During our recent visit, we had the pleasure of sampling a variety of their dishes, each with its own unique flair. Let’s dive into the experience:The Japanese Karate Curry Chicken brought a delightful fusion of crispy fried chicken and a rich, savory Japanese curry. The chicken was tender with a golden crunch, perfectly complemented by the mildly spiced curry. The creamy curry sauce paired well with the fluffy white rice, making each bite satisfying and comforting. The Dirty Volcano Don stood out as a visually striking and flavorful dish. The seaweed fried rice, packed with umami, was the perfect base for the torched sashimi-grade salmon slices, which were melt-in-your-mouth tender. Topped with furikake, fish roe, and spring onions, each bite was a burst of textures and flavors. The onsen egg added a luscious creaminess when mixed with the rice, while the homemade sauce and sesame brought a savory balance. This dish was a delightful fusion of Japanese elements, leaving a lasting impression.
For brunch lovers, the Melbourne Lover offers a refreshing and hearty experience. Featuring succulent salmon belly, creamy avocado, crispy rosti potato, and a perfectly poached egg, this dish was a blend of richness and lightness. The sour cream and a squeeze of lime provided a zesty contrast, elevating the flavors of the salmon and avocado. It was a well-balanced dish with a great mix of textures, making it a great option for those looking for a satisfying yet light meal.
A Malaysian classic with a twist, the Nasi Lemak Rendang Lamb Shank was truly exceptional. The lamb shank was slow-cooked to perfection, falling off the bone with the slightest touch. The rendang sauce was rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, perfectly complementing the fragrant coconut rice. Paired with crunchy peanuts, sambal, and crispy anchovies, this dish was a true Malaysian delight with a gourmet twist. The Hainanese Chicken Chop Rice brought a nostalgic feel with its crispy fried chicken cutlet drizzled in a tangy sweet-and-sour sauce. The chicken was juicy, and the sauce added a nice balance of flavors. Paired with rice, this dish is a comforting classic that’s perfect for a quick, hearty meal.
Refreshing Drinks
JP & Co also has an array of refreshing drinks to wash down their mouth-watering dishes. The Gula Melaka Avocado Smoothie was a creamy delight with the rich taste of avocado balanced by the sweetness of gula Melaka. The Spring Soda, with honey, lemon, plum, and rose lime, was light, floral, and perfect for a refreshing afternoon drink. Meanwhile, the Cucumber Soda was a crisp combination of cucumber, mint, and lemon—ideal for quenching thirst after a hearty meal.
Homemade Cakes
For dessert, JP & Co’s homemade cakes are a treat you cannot miss. The Pistachio Strawberry was a masterpiece with layers of pistachio mousse, almond sponge, and strawberry jelly, all coated in a crunchy glaze. It had a perfect balance of nuttiness and fruity sweetness. The Osmanthus Yuzu cake was light and refreshing, with delicate notes of osmanthus paired beautifully with the tartness of the yuzu jelly and cream. Lastly, the Sunday Cheese Cake, with 58% chocolate and an Oreo biscuit base, was sinfully rich and indulgent—a decadent way to end the meal.
Their coffee offerings are a must-try, especially the TeaFee, a unique blend of tea and coffee that surprisingly worked together to create a rich yet refreshing drink. It’s a bold concoction for adventurous coffee lovers. The Cappuccino, on the other hand, was classic and smooth, with a velvety foam and robust espresso that hit all the right notes.
