Came back for the 2nd time because I love the food here. Decided to give the dimsum a try this round and I highly recommend the yam & pumpkin dish (top left) tastes really good and it's sth special! My favourite appetiser was the carrot cake in egg and XO sauce (top right) 8.5/10 wew! The other dishes were up to expectations as well and those in the photos are some of my preferred ones (such as the grilled king prawn with chef's miso sauce served with angel hair pasta in black pepper sauce)! Posting to remember what I ordered so I can head back next time to order what I liked!π
Yeap that's the Wok Fried Mashed Fish Noodle with Lobster in XO sauceπ! Overall dining experience was ππ»ππ»ππ» because of these few must-try dishes: deep fried fish skin coated with salted egg & satay sauce (9/10), Crispy fried eggplant tossed with pork floss (8/10), shark fin soup served in Japanese steamed pot [I know I'm sorry sharks >< but the soup was amazing (9/10)] , and the steamed fish with sauce/soup (8/10)! Note to self: Must bring fam here to try on special occasions!βΊοΈ
My least favourite amongst the rest I tried here. The taste of yam was so indistinct I wouldn't have known it was yam in there, and where's the scallops/prawns as promised??
The pork filling is pan fried beforehand and slightly fattier than usual, resulting in extra fragrance and a nice bouncy bite!
Ever since I had a 'crispy' cheong fun in Hong Kong 2 years back I've been hunting for something similar in SG n I've finally found one at XinYue! The thin crispy threads of fried flour embedded within not only add contrasting texture, but are also perfect for soaking up the soya sauce!
Omg, like order this please. This is the best thing I've tasted this year thus far. The sauce is well balanced and bursting with flavour! The truffle taste is just perfect, not overhwleming and not light. Every component complements each other. Simply heavenly.
Super addictive and delightfully tasty! Cannot stop popping into mouth. The fish skin was covered generously with salted egg yolk.
This is no ordinary carrot cake! Each 3x3cm cube is wonderfully crisp and coated with egg on the outside, yet remains soft and fluffy inside with a piece of savory cured meat buried within. Can't wait to sink my teeth into this again.
This common stir-fried-scallops-with-asparagus dish becomes so much more delightful with the addition of crisp and juicy lily buds!
Really pleased with all the dishes that we ordered at Xin Yue, including this silky soft tofu with shredded sea cucumber and conpoy.
Both noodles I tried β the Wok fried Homemade Mashed Fish Meat Noodle with Sea Treasure ($10), and Wok Fried Ramen with Lobster Pincer in Black Olives ($12) while did not have the use of heavy sauces or ingredients, proved that dishes which looked deceptively simple could indeed show the skills of the chefs behind them.

Felt rather bummed out when i realised that their crispy seafood cheongfun is no longer on their new menu! We made do with the 6 dimsums pictured above, amongst which we liked the flowy liu sha baos and deep fried seafood rolls best. Skip the xiaolongbaos though; the meat filling was rather tasteless.
All 3 were pretty good but if I were to pick a favourite it would be the braised ramen with crab meat.
