Jiak & Sip sits tucked away on Jalan Anggor in Taman Shanghai, a spot where the everyday cafe scene meets a dash of local heritage flavor. It’s a place that draws in those looking for a straightforward, casual meal rather than a polished dining affair. The atmosphere is unpretentious with a slightly rustic, laid-back vibe—partly due to the collection of vintage knick-knacks scattered around, although these could be better arranged to enrich the setting. Without air-conditioning, the space relies on fans and natural breezes, which can feel a bit warm during the typical Malaysian midday heat.

For locals who drop by, Jiak & Sip serves as a reliable daytime stop for comfort food that leans into regional classics, often with a little twist. The menu’s highlights, such as nasi lemak paired with curry chicken and potato, Baba Laksa, and Siam Bee Hoon, showcase familiar flavors without veering into overly elaborate territory. Some dishes land better than others—for instance, the sambal petai with prawn catches attention with a proper kick, while the rice sometimes misses a mark in texture. Those after lighter fare can try items like the kaya butter toast or scones, which come across as straightforward but satisfying, especially with a cup of their signature salted cham volcano or kopisusu.

Service here is marked by friendly, approachable staff who move with ease, often accommodating extra requests without fuss—like providing sharing bowls or additional cucumber slices. This adds to the feeling that the place is about community dining rather than formalities. Food tends to arrive promptly, making it a convenient spot for a quick lunch or an informal meet-up. While the space wasn’t crowded during weekend afternoons, some popular items, like the Baba Laksa, can run out, so planning for an earlier visit might be wise.

Overall, Jiak & Sip fits best for those who appreciate honest local flavors in a no-frills setting and don’t mind the heat or occasional inconsistency. It works as a casual corner hangout for nearby residents or workers, perfect for a midday break or a laid-back weekend lunch where the focus is on straightforward food accompanied by traditional drinks, rather than a refined, air-conditioned environment.

We recently engaged Jiak And Sip for our event, and they truly exceeded our expectations! From the quality of the food to the impeccable service, everything was top-notch. The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also packed with authentic flavors that left our guests raving. Their team was professional, punctual, and very accommodating to our requests, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The portion sizes were generous, and every dish was freshly prepared with great attention to detail. If you're looking for a catering service that delivers both quality and taste, Jiak And Sip is definitely a fantastic choice. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back for future events!

Just pass by and walk in this afternoon. I know I should try their laksa or nasi lemak but we wanna try something else beside the most recommended. The sambal petai with prawn is outstanding, sambal petai and the whole combination is good, the rice can be better. The hot pot Yee Mee is just decent, soup is tasty good. Shredded Egg Scallion oil Noodle is surprisingly good. Fruit rojak is nothing special, the sauce should be stronger taste and with more peanuts. The environment is surround with all old staffs and memories, and they choose those 80s-90s songs. Just one thing… it’s getting hotter after 30 mins we sit in although there is many fans hanging on the ceiling. Today special: can redeem a durian if you spend over RM60.00 thank you boss!

Roti Bakar (rm4.50); butter amount seems excessive but i find it bearable and butter taste yumsss. bread is crunchy when i bite into it. Baba Laksa (rm16.90); i find the taste okay, just abit watery and oily. i like the sambal. food was served pretty quick. staff was friendly and helpful to us. i asked for extra cucumber they gave. they even brought a sharing bowl without me having to ask for it.

What I really liked about this place gotta be the rustic chill chair vibe more than the food unfortunately! It wasn't crowded when I came for a late Saturday lunch but the downside gotta be no more laksa :(( sad. The sambal petai was pretty spicy! While the Kaya butter toast's toast was the flaky kind with a sweet ish kind of Kaya. It was alright, pretty standard. Hor Ka sai is a strong flavour drink with lots more Milo and coffee in one cup.
