I’ve always been a regular at Xin Yuan Ji’s Bugis branch—it’s been my favorite fish soup spot in Singapore for years. Today, I decided to try their Bukit Batok outlet.
The soup used to have a strong, distinctive charcoal aroma, which added a unique depth to its flavor. While that smokiness is barely noticeable now, the soup still holds up well.
The freshness of the fish slices remains consistently high, and even without the charcoal undertones, the broth is flavorful and satisfying. It’s still a reliable choice for a comforting bowl of fish soup.
Tze char all day everyday!
Visited @jb101firewokzflagship for the first time after bookmarking it on my map for the longest time!
They were having some promotion for fried fish at $2.90 only!!
Other dishes we ordered:
- salted egg spare ribs $15
- stir fried tanghoon $6
- charcoal claypot hokkien noodles $8.90
Loved that there was no bones in the pork ribs!
Would have preferred if the claypot hokkien noodles were the wetter kind though.
No GST and service charge here
A surprisingly good Zhi Char place.
1) Curry Fish Head- fish was fresh, meat was white and silky smooth. Curry was damn good. Easily 1 of the better Fish Head Curry I ever had. High recommended.
2) Fried Pork - Crispy and flavourful, one of the more popular dishes here at JB 101, came here twice already, and both times also ordered this.
3) La La beehoon
- 1 of the Signature dishes here, the LaLa were fresh and the dish tasted delicious
4) Sambal Sotong
- fresh and flavourful.
5) Sambal Kangkong
- Not bad, flavourful and sambal was not too spicy, garlicky.
- Uncertain about the hygiene and the service
Informed the staff that the plate served was dirty and requested for a new plate, there was remnants not washed properly, but staff says it's not dirty, just a hole?? and never came back with a plate. Poor service. Regret signing up and paying for the membership. Staff should not throw their unhappiness to work at customers.
- Disappointed with the food
Ordered the divine chicken pot recommended on display, but the chicken had gamey taste, and the entire dish is super salty we rather waste the $18 than eat it, would not recommend it.
Filled with lots of lala in hotplate and you would be surprised with the chef’s special broth here.
It really heat up your taste bud as you have it.
Blend of Chinese style of steamed fish with Thai sauce, get ready for some tingling sensation on your taste buds.
Jiak served the 1st kind of squid ink beehoon in Singapore. Comes with generous amount of seafoods on hotplate such as lala, prawn and squid.
Even though it was served with soup, but it will get absorbed pretty fast as you mixed them.
It’s seasonal
It’s quite well done. It’s very tender and doesn’t feel too fatty/gelat
The bee hoon is the wet kind. Not my favorite
Not much wok hey. It paired well with the sambal provided.
Okay la the stingray flesh was firm and flakes off the “bones” quite easily
The chili sauce has hints of coconut, but quite disappointed that it was not grilled with the stingray so sauce wasn’t incorporated into the flesh
OMG $20 for vegetables + eggs
It’s pretty typical, at least egg portion was generous
But NOT worth, no veggies is worth $20
Cook your own vegetables and bring to eat Zichar
Slightly stronger than typical stir fried lala
