Xin Yue Lai opened on Horne Road at the ever-bustling Jalan Besar. It’s a long distance away from Auntie Yue Lai’s – the matriarch’s – home of Johor Bahru. The heart and soul of her recipes are rooted there, spanning 3 generations. With her new Singapore outlet, she’s here to share them.

Xin Yue Lai Bak Kut Teh 2 types — Credit | Credit

The main star of the new eatery is the Malaysian-style claypot bak kut teh, which comes in two types. The first is the soupy Herbal Bak Kut Teh (S$8.80 for Small, S$16.80 for Medium, S$33.80 for Large).

The most common style is the Teochew version. At Xin Yue Lai Bak Kut Teh, they offer a far more robust and darker broth. They use various pork parts, not just the ribs, and season with cinnamon, star anise, dang gui and a liberal amount of soy sauce.

The other version of bak kut teh on offer here is the Dry Bak Kut Teh (S$9.80), which serves the pork belly in thick, dark gravy.

These two dishes aren’t the only things on the menu. Xin Yue Lai also offers a variety of braised and claypot dishes like Braised Pork Knuckle (S$12), Ginger and Wine Chicken (S$12), Pig Skin (S$4), and Pig Stomach Soup (S$8).

Xin Yue Lai’s side menu has items like You Tiao (S$2), the perfect fried dough side to bak kut teh, and Steamed Seabass Fillet With Salted Black Soya Sauce (S$12).
