Central Hong Kong Cafe at North Point City


Central Hong Kong Cafe recently opened a new branch at Yishun's North Point City.  The decoration is very much the retro Hong Kong style.  Photos of the signature Hong Kong neon signboards are everywhere, chaotic, and rustic.



There is an ipad on every table with their menu pre-installed.  You can take your time to flip through the various items available, and with a few clicks, your order is placed.

Four Treasure Rice, $7.00++

I ordered their signature four-treasure rice.  The four treasures are: crispy duck, chicken wing, sausage and salted egg.  Well, let's start from the crispy duck.  It was not crispy at all.  It tasted more like smoked duck, and it was pretty salty.  In a certain way, it also tasted like the luncheon meat, except it was duck meat instead of pork.

Next, the sausage.  It was half a stick of the type of sausage that you get from supermarkets at $1++ for a whole packet type of sausage.  The only prominent flavor?  Salty.  The salty egg was decent, as you really can't go wrong with this.  The chicken wing was nice, though, tender and juicy, although the skin was a bit charred.

You will be given a slip after your food is served.  You just take that slip to the cashier when you pay your bill.

Overall, I think the food is pretty over-priced and not really attractive, but if your purpose is to find a place for some friends to sit down and chit-chat, then this place is still not too bad.
