kong Café, a modern take on the classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng, opens early and is a great option for breakfast.

The extensive menu of Xin Wang caters to all-day dining, with breakfast sets, dim sum selections and one-dish meals like Cheese Baked Pork Chop Fried Rice and Seafood Crispy Egg Noodle. It helpfully lists the top ten items to try (see picture above).
Below are pictures of sections of its menu board.
Breakfast at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe
We went there for breakfast and ordered a simple Rugby Bun with Butter ($1.90), Two Pan fried Eggs & Luncheon Meat with Crispy Rugby Bun ($6.80) and a few dim sum items – Peanut Porridge ($3), Braised Beef Brisket Cheong Fun ($6.90) and Pan Fried Radish Cake ($4.90 for 3 pieces). Black coffee was $2.90 each.
The Rugby Bun with Butter ($1.90) was a fluffy delight, perfect for dunking into a cup of their strong Hong Kong-style coffee. For something more substantial, the Eggs & Luncheon Meat with Crispy Rugby Bun hit the spot for a simple tasty breakfast dish.
The dim sum items were fairly standard, not luxurious, but satisfying and filling. The Peanut Porridge was simple comfort food.
The Braised Beef Brisket Cheong Fun stood out. The cheong fun (rice noodle sheets) were smooth and delicate. The beef brisket was really tender and was delectable.
The pan-fried radish cake, also known as “lo bak go” in Cantonese, had a crispy, golden-brown crust. It was prepared with various ingredients, including dried shrimp and Chinese sausage (lap cheong). It was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The taste was enhanced by adding the XO sauce provided.
Affordable Casual Dining
Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe offers a relaxed and affordable dining experience. The food is not fancy but the cafe serves comforting food that satisfies. Whether you want breakfast, a casual lunch, or simply a place to “yum cha” with some snacks, Xin Wang can be a good option. With an extensive menu, affordable prices and a welcoming atmosphere, it is also a great spot in Suntec City for families or large groups.
