If you love the peppery, herby comfort of bak kut teh, you’ll want this in your next hotpot session.
Haidilao Singapore has launched the all-new Nanyang Bak Kut Teh Soup Base, a slow-simmered broth that’s rich, aromatic, and made for dunking everything from pork to mushrooms to bouncy noodles. It comes with a lineup of limited-time Nanyang-style ingredients and dishes, plus fun giveaways and retro-themed activities happening at selected outlets.
What’s new and interesting
The star of the launch is the Nanyang Bak Kut Teh Soup Base—think pepper-led fragrance, warm herbal notes, and tender pork ribs that round out the broth with a comforting, old-school bak kut teh feel.
It’s not just a new soup base, either. Haidilao is leaning into the theme with Nanyang-inspired add-ons, snacks, and even dress-up photo moments in certain stores. And yes, there are prizes involved.
What to order with the Nanyang Bak Kut Teh Soup Base
Limited-edition broth pairings (aka the “best with bak kut teh” picks)
These are designed to taste extra good in that peppery broth:
-
Premium Pork Collar: thin-sliced with nice marbling, so it turns crisp and springy after a quick dip.
-
Mini Sausages: made for fast cooking, and super flavourful once they soak in the soup.
-
Nanyang Portobello Mushroom: big, meaty slices that add extra umami to the broth.
-
Nanyang Refreshing Fresh Water Chestnuts: sweet, crunchy, and super refreshing between bites.
-
Crystal Glass Noodles: silky and springy, and they drink up the broth like a sponge (in the best way).
Limited-time Nanyang hotpot dishes (for a full “feast” moment)
If you’re the type who likes a table full of sides, these are worth adding:
-
Nanyang Traditional Crispy Youtiao: freshly fried, golden, and basically made for dunking.
-
Nanyang Crispy Pork Ribs: marinated and fried, crunchy outside and tender inside.
-
Nanyang Golden Prawn Cutlet: juicy prawns with a golden crust for a satisfying bite.

Pro tips for the best “bak kut teh hotpot” experience
-
Go half-half on soup bases if you’re with friends: keep one side Bak Kut Teh, and make the other something lighter (tomato or mushroom) for contrast.
-
Dunk youtiao last-minute. You want it soaked, not soggy—give it a quick dip, then eat immediately.
-
Order water chestnuts early. They’re great as a palate reset when the peppery broth starts hitting.
-
Post your plushie entry before you leave the table so you don’t forget the hashtags (and miss the redemption window).
