Famous JB101 is a Malaysian-style zi char and seafood restaurant at Sparkle, 45 Science Park Road, open 11am to 10pm daily. Noodles start at $6 for one person, sharing plates run $15 to $36, and bookings from 5pm to 9.30pm on weekdays get 10% off the whole bill through Eventful Tables.
Think of it as a 1970s-style zi char kitchen dropped into a business park. The menu cover literally says "A Taste of the 1970s Classic", and the dishes lean Malaysian: charcoal Hokkien noodles, mee goreng, belacan kang kong, a Malacca-style signature sauce fish.
It sits at 45 Science Park Road, #01-03/04 Sparkle, Singapore 117407, on the ground floor of Sparkle. It is part of a small group with other JB101 outlets around Singapore, which we map out in our JB101 outlets guide. Prices printed on the menu include GST.
Solo is cheap. Most noodle, hor fun and bee hoon plates are $6 small (1 pax) or $14 medium (2 to 3 pax), with Charcoal Hokkien Noodles at $8.90 / $18.90 and Signature LaLa White Bee Hoon at $7 / $15. Most fried rice is $7 / $14.
Sharing dishes come in two sizes. Most chicken dishes are $15 small and $22 large, pork ribs $16 to $18 small, prawns $22 to $26 small and $34 to $36 medium. Vegetables are mostly $14 / $19. For a table of four, two meats, a veg, a prawn dish and rice lands around $110 to $130 before drinks, going by these prices.
Start with the bestsellers page. Signature Fried Pork ($18 / $28) is the crowd-pleaser, 101 Sizzling Prawns ($22 / $36) arrives on a hotplate, and Fragrant LaLa ($18 / $28) is the one the menu calls the only comfort food you will ever need. Big claim. Order it and judge.
If crab is the plan, the crab bee hoon and black pepper crab are seasonal price, so ask before you commit. Our JB101 bestsellers breakdown goes through all ten starred dishes. Rookie move: ordering four fried things. Balance it with Claypot White Pepper Chicken with Goji ($20 / $36) or a vegetable.
