Love this place: great service with good dessert and mains and coffee. Cappuccino is good, Tiramisu is good and Shakshuka is tasty.
Cold Brew Orange (RM 13) is nice, but probably too much orange (sourish). The star is the Cheese Terrine Cake (RM 13), soft and milky, and feels very much like Japanese cheesecake.
Highly recommended - Signature Meatball Platter (RM32.90) 👍👍💥 Meat Balls are made of lamb, beef, chicken, and pork. Mandarin oranges and green apple slices were served alongside. My senses are definitely tickled. With the signature homemade Chef's special sauce and cabbage braised in red wine, the meatball extravaganza left everyone like it so much! Aromatic herbs and natural spices are expertly mixed into this cuisine.
Overall, I found the dimsum at Ying Jia pretty good and value for money. The owners themselves are out and about serving customers, and service is fast and friendly.
The French Toast caught our attention as we skimmed through the menu. It was too inviting not to order! The homemade fat white bread is soooooo good! Prolonging on the so just cause. With heaps of fresh fruits and side of fresh cream. Vibrant, just like how we want our day to be!
Our favourite goes to their HamHamSapBelly RM30, also a must-try here. Fork-tender, juicy pork belly with a good proportion of fat and meat, topped over a hearty bowl of rice along with poached egg, edamame, crispy lard and tongarashi.
My personal favourite is Miso (RM17), which is only available on Sundays. The cake is made with layers of miso caramel cream, miso crème brulee, white chocolate mousse, almond sponge and chocolate sable Breton. The miso lends the dessert a slight saltiness, so the sweetness is not overpowering.
Overall, we enjoyed the food and the chill ambiance – with plenty of flora to soothe the soul (and food to fill the tummy).
His 'Far Sang Wu' 花生糊 is a creamy and super smooth velvety texture with amazingly rich roasted peanut flavour. While I like my peanut paste creamy and smooth, I don’t like overly thick ones that somewhat stick to the throat when you swallow it so his version of the dessert is a slightly watered-down one.
Tamagoyaki Sando, 18 ringgit The bread came with a nice dose of wasabi and some curried mayo? The thick patty in the middle is apparently Japanese omelette. I wouldn’t have known if I did not google the word ‘Tomagoyaki.’ It had a thin crispy outer layer and on the inside, sponge-y and soft. It felt like a nugget, if that makes sense. The texture was good, the flavors were rather unusual yet tasty. Overall, this was an awesome sandwich.
