Welcome to Joo Chiat.

We bought this as a snack. It was quite good, but maybe because we were hungry.

The menu revolves around moreish small and large sharing plates and diners can start with light bites such as Seasonal Oysters ($8 each) topped with green papaya sauerkraut and drizzled with Sichuan chilli oil, and Crispy Baby Squid ($16) which comes with a squid ink aioli dip. Other small plates include the You Mai Chai ($12) to add some greens to your diet and the Sweet XL Clams ($24) which is cooked in a light and sweet hua tiao broth topped with egg floss. The clams were delightfully plump and juicy.

The large sharing plates consist of the 12 hours braised Buah Keluak Pork Belly ($26) that has a nice Peranakan feel with the coconut serundeng and ginger flower with the achar pickles by the side. It would be great if there are steamed buns to eat with the fork tender pork belly. The Barramundi ($28) pairs with a unique garam masala pumpkin purée for the infusion of spice and sweetness. For desserts, the Ice Cream Sandwich ($12) is a wafer sandwich with black sesame parfait and drizzles of coconut caramel.

For $28 you get to dig into this hearty plate of honey bacon, pork sausage, baked beans, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms, tater tots, choice of eggs (scrambled, sunny side up or poached), a slice of sourdough toast and a mesclun salad. Needless to say, it was very filling and I enjoyed every single bite of it. Loved the cafe vibes as well! Highly recommend the coffee too ☕️

Feast your eyes on these Spanish grilled king prawns 😍🦐🔥 Not only do they look stunning, but they taste even better than they look. The succulent and juicy prawns are cooked to perfection on the grill, with a crispy exterior and tender interior that just melts in your mouth. 🤤👌🏼 The seasoning of garlic and Amontillado praline is spot on, with a delicate balance of smoky and slightly sweet flavors that bring out the natural sweetness of the prawns. If you're a seafood lover like me, you absolutely have to try this dish.

The biggest letdown also had the largest price tag. We weren’t particularly impressed with the less than crispy skin and dry meat of this roasted Spanish suckling pig.

This doesn't have the level of funk and gooeyness I crave for in a really good Basque cheesecake, but still pleases with it's mild taste and creaminess. Make no mistake, it's still rich and indulgent, and the quince ice cream exacerbates this feeling. The dessert would have worked just as well without it.
