Nestled in the historic Jiak Kim Street, Jiak Kim House offers a unique dining experience that blends modern Asian flavors with innovative culinary techniques by Chef Seow Tzi Qin, also known as Chef TQ. Our recent tasting session at this stylish establishment left us impressed with his creative menu and inviting ambiance.
A Warm Welcome
Our culinary adventure began with warm, freshly baked bread accompanied by the intriguing Mushroom Herbal Tea ‘Macchiato’. This innovative starter set the tone for an evening of exciting flavour combinations. And can you guess what it resembles? Here’s a hint. A peppery soup that you usually pair it with rice and/or You Tiao.
