[JB EATS] Restoran Jing Seng ( 金城小食馆 ) – Famous Curry Pork Ribs And Local Zi Char in Johor Bahru
We visited Restoran Jing Seng for dinner over the long weekend. The local restaurant is located at Taman Desa Tebrau along a row of shop houses. The restaurant is known for its zi char dishes and one of their signature dishes is the curry pork ribs. We arrived around 6plus and the restaurant is already full house.
The menu is written in Chinese so it is quite inconvenient for those who can’t read Chinese characters like me. Fret not, the service staffs will provide the recommendation dishes and no worries at all.
The dishes are served within 10minutes and we were quite impressed with the serving speed. The kitchen staffs are in full force and I can see there is more than one chef at work.
Here are the dishes we ordered for 6 of us.
Curry Pork Ribs RM37.50~S$12.50
The curry pork rib is a signature dish here. Creamy curry packed with flavour and the ribs tasted tender, juicy and fall of the bone easily. The curry sauce is best to drizzle over the white rice. Comforting and shiok!
Kampung Chicken – Half portion RM28.00 ~S$9.33
Surprisingly the kampung chicken here overall taste better as compared to Uncle Pou Wok . The succulent and aromatic chicken meat and dipped with pounded ginger to enhance the overall taste and best savour.
Vegetable RM13.50~S$4.50
Fried Beancurd RM12.00~S$4.00
Homemade fried beancurd with their sweet chilli sauce.
Prawn RM28.00~S$9.33
The best part of the prawns is that is already peeled and coated with the sauce.
We also ordered 3 glases of thick homemade barley RM2.00 each ~S$0.67 each. Total bill include 4 plate of rice , a pot of tea and 6% service charge at RM148.40 ~S$49.47.
I would recommend you to visit here with a group of friends or family for nice and affordable zi char dishes. There are other dishes like Stir-fried petai and sambal chilli, fish head curry, steam fish and many more.
