Our take: Xin Lai Lai Seafood Restaurant in Toa Payoh offers a solid zi char experience, particularly for seafood lovers.

While some dishes like the curry fish head receive mixed reviews, the Chilli Crab and Salted Egg Salmon Skin consistently earn high praise.

We'd also highlight the Hokkien Mee and 'Orh Mee' (black noodles) for their flavour and generous additions like pork lard and raw egg.

The Indo-style butter prawns and four-season beans are also noted as standout options.

We think this spot is best enjoyed with a group, as it allows for sampling a wider variety of their extensive menu.

While the setting is humble, the food quality often exceeds expectations, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying Chinese seafood meal.

Expect to pay around $30+ per person if you're ordering crabs and multiple dishes.

A good option for a casual group dinner, especially if you pre-order the crab.
