About Jie
Jie treats Cantonese and Sichuan reference points as raw material rather than script — a Chaozhou-style braise arrives under a consommé clarified with tomato water, a mapo tofu is built on fermented broad bean paste aged in-house for eleven months. The kitchen runs a short, seasonal tasting format instead of a sprawling à la carte, which means fewer dishes but each one carrying more argument. Service is unhurried and fluent in the food's logic, happy to explain why the soup dumpling skin is folded the way it is. It rewards diners who want modern Chinese cooking argued with technique, not volume.

The mapo tofu alone is worth the drive up Jalan Batai — none of the usual heaviness, just a slow chili heat that builds over the course of the bowl.
Response from Jie
Thank you Weng Yee — that broad bean paste has been fermenting since last June, glad it showed.

Sharp, controlled cooking and a wine list that actually understands Sichuan pepper. Service explained every dish without being asked twice, which I appreciated.
