Lovers of Bak Kut Teh are in for a treat—Huang Yaxi Bak Kut Teh, a renowned Singaporean bak kut teh shop with over 60 years of history, opened its first overseas branch at the end of July. Located in Taipei XinYi A8, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, you can now enjoy the most authentic Teochew-style bak kut teh without leaving the country.

Huang Yaxi Bak Kut Teh is one of the oldest Teochew-style bak kut teh shops in Singapore. It has been in business since the 1950s and is one of the few places where you can still enjoy an authentic old-school Singaporean taste, beloved to this day. Huang Yaxi offers a pork-based Teochew-style peppery herbal soup, served with freshly brewed kung fu tea. With strong notes of pepper and garlic, it emphasizes simplicity, nourishment, and deliciousness.

Seeing the growing popularity of Southeast Asian cuisine in Taiwan in recent years, He Xing Catering specially introduced Huang Yaxi Bak Kut Teh to Taiwan. It officially opened on July 26 at Taipei XinYi A8, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, allowing Taiwanese foodies to enjoy the rich and flavorful Teochew-style bak kut teh without flying all the way to Singapore.

Aside from enjoying Huang Yaxi Bak Kut Teh at A8, you can also visit the Taipei XinYi flagship store of Harrods, a British century-old brand, as well as Asia’s highest outdoor spiral slide. There’s plenty of fun, food, and drinks to experience all in one place.
