With my bed hair and early morning sleepy eyes, I wrote my name on the perpetual waiting list at Jing Xuan and stand by the road side with a bunch of hungry people who loves their morning fix. “What’s with these DJ people? I can easily make money by opening a decent dim sum place around Atria!” I can’t help but to keep complaining.
Glad that we manage to secure a table after a mere 20 minutes or else kampungboy will drown in my grumpy mood. Unofficial sources were saying that Kam Hin, Hong Kee, Jing Xuan, apparently are all the same. If this is true, Hong Kee has taken the right cue and opened the doors of a second restaurant of different name and different concept few streets away. Thanks to Eiling! A good part of the dim sum crowd is diverted to Jing Xuan.
Variety is the key word here, from the usual dim sum fare to marmite pork ribs, buns and pastries. The century egg congee (RM3.50) brings a smile to my face. Other than the usual century egg and minced pork, some sinful blob of salted egg yolk were added in too.

[Reply]
Wow… it sure looked crowded there! Is it always like that every day or just on weekends? Marmite pork ribs sounds good… quite difference from the usual black beans-steamed version eh! Too bad the taro puffs didnt come up to expectations – that’s one of my fave dim-sum item!

oh.. now i recognize the place! your photos so funky and cool, i thought it was new place all together! lol.. silly me. Some of the dimsum is not bad.. You picked all the good stuff. But we unfortunately tried the chicken feet – rubberized! don’t eat that:D

Very packed that day when I passby after I had dim sum @ Hong Kee
[Reply]
I wanted to try this place but too lazy to queue so i ended up in Hong Kee which was a big big disappointment lor. I will give this place a try next time.

Hong Kee and JX are not the same company. However, you may find familiar faces there because apparently some of the workers left Hong Kee and worked at JX. I know cos I asked them. JX definitely much better than Hong Kee.

i always pass by there but nv visited there though. i think it is more worth it to visit ahyat for dimsum since all of the dimsum on 50% off from mon-sat. sun is only 30% off though
[Reply]
gosh!!! how come this place so ‘kua cheong’ — extremely crowded!
[Reply]
whoa…business pouring in!
I want dim sum!! Heard Manchester is famous for dim sums… Hope I can find out soon! hehe

This is a great food blog but it would appear that the photographer cannot shoot straight – for example the colourful wooden benches, Cucuk Udang and oodles of rice vermicelli in “Nyonya Colors @ One UtamaNyonya Colors” (http://kampungboycitygal.com/?p=302) are all not level shots. Is there a problem with the camera? There are good cameras around such as those Lumix which are good yet affordable.
[Reply]
this place is certainly crowded…i guess chinese still loves dim sum so much compared to others
[Reply]
I tried this too but did not have my camera with me. good pictures taken, refreshes my memory of my best experienced din sum here.
[Reply]
I agree with eiling…..Hong Kee & JX totally not in same family…JX dim sum much much better than Hong Kee….coz i asked them also…And heard that JX going to open a new branch at Damansara Utama(Uptown) on March 2009…Congratulations…

I find JX a really great dimsum place as their dimsum is reasonable according to their portions. The only disappointment I have is the long waiting list on weekends . Their Har Kao is also really big in portion . Can you imagine the same quality of prawns you get in a 5 star dim sum restuarant and you are getting it here for RM4.50 ? . That’s one reason this place is so crowded .It’s damn affordable.
On a site note, I do agree that their fried prawn rolls are one of the best in town .
