蒋先森 MR.Jiang Fusion Cuisine — Restaurant in Johor

From the moment we stepped into Jiang Fusion Cuisine, we knew we were in for a treat. We were welcomed warmly by a cheerful service staff who instantly set the tone for the evening with her bright smile and friendly attitude. What stood out was how she took the time to share her personal favourites from the menu—something we always appreciate in a new spot. And to our delight, her recommendations turned out to be spot on.

Our meal started on a playful and unexpected note with a game of “Poison” drink. One of us ended up with a bitter herbal tea, meant to help reduce heatiness (and perhaps add a touch of mystery), while the rest were served a sweet, Ribena-like concoction. It was a fun icebreaker and a whimsical start to the meal that left us chuckling. Then the food began arriving, and each dish brought its own little surprise. The Dancing Golden Beancurd was a textural masterpiece. Lightly crisp on the outside, with a silky soft centre, it had that addictive umami quality that made it disappear quickly from the table. We followed that up with the Pickle Peppers Golden Soup Bullfrog, which turned out to be one of our favourites. The broth was tangy, spicy, and deeply flavourful, and the bullfrog was tender and well-prepared—definitely a dish for those who enjoy bold, vibrant flavours. Another show-stealer was the Pan-fried Oyster Omelette, a clever and elevated take on the street food classic. It was crispy, generously studded with plump oysters, and didn’t feel greasy at all. The Claypot Lala with Prawns was also a standout—fragrant, brimming with sweetness from the shellfish, and served piping hot in a comforting claypot style that made us crave more even after we were full. The Crispy BBQ Pork Wrap was a pleasant surprise—it had the look and feel of Peking Duck, complete with delicate crepes and crispy skin, but with a sweet-savory BBQ pork twist. A creative reinterpretation that worked beautifully. Now, let’s talk about the Signature Green Mustard Rice—a genius creation, especially for those of us trying to avoid a heavy carb load. It was light, fragrant, and provided a perfect balance to the richer dishes on the table. We found ourselves reaching for second helpings despite our “low-carb” intentions. Not every dish was a winner, though. The Spicy Chicken with Egg Pudding didn’t quite work for us. The chicken lacked the punch we were hoping for, and while the egg pudding was delightful (so much so that we could imagine kids fighting over it), it felt like it belonged in a different dish altogether. Similarly, the Fuzhou Fish Ball and Meat Dumpling Soup was just average—not bad, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression compared to the other stars of the night.

Just when we thought we couldn’t eat anymore, we were persuaded to try the Chinese desserts—and we’re so glad we did. The Puff Pastry Milk Roll was delicate, creamy, and utterly satisfying. It was a perfect, light way to round off the meal without tipping us into full food...

We came here for 3D2N, and this was literally the best meal we ever had in this trip!

What we had, and our take:

1. Sauerkraut fish soup: Some of us felt that this is even better than Tai-Er! When you one mouth of this soup, the flavours will just come bursting in your mouth, with the combination of garlic, peppercorn and their sesame oil! This is really hands down the best dish we tried here! But it can get quite spicy for some. 🌟🌟

2. Dancing hot plate tofu: very unique combination of hot plate tofu with bonito flakes - that’s why the name is dancing. Easily one of our top favourite too! The tofu is crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside, and the sauce will leave you craving for more! 🌟🌟

3. Claypot Stew Chicken: super tender chicken that literally fall off when you try to cut the chicken, especially the thigh area. Even the breast meat was not typically dried. My friend said the best part is their chicken skin, and she is not wrong. We literally had to scout for more chicken skin. 🌟

4. Fried rice: Not something to shout, but it’s okie. Can order if you want an alternative to plain rice.

5. French meat with deep fried minced meat: Super spicy! All fo us sweated like crazy! Though it’s flavourful, but this is really way too spicy for all of us. Order at your own risk! 🌟

All in all, alll 4 of us said that we will come back here and eat again! It’s worth the calories, especially if you are near Mount Austin.

We just had one comment: we hope they can improve their cleanliness. Plates aren’t as clean and they actually put the utensils at the outdoor areas, resulting in some of them having hair and dust being collected. If you are seated outside, please ask for new sets...

Located in the ever-popular Mount Austin area, Mr Jiang Fusion Cuisine stands out with its creatively presented and flavorful dishes that blend traditional Chinese flavors with modern flair.

Our meal started with the Crispy BBQ Pork with Wrap—a Beijing roast duck-style presentation where you wrap slices of pork with cucumber sticks in thin wraps. The dish arrived dramatically with cold smoke, adding to the wow factor before we even took the first bite.

Next was the Pineapple in Love with Shrimp Balls—a visually stunning dish served with a real pineapple, half the shrimp balls nestled within the fruit, and the rest perched on pineapple slices outside, again enhanced with cold smoke for effect. Unique and refreshing!

The Pan-Fried Oyster Omelette was unlike the usual—packed with vegetables and eggs, giving it a lighter, healthier twist. Another standout was the Claypot Dancing Golden Beancurd, rich in ingredients and topped with generous amounts of squid flakes reminiscent of Japanese yakitori.

The Stewed Claypot Chicken was flavorful and hearty, though a touch on the salty side—perfect with rice. A fun surprise came with their drink set: six glass bottles, five with lime juice and one bitter—creating a playful Russian roulette moment at the table!

The staff were warm and welcoming, and we were told the menu features over 50 dishes—plenty of reasons to return. Overall, my family was thoroughly impressed by both the taste and the stunning presentation of the food. Highly recommended for those looking to enjoy fusion cuisine...
