Jiah Xiang Dim Sum - 24-Hour Handmade Dim Sum from RM2.50 (S$0.80)

When it comes to satisfying dim sum cravings in Johor Bahru, Jiah Xiang Dim Sum (佳香点心茶楼) has carved out a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. With multiple outlets across JB and an impressive menu featuring nearly 50 varieties of handmade dim sum, this establishment has redefined what it means to enjoy traditional Cantonese-style dim sum in Malaysia.

What sets Jiah Xiang Dim Sum apart from many traditional dim sum restaurants is its extended operating hours. While dim sum is typically associated with breakfast and brunch, Jiah Xiang challenges this convention by serving these beloved delicacies from early morning until late night. Their Plaza Sentosa outlet even operates 24 hours daily, making it the perfect spot for those late-night dim sum cravings or early morning meals before the sun rises.

With more than two decades of experience in dim sum preparation, Jiah Xiang’s culinary team emphasizes fresh ingredients and handmade preparation. Every morning, skilled chefs prepare a diverse range of steamed, fried, and baked dim sum items.
