Honolulu Cafe (Westgate)

 Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) - Honolulu Egg Tart

 
Honolulu egg tarts have been voted as one of Hong Kong's best egg tarts by locals and tourists alike, but I was not very impressed with the egg tart I had at Honolulu Cafe (Centerpoint Mall). 
 
Honolulu Cafe (Westgate)
 
Honolulu Cafe has opened a new outlet at Westgate to cater to the people living in the West. I decided to give it another shot and give it the benefit of doubt.

Besides egg tarts, Honolulu Cafe also serves many Hong Kong cha chaan teng foods, categorised into Baked Goods, Toasts, Snacks, Sandwiches, Instant Noodles, Main Courses and Curry Specials. There are also Breakfast Sets. 
 
Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) - Curry Rice
 
Curry Rice (Pork Chop/Chicken/Fish Fillet/Beef Brisket/Luncheon Meat/Egg and Sausage)[$8.50] is a Hong Kong speciality that is not as well-known. I opted for the beef brisket, which turned out to be as tough as leather. The curry itself is very authentic, but it is a little too oily for me. 
 
Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) - Curry Fish Ball
 
Curry Fish Ball [$3 for 5 Pieces] is a snack that is very popular in Hong Kong and it can be found in stores all across the country. Fish balls are served with a thick curry sauce that is both spicy and fragrant. 
 
Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) - Honolulu Egg Tart
 
This is Honolulu's signature Honolulu Egg Tart [$1.90]. It tasted slightly better than the one I had at Honolulu Cafe (Centrepoint) but I personally still prefer Tai Cheong Bakery (Holland Village)'s Egg Tart for the buttery -crumbly crust and silky-smooth egg custard. 
 
Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) - Milk Tea
 
Milk Tea [$3 for Hot, $3.20 for Cold] is the most iconic drink in Hong Kong. Hong Kong milk tea is stronger than Singapore's milk tea because the Hong Kong version uses black tea. 
 
Personally, Honolulu Cafe (Westgate) is alright for a quick meal or to satisfy cravings for Hong Kong cha chaan teng fare, but my favourite Hong Kong egg tart is still Tai Cheong Bakery (Holland Village). 
 
Do you agree with me? Do you like Honolulu Cafe or Tai Cheong Bakery's egg tart better? Please tell me in the comments!

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
