Pink Liu Sha Bao, Silky Rice Rolls & More at Tian Xin Lou near JB CIQ

#favouriteitinerary Tian Xin Lou at Jalan Dhoby in Johor Bahru is a charming dim sum spot with an inviting green-themed decor that blends modern aesthetics with traditional Cantonese teahouse vibes. It’s a cozy place for a leisurely meal, perfect for catching up with friends over a comforting spread. We love their wide variety of dim sum and noodle dishes. The fried carrot cake is packed with flavor, especially with the crispy bits of fried lard adding an extra punch. The braised chicken feet are rich and well-seasoned, while the steamed eggplant with savory sauce is a lighter but equally satisfying option. Their shrimp dumplings have that perfect translucent skin, revealing fresh, juicy shrimp inside. The char siu rice noodle rolls are another favorite—soft, silky rice rolls filled with sweet and smoky barbecued pork, all drizzled with a flavorful sauce. Their steamed rice rolls also stand out, with a smooth, chewy texture that soaks up the light, savory sauce beautifully. One of the highlights of our meal was the pink bun liu sha bao, a soft, fluffy bun oozing with warm, silky salted egg custard lava. The balance of sweet and salty flavors was just right, making it a real treat. We also enjoyed the honeycomb taro balls, a crispy, golden delight with a creamy taro filling inside. Their xiao long bao come with both prawn and pork fillings for a mix of textures and flavors, while the red oil wontons deliver just the right amount of spice. Beyond dim sum, their signature wonton noodles are a must-try, with springy noodles and a light yet flavorful broth. If you’re in the mood for something comforting, the century egg porridge is smooth, rich, and satisfying. With its prime location at Jalan Dhoby, Tian Xin Lou is an easy stop for anyone exploring the area. Open from 7 AM to 4 PM daily, it’s a great spot whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a full dim sum feast. #thingstodo #myitinerary #localfood
