The restaurant’s name itself carries meaning:

  • ” (xīng) echoes Singapore’s “新” (xīn) and the idea of a rising star,
  • ” (yuè) honours the roots of fine Cantonese cuisine,
  • ” (xuān) reflects its promise of an elevated dining experience.
Xing Yue Xuan -amuse-bouche

We start off with an amuse-bouche that changes seasonally. You can look forward to delicate bites such as a scallop and prawn salad nestled in a house-made kueh pie tee shell or a jewel-like pickled cherry tomato, each thoughtfully paired with a ceremonial Honeycomb Ruby Tea.

Xing Yue Xuan -Double-boiled Fish Maw Kampung Chicken Soup

One of the standout dishes from the à la carte menu is the Double-boiled Fish Maw Kampung Chicken Soup (S$38 per person), and it easily ranks as one of my favourites of the evening. Carefully double-boiled for hours using old hen, pork, and chicken feet, the broth is then further concentrated to achieve a rich, creamy texture that’s both nourishing and luxurious. It’s generously filled with premium fish maw, scallops, morel mushrooms, and wolfberries, creating layers of flavour and a comforting depth that truly elevates the dining experience. A soul-warming bowl that’s well worth indulging in.

Xing Yue Xuan -Dong Po Pork Belly in Hakka Style

The Dong Po Pork Belly in Hakka Style (S$38 per person) is elegantly presented, tied with a bamboo leaf string that’s cut open by the staff upon serving. It is a nice touch of tradition. The pork belly is succulent and richly flavoured, with the soy-based sauce adding a deep, savoury finish that truly elevates the dish. That said, it’s quite filling on its own, so it might be best enjoyed shared, especially if you’re sampling several dishes from the menu.

Xing Yue Xuan Fuss-Free Crab

For crustacean lovers, the Xing Yue Xuan Fuss-Free Crab (Half Crab) (S$78 per person) is a definite must-try. Diners can choose from three tempting preparations: the signature black pepper, the award-winning chilli crab, or a steamed version with custard egg and caviar. I opted for the black pepper crab, which delivered a bold and peppery kick. You will feel the heat, but in a good way. The crab meat is fully deshelled, making it effortless to enjoy. It’s also served with fresh lettuce leaves, perfect for wrapping the spicy crab meat into bite-sized parcels.

Xing Yue Xuan -Flambéed Drunken Live Prawns

The Flambéed Drunken Live Prawns (S$48 per portion, 300g) is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of tableside theatrics. The prawns are flambéed in er guo tou (二锅头) baijiu before being simmered in a delicate broth infused with goji berries and angelica root. The prawns are not only visually stunning, but also fresh and succulent, while the accompanying broth—served separately—offers a subtle balance of herbal and boozy notes that complement the dish beautifully.

Xing Yue Xuan -Whole 3-head Abalone & Sea Cucumber in Fragrant Rice

The last savoury course is the Whole 3-head Abalone & Sea Cucumber in Fragrant Rice (S$68 per person), served piping hot in a sizzling stone pot. The rice is first wok-fried with a house-crafted soy blend, then topped with tender sea cucumber and a whole 3-head abalone. The result is a dish that’s rich in umami, and beautifully aromatic, with the premium abalone adding a luxurious touch.

Xing Yue Xuan-Dessert Platter

For dessert, I enjoyed the Classic Chinese Duo Pastry Platter (S$16), which features a rotating selection of heritage-inspired sweets. This time, it included a refreshing vanilla mousse topped with passion fruit sauce, and a beautifully crafted “Awakening Lion” pastry filled with red bean and tangerine peel.

Xing Yue Xuan offers something distinct as the only upscale Chinese restaurant within the RWS enclave. The main hurdle may be encouraging diners to venture into Sentosa, but those who do will be rewarded with elegant surroundings, well-crafted dishes, and the assurance of quality from the Jumbo Group. With the flexibility of both à la carte selections and curated tasting menus, Xing Yue Xuan strikes a balance between accessibility and luxury experience for diners.
