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 fis

Xin Yuan Ji which is located along Tan Quee Lan Street is a walking distance from Bugis MRT station is well-known of their charcoal fish steamboat and fish soup. It is just opposite Bugis Junction shopping mall. I have always wanted to try whenever I passed by the restaurant but there is always a queue outside.

Well-known for its Seafood Steamboat, it was normal to see lining up outside restaurant. But not the big deal, queue was cleared pretty fast due to the prompt service of staff. Menu given was straightforward with photos and prices, food looked appetizing. Price was inclusive GST without service charges, reasonable indeed.The curry was thickly rich in spices aroma, wonderful and generous serving. Sizzling hot, the gravy was nourish and flavoursome. I realized that almost all the tables were havin

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.

Milky soup with fried fishI love the savoury fish soup with fried fish, chanced it upon introduction by collegue's wife, one of the best fish soup i ever have, worth to eat even though seem to be too expensive,but it is not,with good fish and nice sweet soup. It is located at a corner, so very easy to find, they have fish steamboat too, should give it a try for dinner.

Went there for lunch, there was a long queue. Place was air-conditioned, much to our joy as it was sweltering hot outside. Food came shortly after we ordered. There's a set lunch comprising of their specialty curry fish head and a drink. Quite little fish and much of the bowl was filled with veggies and brinjal. If more than one pax is having the curry fish head, would suggesting ordering the to-share portion instead. The fish soup beehoon was great, with much more fish compared to the curry fis

Xin Yuan Ji is famous for their fish steamboat, curry fish head and their fish soup (yu pian mifen). Was here before for their zi char and now I'm back for the fried fish soup. Indeed, it live up to its name! I love the soup with that nice "milky" taste. A generous amount of vegetable and fish were given too. The fish were fresh without they fishy smell at all. 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

Tried the fish soup from this place a few days back and realize they serve tze char too! so i came here with my friends for dinner today and tried out the food.Sambal Kang Kong. Not enough spice for this dish! to me sambal kang kong has to be real spicy to be nice. but my friend like it this way because she don't really take spice.Prawn Paste Chicken. the fried skin is nice however the meat isn't very tasty. Not very well marinated i guess. Was expecting this to be nicer as it is one of their si

Selected this place to have our reunion dinner for this Chinese New Year. Called on the day to make a reservation but was told that only if we ordered a fish head steamboat then they will hold the reservation for us. Since they are famous for that, we decided to try on that.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 th

Craving for some fish meat soup noodles?? This is the place to visit!!! Their fish soup is the best I ever tasted!!!! Sweet and not too salty!!! The fish meat was fresh and serving was just nice! One bowl costs about $5.80. If you eat fish head noodles, it costs about $7.80. Tempted to try their curry fish head (lunch special at $6.50 comes with a barley drink and rice), we ordered one set to shared. The curry gravy was great but the cabbage were cold as they were precooked. Service was prompt a

Tan Quee Lan street is notorious for being difficult to find parking lots so what me and my friend did was to park just opposite Xin Yuan Ji entrance and put the hazard lights on, while all prepared to make a dash if summon auntie was spotted. We ordered the standard $5.80 bowl of fried sliced fish soup with milk. 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 frie

I drove to this coffee shop with my girlfriend for their fried fish soup. Their fried fish soup is indeed really good, if you like the milky ones, then this stall is just for you. The soup is so milky. the thick bee hoon does not absorb the soup and it is cooked perfectly, not too soft and it is a little chewy too. The fish they use is so fresh and sweet. The fish is deep fried till very crispy but when placed in the hot bowl of soup, it softens and absorbs the milky fragrance. They are very gen

Most of us would think of steamboat when we hear Tan Quee Lan St. Indeed, there are several shops that sell steamboat.
