Signature Fried Pork is five-spice pork fried golden, and it is the dish the menu says works for "both the young and old". Translation: the safe bet for a mixed table.
101 Sizzling Prawns lands on a hotplate in a sweet-spicy sauce. It is loud, it is messy, it is the one people film. Curry Fish Head at $35 comes in a claypot and is the best value on the starred list for four people, since the price does not change with seasonal fish rates.
The crab bee hoon, black pepper crab and signature sauce fish are all seasonal price. That is normal for live seafood, but it means the bill can swing. Ask the staff what today's price is and what size you are getting before saying yes.
The signature sauce fish has a Chinese name, 马六甲, that points to Malacca. If you want the backstory on why JB101's menu reads so Malaysian, our Malaysian zi char explainer covers it. Crab lovers should read the JB101 crab guide before ordering.
