Our take: Xin Yue Lai offers a distinctly Malaysian-style herbal bak kut teh experience in Singapore, with a strong emphasis on the Klang-style broth.
We see consistent praise for their Dry Bak Kut Teh, often described as fragrant, slightly spicy, and pairing well with rice.
The pork belly in the dry version is noted for its good flavour, though some find it on the fattier side.
The Ginger Wine Chicken is also highlighted as a tasty, less common Malaysian dish, though it can be salty by local standards.
The herbal Soup Bak Kut Teh receives mixed reviews; while some appreciate its thick, aromatic profile reminiscent of Klang, others find the pork bone flavour lacking, with the broth tasting predominantly of herbs and soy sauce.
A common thread is the saltiness, which some reviewers find authentic to Malaysian standards, while others perceive it as excessive.
We'd recommend focusing on the Dry Bak Kut Teh and the Ginger Wine Chicken for a more consistent experience.
Be mindful of the potential saltiness if you're not accustomed to Malaysian flavour profiles.
Verdict: Best for those seeking an authentic, robust Malaysian herbal bak kut teh, especially the dry version.
Skip the large set meals; individual orders seem to offer better value and quality.

Xin Yue Lai Bak Kut Teh is praised for its authentic KL/Klang-style herbal Bak Kut Teh, particularly the rich and flavourful dry version with tender pork belly, which many find comparable to Malaysian originals.
While the ginger wine chicken is a popular and tasty offering, the soup Bak Kut Teh receives mixed reviews, with some finding it lacking in pork bone flavour.
Portions and value, especially for larger set menus, are areas of concern for some customers.

Pretty decent KL-style bak kut teh. Saw many reviews saying the food is too salty. Perhaps it's a tad saltier compared to Singaporean food, but I felt the level was quite authentic if compared to what…
