A Malaysian flavour

This is newest addition to our breakfast set in the coffee shop. 

Nasi lemak!! A truly Malaysian food, don't you agree? 

Simple yet satisfying meal, may be it be for breakfast, brunch or lunch. RM5 for our simple nasi lemak. 

If you prefer fried egg, that we can do that as well. RM7.

Lui Cha

If you are looking for some detox or healthier remedy, this dish will be a good option. A change from eating noodle or meat dish, we now have Hakka Lui Cha for you.

Lui cha or Thunder rice literally translated is a tea based traditional Hakka dish originated from China. 

Lui cha has a beautiful history but lengthy preparation as its ingredients need to be chopped or grinded properly. Traditionally prepared in mortar and pestle, now most people use blender to prepare the dish.  Groundnuts, tea leaves, vegetables, beancurd and other herbs are parts of this healthy and vibrant rice dish. 

You could just pour the bitter soup into the bowl and mix everything up. Or you could just eat it dry, without the soup as most people are not used to the butter tea leaves soup. I like to miss a bit of the soup into the rice and mix all the ingredients. Taste? A bit of sweet and bitter. Bring a Hakka myself, I have been exposed to Lui Cha at a young age. Of course based on own preference, you could find-tune the taste of the soup; make it more enjoyable and sweeter. 

If you are curious to know how it tastes like, do from by to my coffee shop. Open now. 

Open at night

Recently our coffee shop opened at night as we have fried wok stall operating. 

Er Gu literally means second aunt in Chinese. A lady in her 60s cooked all the dishes with the help of her son. Started from 5pm till around 11 pm, they enjoyed a steady business as just started last week. 

Portion was pretty one of the fried menu including fried rice. 

Their more famous order included tomato crispy noodle and Cantonese kway teow. 

Overall their wok hei was good. Fried to perfection and aromatic. 

My favourite is their fried kway teow. Yummy with generous ingredients in it. They even had pork belly as part of their ingredients.

Jana Goreng-Goreng stall as it is aptly named, it offers variety of fried dishes to customers. Those who love Malay fried noodle will surely love this stall.

Roselicious

A new chicken rice stall, Roselicious Chicken rice that opened early this month in Jia Hao Cafe, MJC.

Open from 9am onwards (except Tuesday), it serves lovely, juicy steamed chicken and its signature rose chicken to customers. 

Good news for those who loves liver and gizzard, they serve those too as add on. 

May be be steamed or rose chicken, they tasted good and delicious. The old school chicken rice taste. 

With drizzle of oyster sauce on top of the chicken, it gives the extra flavour to it. 

Porridge

A new stall in Jia Hao Cafe that opened sometime this month. 

Porridge stall!! The new stall offers pork, prawns to fish porridge. Definitely a good, nice meal to have to warm up the tummies in the morning.  

 

The other day, I tasted its fish and prawns porridge, on the house. It was super good, super comforting. More of congee texture, with marinated fish slices and fresh prawns. 

Pork porridge

The other day, we tried out the pork porridge. RM7 per bowl. Tasty and savoury porridge, definitely a great meal to start off the day. 

And besides porridge, this stall also selling prawn mihun. Another variation is using noodle instead of mihun. This tasty, mild broth of seafood goes well with the handmade noodle, which I enjoyed. RM9 per bowl. 

Stall: LaiGee porridge

Then we have the fix for your craving. RM9 for a good bowl of tasty and appetizing noodle broth. The sweet and spicy taste is what you would enjoy for either brunch or lunch. 

 

For now they only serve noodle with the prawn broth but soon they will add more variety such as vermicelli and kway teow. Give it a try. Not overly spicy or too strong but for those that appreciate stronger palate, its belacan dipping will add extra spiciness and taste to it.

Touch your heart

Dim sum, literally means "touch your heart" is a Cantonese dish that usually eaten for breakfast and brunch. 

Dim sum served with tea eventually evolved into the modern "yam cha".  This delectable morsel is served in bamboo steamers, making it a distinctive Cantonese culture.

Since last month, Jia Hao Cafe started provide more choice for patrons by serving dim sum. For time being, we have 10 types of dim sum for customers to enjoy. 

When think of dim sum, what is the first thing comes to mind?? Char siew bao?? Har Kau (prawn dumplings)? We have that cover for you.

Har kau

The China-originated soup dumplings aka xiao long bao is also on the menu, so for those who love the piping hot pork soup dumpling, you can give this a taste. 

Xiao long bao

Slowly gaining popularity is this bacon roll, which was loved by younger customers. Savoury bite with that bacony flavour. 

Bacon roll

Chicken feet and braised pork with yam are also quite a hit among the customers.

Chicken feet

Lo mai kai and lotus glutinous rice are both rice based dim sum that we offer.  

Glutinous rice in lotus leaf

The best seller is the custard bun. Liu sha bao is an irresistible snack that is soft and fluffy outside while oozing with egg yolk custard inside.

So when you need a quick bite or a side dish, don't forget to order one or more basket of dim sum.

New wok fried

The previous wok fried stall operated for 5 months before they called it a day last November. And now, we have new guy taking over the Wok Fried stall. 

Started end of last month, JQi Fusion Food has extensive selection of noodles, rice to dishes for  breakfast goers and lunch goers. 

The mee basah (wet noodle) got my mil's approval, almost similar to what she had in Sibu.

For kuchingites who love its tomato noodle, their tomato crispy noodle was good and flavourful. 

Fried yellow noodle was alright when my girl tasted it the other day. She was more of a mihun person but their mihun wasn't ready that morning so she went for yellow noodle instead. 

Like my girl, I wasn't too fond of yellow noodle either, so I decided to go for Cantonese fried kway teow. Can tasted the wok hei of the fried kway teow. I quite like the taste.

My man went up a knot, requested for extra egg gravy (RM8.50).  It was nice and moreish too with that extra egg gravy. 

All noodles priced at RM7 per plate (normal).
