If you have frequent Bugis area, Tan Quee Lan Street should be of no stranger to you. With couple of eateries along the streets, the place is always bustling, likewise to crowd opposite in Bugis Junction.

Xin Yuan Ji has been around for many years but I have never went in there as I have often withdrawn myself upon seeing just long queues outside the restaurant.

 Despite the snaky queues, staff has efficiently clear them in no time and turn over there was rather high too. Interior was both installed with Aircon as well as ceiling fans, thus even though patrons were in front of the flames from the Charcoal pot, they won't feel too heaty.

 Besides being known for their charcoal fish meat / head, they are also known for their curry fish head. Cze Char Style dishes are also available. Just flip over and have a look at the variety.

 I won't consider myself going Xin Yuan Ji without having their signature Charcoal Hot Pot with Fish Meat / Head. At the first sip of the soup, I truly comprehend the persistent patrons waiting outside.

 Soup was rich and savoury with sweet notes. With Charcoal stacked in the opening and burning, the soup was put to simmered. Ingredients like, Tofu, Yam, vegetables, tomatoes, chinese parseley and thick fish chunks had make the soup such flavourful. Even with the soup alone, it will go very well with just bowl/s of plain white rice.

 Looked at the big chunk of fish meat from the pot! In fact this is not the only piece that is so thick, the rest were more of less in the same size too. With ample of ginger strips added, there were not a single trace of "fishiness" and the taste was pretty different till I realized what was done. Instead of putting the raw fish into the soup and let it boil, those pieces had actually went through a round of cooking, pan fried, perhaps. Just take a look at the charred area and it would definitely tell you more about it.

 We topped up the pot with another plate of Fried Fish but in fried style. If it was to consume alone, you will find that these fried fish were not freshly fried and quite cold. Therefore it is recommended to soak them up in the charcoal hot pot. $15 is definitely worth as these chunks were generous portions.

 Is the food justifiable to the length of the queue outside? Taste wise food is above average but service wise is kind of frustrating. We have requested a few times to have our soup topped up and even though they had agreed, our pot was never filled up. However, if customers have left, they were very quick in clearing the table. In my conclusion, they gave me the impression that they do not have customer's interest at heart, thus making a return trip there is questionable now. Do note that for payments only cash and nets are accepted there.

Great fish steamboat!

Tan Quee Lan Street has a handful of steamboat places; one of them being Xin Yuan Ji 新源记 which is one of the better choices. Great choice for a meal especially if you are around Bugis area and tired of always dining in shopping malls.

Bustling busy on a public holiday evening - you might have to queue for sometime for a table but not for too long as the servers are quite efficient in allocating seats.

Their signature dish is their Fish Head Steamboats. Price range is about $30 for red snapper fish head (small), $45 for red snapper fish head (medium), $60 for red snapper fish head (large).

 Fish Head Steamboat - $63
The steamboat soup base is very rich and savoury, tasted like it has been simmered with fresh fish and seafood. Top-up is always available upon request. The soup base itself is flavourful enough to complement with white rice. The fish slices are also tender and thick - very enjoyable!

 Hotplate Tofu - $8.80
Average, the wokhei fragrance is rather overpowering. The ingredients inside this dish are quite generous but I still think it's slightly overpriced.

 Onion Scrambled Egg - $8.80
Another overpriced dish. I find that the scrambled egg could be more salty and flavourful.

 Sambal Kang Kong - $8.80
This dish was surprisingly better than the tofu and the scrambled egg. It is quite spicy but really delicious. The wokhei fragrance is light. Recommended.

 Red snapper fish meat steamboat that available in S, M, L size. We ordered Small @ S$40.00 portion which is just nice for two of us. It was served pipping hot with charcoal burning below. The soup essence was rich with the sweetness of the fish and also the veggies.The sliced fish was fresh and sweet . Mixture of veggies and other ingredients made the whole steamboat very filling. Additional side dish is available range from S$3.00 for the veggies. So, we had cabbage to add on to the soup.

 We also ordered Spinach with assorted egg @S$13.80. It’s a common zi char signature dish. We love the generous serving and the stock taste flavorful with the mixture of century and salted eggs. My friend loves the soupy taste of it.

 The serving time is within 15 minutes time despite full house. The staffs are efficient in serving and clearing the tables to ensure the turnover operation going smoothly. As for payment wise, you will need to pay it at their cashier counter. If you are dropping by, make sure you bring enough cash on hand as the restaurant only accepts cash payment which is clearly pasted outside the glass display of the shop.

 The classic way to present the Fish Soup, taste was just nice for my liking. Veggies essence and Seafood sweetness combined well to each other. I had my leisure to slowly bite the fresh fish, tender and decent slice.

Zi Char
2013-10-01 733 views
I was here the other day with my friends, as we've heard of this place that has nice fish soup as well as zi char dishes. The kangkong was a little too oily with lots of chilli oil, and was rather average. We had the prawn paste chicken wings which we read about online, but found it overpriced, and taste wise, there was nothing special about it. The curry fish head was alright but the amount of fish meat too little. Although the salted egg squid was good, it's a little pricey at around $16.

Prefer the fried fish to the sliced fish. Food is great but if u're looking for a place with good service, this is not the place to go.

The serving time is within 10minutes even though the restaurant is full with people.

This bowl of heaven cost $5.80 (no gst and service charge). Although it is more expensive than the usual hawker price, it is still worth it for the quality.

If you are looking for a budget place with nice food to dine in at bugis, this will be the most ideal one!

 As we are not a fan of fish head, we opted to change our fish to slice fish meat instead. I love the soup as it is definitely not MSG loaded (don't feel the thirst after drinking down many bowls of the soup). The fish meat though is tough, guess it is a too overcooked inside the boiling soup.

Other than that we also order the "Fatt choy yu sheng" as our starter. this is the first time i finished the yu sheng - this shows how nice and fresh it is.

For the other dishes, we ordered prawn paste chicken, sambal kang kong and sweet and sour squid. Especially love prawn paste chicken with its crispy skin and flavorful marination.

Total bill came up to $150 for 3 pax, a little too overpriced though.

 The Fried Red Snapper Fish Head Mee Hoon's soup with milk added was sweet and tasty. The fish head meat was very fresh and well fried. Wish that more generous portion of fish head was given. But this was certainty worth it. Definitely will be back for more.

Though the waiting time was long (10min), the soup standard did not disappoint, the fish sliced does not taste like those that have been fried since morning but still feel freshly fried. The milk soup combination was so good that i slurp up the entire bowl, leaving nothing left. Highly recommended is to add a few pieces of the chilli padi into the soup to spice it up.

Actually to me this restaurant’s dishes are rather expensive as compare to coffee shop price, and the fish soup is no big deal. It doesn’t worth a try. they do served take-aways too. when i used to work near bugis street, i alway crossed over to take-away back. the fish were fresh. however when i went there, that evening, i think the standard dropped alot, the milk is too thick and fish meat were not fresh. i am quite disappointed with the dropping standard.
