Xita Lao Tai Tai Lands In Bugis: Sizzling Charcoal Claypot BBQ From China!

If you’re a fan of smoky, sizzling meats (and who isn’t?), Xita Lao Tai Tai is the latest BBQ hotspot you’ll want to bookmark. Hailing from Shenyang’s Xita district in China — a place known for its Korean-influenced charcoal claypot grills — this popular brand has over 600 outlets and is finally making its Southeast Asian debut right here in Bugis, Singapore.

Step inside and you’re immediately treated like a VIP. Tables are prepped with an impressive spread of free-flow xiao cai like kimchi, mashed potato, and tofu skin, while staff walk you through the cuts and sauces — and even help you cook. No more fighting over the grill!

The meats? Next-level. Don’t miss the Xita Fatty Beef, marinated with apple for natural sweetness, or the showstopping Pineapple Beef Sirloin — thick, juicy slices paired with grilled pineapple for that perfect sweet-smoky bite. And for something unique, the Marinated Pork Skin crisps up beautifully on the claypot and absolutely sings when dipped into their house-made signature sesame sauce packed with ten ingredients like coriander and onion.

Not into beef? The Singapore menu’s got you covered with more pork and seafood options. The Signature Marinated Pork Fillet, Special Pork Collar, and Cold Dressed Chicken are all solid picks, but it’s the Golden Tofu and Cold Buckwheat Noodles (topped with apple slices!) that offer a refreshing break between meats.

With its rich backstory, authentic charcoal grills, and unbeatable hospitality, Xita Lao Tai Tai isn’t just another BBQ joint — it’s a must-visit experience. Gather your makan kakis and get grilling… before the queues start snaking like they do in Beijing!
