Beloved Bugis fish soup institution serving flavourful broths and crispy fried snapper in an air-conditioned setting.
Xin Yuan Ji has carved out a reputation as one of Bugis' most dependable fish soup destinations, drawing office crowds and tourists alike with its deeply flavoured broths and generous portions. The kitchen takes pride in using fresh fish and the natural sweetness of vegetables, never resorting to heavy seasoning — a philosophy that keeps regulars coming back for more.The Sliced Fish Soup Bee Hoon ($5.80+) is a steal, with firm, plump slices in a clear, sweet broth. The Fried Snapper Fish Soup ($8.90+) features chunks of fish in a remarkably light and crisp batter. For something heartier, the Red Snapper Fish Head Steamboat comes with free soup refills. Unique homemade drinks — Mama (sour plum and lime) and Papa (lime and barley) at $1.80 each — round out the experience.

First time ordered take away sliced fish soup bee hoon from this new shop. When I back home and open up to my surprise the soup added milk and sliced fish seem to be fried. The fish was bland and hard. Will not come back again. :(

Glad to try this cozy place. Original fish soup has a clean taste, was hearty and flavourful. Broth goes well with thick bee hoon. Fried fish was decent. Prawn paste was bouncy and firm. Side dishes like mala oyster mushroom and deep fried fermented pork were pleasant. Overall a comforting meal at reasonable price.

lovely broth and smooth fish slices… just like the original branch in Bugis
Lance Tay
Very good quality fish - thick and definitely fresh. Although for a guy, the portion is quite small, need at least 1.5 times. Also a bit pricey at 8.8 per bowl but then again aircon + quality ingredients. Menu attached.
