A few weeks ago, we were invited to try their new dishes at Wee Nam Kee. I missed Wee Nam Kee so I was so delighted to accept.
We just love the interiors and spaciousness of their Glorietta 2 branch.
There are lots of hanging cage lanterns, ceramics and Asian fixtures.
Food
Appetizers
The Crispy Mantou Bread with Condense Milk is new at Wee Nam Kee but it's my old favorite so I happily indulged in this simple snack.
I love the crispiness of the skin and juiciness of the meat of the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings. But, I could hardly taste the prawn paste.
Noodles in Soup
The Hainanese Chicken Curry is a merger of my two favorites: Hainanese Chicken and Laksa Curry. As expected, I loved this!
The noodles have absorbed the tasty broth. You can refill your broth anytime too.
Poultry
The Wok-Fried Chicken with Cashew and Sun-Dried Chili is actually the classic Chinese Kung Pao Chicken. This is so good!
The Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken has the right blend of rich salty and yolky flavor but not too overwhelming.
Pork
The Stewed Pork Belly with Steamed Buns is eaten by putting some stewed pork belly on the steamed buns and eat them like a sandwich. This is a guilty pleasure that I'd succumb into from time to time.
The Cashew Coffee Spareribs has a nice aromatic bitter-sweet coffee flavor that makes it quite addictive especially when paired with rice.
Seafood
The Prawns with Lychee and Peaches is a brilliant fruity revamp from the usual sweet and sour dishes.
My least favorite is the Butterflied Tilapia with "Singapore Chili Crab" Sauce. Even with the tasty Singapore Chili Crab Sauce, I can't get pass the murky taste of the tilapia.
Noodles
The Spicy Sambal Rice Noodles is a tasty staple with a nice spicy kick.
Rice
The Pineapple Fried Rice with Pork Floss is another staple choice.
Desserts
We are very excited over the Three Flavor Chocolate Truffle Buchi.
Each on is filled with a different chocolate filling. There's white, dark and milk chocolate.
Beverages
The Mango Mint Smoothie is so refreshing and it's a great complement for any type of dish.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I'm very happy with Wee Nam Kee's new additions. I'll definitely order the Hainanese Chicken Curry in every visit from now on.

I have to admit I've been disheartened to write due to the damage that the Habagat (Southwest Monsoon) floods have inflicted. Surely, I will never forget how 90% of Manila and 50% of Metro Manila was submerged in flood waters. But, we should not let a calamity waiver our spirits so I'm back to writing again. I figured at times like these, its best to remember the positive things in life.
Despite the cold weather, I feel the warmth as my family helped each other in organizing our donations. It felt the same way as when we go out to eat together such as our pleasant visit at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe last month at SM Mall of Asia.

According to our attentive and courteous waiter (sorry I forgot his name), Xing Wang Hong Kong Cafe is franchised from Singapore.
Food
Our orders were quick to arrive and they were served piping hot too.
Bamboo Rice
Every since I was a child, I loved eating from a bamboo. I can still reminisce my first time was during a hike where the Ifugao's would cook their bamboo dishes over wood fire. I've always ordered dishes served in bamboo ever since.

Roti Prata
 |
| ♥ Roti Prata 2 pcs. (50 php x 2) |
To pair with my Mixed Vegetables Curry, I ordered two pcs. of Roti Prata. It wasn't on the menu but the server informed me that I could order it as an alternative to rice. They serve their Roti Prata round and flat just like pancakes. Although I find it to be quite pricey, it was one of the best Roti Prata I've encountered. It was soft, chewy, smooth, moist and not too oily.
Cold Desserts
 |
| Special Mango Snow Ice (125 php) |
The Special Mango Snow Ice was delivered in a beautiful presentation. It was a tower of shave iced with a scoop of mango ice cream on top and covered in mango puree, mango syrup and tangy mango bits. I enjoyed the light contrast of tangy fresh mango bits against the other components but it fell short on my expectations as against the smoothness of the shaved ice at Lugang Cafe and the refreshing and flavorful twist of the shave ice at The Chicken Rice Shop.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Unlike other cafes, Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe serves wide variety of delicious Chinese and other Asian dishes. We are all looking forward to trying more of their offerings. Check out their menu to see what I mean. =D Moreover, their service is top-notch as their staffs are all courteous, attentive and eager to serve. Their price is more expensive that typical Chinese restaurants but its reasonable since its a franchise and the food quality is excellent.
