[…] menu reminds me of Hong Kong cafés like Xin Wang and C.Nai which boast similarly comprehensive and diverse offerings that appeal to both the young and the […]

In reply to fwy. The prices are comparable with Xin Wang. It's the "café price" range.

In reply to hongkonger in sg. Perhaps not the food, but I'm sure you can get these drinks in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Cafe in Singapore are charging way too much. I had stopped visiting them for about a year. I hope there will be more competition so the prices can come down.

Yummy!
It is a mouth watering dish!
It is making me hungry.
Milk tea float with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, what a great combination!

In reply to Nicholas. Yes, you really can eat the fried carrot cake everyday! It's unlike the Chai Tao Kway at hawker centres. This one is very light and you won't feel queasy or sick of it after eating. The baked pasta is literally an all-in-one combo. Want meat? It has both chicken and pork. Want cheese and spaghetti? There are oodles of it, too. Lacking a bit in the flavour department, I find. But then again, taste is subjective.

fried carrot cake in XO sauce… bit pricey but yummy and nice. i can eat this everyday.

trust the Hong Kongers to come up with strange recipes like the ice milk tea float and the baked pasta. had watered down coffee with lemon once. cant say i liked it.

still, the baked pasta looks really good.

Fried carrot cake is my favorite in Cantonese restaurants.

In reply to lynn. Ah okay :) Thanks for clearing that up. I must admit I haven't seen C.Nai before until they opened at East Coast Park, so I thought they're a smaller and newer player in the market. On their website they do call themselves the one and only Hong Kong café in Singapore and have been around since 2004. Anyways their food is pretty decent and I'm definitely headed for a return visit soon!

hi violet! c.nai is actually one of the, if not, the fore-runner(s) in the HK Cafe biz in Singapore. I’ve been patronising the east coast road branch since they opened in 2004/5 (thereabout). I think there was a change in ownership about 2 years (?) ago. The cafe was changed to Macau Cafe then eventually C.Nai Cafe. The menu remains largely intact and having tried many HK cafes, i would say they offer the best food + drinks. Therefore, I wouldn’t consider them up and coming, more like the trendsetter? =)

the irony is, you can’t find these same food when you visit the cafes in Hong Kong.
