JUBILEE’S Nanyang Coffee (R&F Mall) — Restaurant in Johor

B04 咖啡乌 Kopi-O (Kosong, Hot) = RM3.20 S03 禧座擂茶 (加南乳炸肉) Signature Lei Cha = RM15.90 Service Charge 6% = RM1.15

This is quite a Large Eatery with a Very Predominantly Green Decor. Tastefully done up like a Standard Modern Faux Kopitiam that you see in JB. I like the Modern Chinese Chill Chill type of Pop Tunes in the Background. Staffs looks like mostly Myanmmar Folks. They're Friendly and mostly keep to themselves.

B04 咖啡乌 Kopi-O (Kosong, Hot) = RM3.20

I really like the Traditional Looking Kopitiam Type of Cup they serve this in. Kopi-O has a Nice Roasted Coffee Smell and is Quite Strong. The Type that can really Wake You Up in the Morning. Also has a Noticeable Kopi Bitterness. All in all, Pretty Decent Cup of Kopi-O.

S03 禧座擂茶 (加南乳炸肉) Signature Lei Cha = RM15.90

The Dry Component of Lei Cha is actually a Bunch of Veggies and Tofu together with some Rice. But the Signature Version I got here as the name "加南乳炸肉" implies added Fried Meat Pieces which is not a Component usually seen in Regular Lei Cha.

For the Veggies, I feel they're pretty standard ingredients for a Lei Cha. There are some Green Leafy Veggies, no idea what Veg this is, probably Chye Sim, Cabbage, Tofu, Seaweed, Peanuts and Chai Poh. All of them taste standard, and when all are mixed together, they do taste nice if very Standard for a Lei Cha.

The Main Highlight of this however are the Fried Chicken Pieces. I feel that THIS is the Soul of this Dish. Its Very Well Fried with a Deep Crispy Savoury Salted Taste and a Juicy Bite. Abit like Japanese Kaarage. They're not alot of pieces, but just enough. Adding these Fried Chicken Pieces gives it a Very Nice Meaty Savoury Taste.

Usually I find Lei Cha to be a Very Beany, Very Veggie Dish. But the Inclusion of this Fried Chicken Pieces elevated this Version to a Much Higher Savoury Level that I actually enjoyed eating. No Joke, I actually think this tasted good.

Like I mentioned, I'm not a Fan of Lei Cha Green Soup, and the version here does not change my mind. And it doesn't have to be because this is how Lei Cha Soup is supposed to tastes like. I did try put 1-2 Spoonfuls of the Soup into the Rice and eat it bit by bit. Personally I didn't like how the Soup overtook the Flavour too much. For this one, I prefer to eat the Main Dish without the Soup. Another reason is there are Fried Chicken Pieces within, which I thought would become too Nua Nua if I were to flood the Bowl with Soup. In the End, even though I really don't like the taste of the Green Soup, I still drank it dry because I know that this is Healthy for me.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At RM15.90 (S$4.60) for this Signature Lei Cha, i'm honestly not sure how affordable this is compared to Lei Cha sold in Singapore because obviously its not something I eat regularly.

I feel this is worth the money because I really do enjoy eating the Dry Component part of this Dish. They do sell a Normal Version at RM11.90 (S$3.50) which I reckon will not include the Fried Chicken Pieces.

Personally I feel it is worth to shell out abit more to add that Fried Chicken Pieces because they really are a Game Changer and gives the Dish a Very Savoury Delicious Taste. I very much prefer this version compared to the Regular Veggie Veggie type of Lei Cha.

As for the Green Lei Cha Soup, I'll be honest, I am not a good judge whether this is a Good Lei Cha Soup or not. I'm just happy that I am able to drink it down despite how much I didn't like it. I can only say this Soup tastes Super Super Herbly and Strong and is most likely Very Good for your Health hahaha!

I like the Quiet Chill Environment of this Eatery and I think this is the Nearest Place you can Eat Lei Cha in JB that is nearest to the CIQ without even needing to take Grab. If you are a Fan of Lei Cha, I reckon this is probably a place I can recommend to come visit.

At first, the experience was unpleasant. The app glitched and we ended up waiting for more than 30 minutes, only to find out that the payment didn’t go through. What made it worse was that no one checked on us while we were waiting.

When I approached the cashier to pay, the communication was quite difficult. If you speak English, they tend to pass you around, and even the waiter had to call someone else but that person also didn’t understand much. It was frustrating, though I do understand their limitations. Still, not a great experience for customers.

Now for the good part the food! The coffee (Kopi C Kosong) was superb, rich and chocolatey. The kaya and eggs were also amazingly delicious. Location wise, it’s very convenient as it’s just below our condo. The outdoor seating is nice, and with today’s breeze, it was very pleasant. Once the order was placed, the service was fast too.

One area that really needs improvement is hygiene. I noticed the cashier wearing black gloves while handling my card and cash, then later touching toasted bread. I also saw some staff munching food in the food pickup area with their gloves on, then going back to serve food. It’s something the management should definitely address through better training.

Overall, great food and convenient location, but the service, communication, and hygiene could use a lot...

Updated I visited last Wednesday and another lady wearing black was preparing drinks! She is attentive and very good. This place is much cooler now with more fans installed👍

Last Posr I’d like to share some humble feedback from my visit on 10th July, between 8:45 AM and 9:30 AM. While the food was served promptly and the staff were working hard, the experience at the coffee counter unfortunately fell short. We had to wait nearly 30 minutes for our coffee to be served, and the staff member preparing drinks during that time appeared disengaged and hesitant to prepare the drink!!!

This single aspect affected the otherwise pleasant visit, and I hope the management team can review the situation. I share this feedback with appreciation for the progress already made, and in the hope that the same dedication can be extended to all parts of the service...
