Here’s what we tried, Boiled Fish In Pepper Salt (Peppercorn Boiled Fish) with sizzling hot numbing peppercorns. This dish consists of poached sliced fresh Tioman fish atop a generous bed of poached vegetables such as soybean sprouts and bean curd skin noodles. The sliced fish are dusted with grounded secret spices and a drizzle of fragrant oil. Next, smoking red hot oil are poured on the dried chilli pepper, peppercorns and fresh scallions to release the mala flavour and aroma.
Each slices of Tioman fish is silky and tender fish and hit the spot when you are craving for a numbing saline shiok bite of boiled fish. The soybean sprouts are sweet and crispy and offers a refreshing bite. The beancurd skin noodles are there for some springy texture and as a alternative carb to fill you up. Beware of the peppercorn when you eat this dish, these are flavour bombs that numb your tongue with tingling sensations when you bite into them.
Chongqing Spicy Chicken are freshly deep fried chicken in light fluffy batter. These are chicken chunks coated in a secret batter and dusted with flour before deep fried to a golden crunch. These are then stir fry quickly in Sichuan peppercorn and spices. These golden savoury chicken pops are addictive with a satisfying umami crunch and a tad bit of numbing sensation. We were told that they can sell up to 40kg of Chongqing Spicy Chicken in a day, hence must try this when you are there.
SuanCai Fish in Sour Cabbage Golden Broth are freshly poached fish lightly simmered in a tangy sour cabbage broth. This is also laid on a generous bed of vegetables such as soybean sprouts, glass noodle and sour pickled cabbages. Slurp up the slippery glass noodles with the rich golden broth with some sweet crunchy soybean sprout and crispy sour pickled cabbage. The sliced fish are coated with a velvety glaze and tender too. This is also our editor’s choice.
Stir Fried Yellow Beef (Hunan Style Sauteed Beef) $23.90/ $18.80(member price) is served on a heated mini stove with tealights. These are stir fried marinated beef in red chilli and pickled green horn pepper. The braised beef are caramelised with sweet soy sauce and infused with garlic and cilantro aroma. Springy beef texture with a tender and savoury kick. If you love stir fried caramelised beef with wok hei, you can try this Jia Xiang Chinese Restaurant signature.
Crabmeat Mushroom (Crab Flavour mushroom) $15.80/ $12.80(member price) are crabmeat mushroom that are deep fried in a fluffy thin crust like tempura style. These are then tossed in a light citrusy diced pepper sauce for some flavours. Do note that there are no crab meat used in this dish and no crabs are harmed in the making of this dish.
Minced Preserved Egg With Chilli Pepper ($9.80) is served in a dainty pink pot with wedges of century eggs and julienned green pepper. They have a minced for you table service where the service crew will pound and grind the century egg and green peppers into a savoury creamy blend of pungent century egg with refreshing pepper. You can also DIY this pounding for more fun.
Lamb skewers and Chicken Skewers ($1.30 & $1 each respectively) are grilled to order meat skewers and coated with secret bbq spices and a dash of sesame seeds before serving. These are grilled to perfection and are umami and aromatic. Meats are moist & tender and certainly very savoury bites of meats that goes well with some cold icy boozes. We love that these are served on metal skewers instead of wooden skewers, making it easier to remove every bit of meat from the skewers.
Hand Torn Cabbage($9) are cabbages stir fried in a wok with lots of wok-hei. These sweet cabbage has a smoky char soy flavour. We were told that these need to be hand torn for the cabbage to better infuse the seasoning flavours and release the natural sweetness of the cabbages during cooking.
