With the highly skilled and experienced Executive Chef Christopher Chai at the helm, and esteemed team of Dim Sum Chef Low Kian Fatt and Barbeque Chef Then Boon Heng, the relatively young JIA restaurant has become the leading and most loved Chinese restaurant in Jakarta.
The culinary team successfully combines classic and authentic Chinese recipes with stylish presentation and modern twists, while still paying respect to the original dishes. JIA’s Peking-style roast duck is more than a succulent dish; it is also quite a show, as the dish is prepared by the table. Roasted without any additional condiments, the duck is cooked using its own natural juices, really packing a punch when it comes to flavour and lusciousness.
The restaurant’s famed dim sum lunch is also well-known for an obvious reason, the elaborate selection of delectable homemade dim sum is just too sumptuous to resist. The premium dim sum section includes delicacies like the steamed pork siew mai topped with abalone, or the steamed shrimp dumplings topped with bird’s nest and tobiko.
There is more where that came from, as JIA offers varied lunch and dinner menus. To top it off, the restaurant is designed with authentic Chinese values in mind, but with a contemporary touch to accentuate the modern and chic ambience of the place.
The Chef’s Perspective
“JIA means home in Chinese. It is a restaurant that makes you feel at home and remember home. JIA serves Chinese comfort food, authentic tastes yet familiar and daring to the eye with their contemporary modern presentation. I want my guests to fall in love with Chinese food all over again with my cooking.”
