$8 for $16 Worth of Hong Kong Cuisine at Taste of Hong Kong Cafe in Tampines

Like cats and the Internet or breakups and copious amounts of Ben and Jerry’s, the combination of rice and cheese is an unexpected, yet sinfully delicious pairing. Revel in the delectable mutants of culinary fusion with today’s Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of Hong Kong cuisine at Taste of Hong Kong Cafe.

Located centrally – and much nearer than a plane ride away – in Tampines Central, this unassuming and congenial eatery boasts a selection of hearty favourites that hail straight from the chaotic kitchens of a Hong Kong café. Load up on carbs and treat yourself with one of their signature Baked Rice dishes, where the genius combination of fried rice, fresh meat, seafood or vegetables and melted cheese is baked to golden-brown perfection.

Choose from belly-filling favourites such as Curry Sauce Chicken Chop Rice ($8.90), Seafood Spaghetti with Cream Sauce ($8.90) and Fish Fillet Rice with Mushroom Sauce ($8.90). Traditionalists and rice-adversaries can indulge in their longer limbed cousins with the more Asian influenced noodle dishes like Beef Brisket Noodles ($6.90) and Beef Hor Fun ($6.90), a specialty dish of Guangzhou.

Wash down the decadent richness with more richness, as Taste of Hong Kong offers a whole plethora of uniquely Hong Kong snacks such as the Bo Lo Bun ($1.20), silky smooth Egg Tart ($1.20) and street favourite, Eggette ($3.90), a legendary invention that came to light as a consequence of one grocer's intention to salvage broken eggs.

Diners can also taste a sliver of non-Eastern options with a plate of 2-piece fried chicken wings with fries ($4.90) and French Toast ($2.90).
