Fun fact: did you know that Jibby n Co and Serai in Empire was owned by the same person? Well if you've enjoyed their foods thus far, there here to bring you another restaurant called Jibby Chow that was only in its second day of opening at the time of writing.

Located in SS15 Courtyard (formerly known as First Subang SS15) right beside Rakuzen on the ground floor, Jibby Chow sports an urban look with lights and designs commonly seen in cafes. They serve what I would like to call "Chinese with a Twist" as they serve foods that are very Chinese-ey but are different from the conventional ones such as crab meat fried rice, lobster noodles, mongolian style lamb ribs and so on. They also serve some pretty common dishes such as roast half chicken, stir fried kailan and asparagus, salted egg bitter gourd and minced meat tofu.

The menu for the nice consisted of Mongolian style Lamb Ribs (shown in pic), roasted half chicken, minced meat tofu and chinese style red bean pancakes and durian ice cream for dessert. Foods and meant for sharing and they serve basmati rice instead of the normal jasmine rice as the owner said that basmati rice has less starch and she is concerned with the health of the customers as well.

Our favourite dish of the night is undeniably the Mongolian styled Lamb Ribs (RM 48). While I wouldn't say the ribs were tender till they fall off or anything of the sort (in fact, use the knife they give you... It'll take some mouth exercise if you just chew the entire thing- from experience) but the flavour is definitely on point. I have not had Jibby n Co but I have had Serai and I can say I do enjoy Serai's food. Slightly sweet, tangy, a little heat and a little resemblance to char siew sauce, each rib packs a huge flavour punch and just makes you want to go back the next day.

However, the strong flavours might be a little heavy and I couldn't eat more than one rib at a time 😂😂But if I ever wanted something other than the typical western lamb chop ir grilled lamb or roasted lamb, you know where I'll be heading next! Note: will change location once Jibby Chow is on the map 😂😂
