Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Yong Xiang Lai Seafood Zi Char offers a solid zi char experience in Hougang, with a focus on fresh seafood and Malaysian-style preparations.

We note consistent praise for flavour, particularly the black hokkien mee which avoids the usual alkaline taste, and the claypot tofu, which comes generously loaded with roasted pork belly, taro, and mushrooms.

The sweet and sour pork rice, priced around $15-20 for a single portion, is highlighted for its crispy pork and well-balanced sauce.

While some initial reports mentioned longer wait times, this seems to be an early operational kink for a newly opened stall.

We think this spot is a reliable choice for those in the area seeking flavourful zi char without breaking the bank, with a meal for three averaging around $60-70.

Best for a casual weeknight dinner or a family meal.

What customers say

Yong Xiang Lai Seafood Zi Char is praised for its flavorful, authentic Malaysian-style zi char, with dishes like the black hokkien mee and sweet and sour pork receiving high marks.

Customers consistently find the pricing reasonable for the quality and generous portions, leading to strong intentions for repeat visits.

While food preparation can sometimes take longer, this is often attributed to the stall being relatively new.
