Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 in Jinjang
[Pork-free] If you’re hankering for tong sui with nostalgic kampung feels, head on over to Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 in Jinjang.
Operating out of a corner house in Jinjang Selatan, Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 offers traditional Chinese warm desserts such as red bean and gingko barley, as well cold desserts such as longan tofu and chrysanthemum tea jelly.
Open from 6pm until midnight during the weekends, we love the warm lights that evoke the nostalgic feels of a kampung house in a new Chinese village.
Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 in Jinjang
New traditional Chinese dessert spots have been sprouting around the Klang Valley in the last few months, and we’re definitely all for it.
Folks who stay in Jinjang and Kepong will be happy to discover Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点, a new tong sui spot that just opened a few weeks ago.
Operated by a group of young friends, the service here is energetic and enthusiastic.
Opened from 6pm until midnight on the weekends (i.e. Fri-Sun), Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 serves traditional Chinese desserts as well as snacks.
What sets this space apart from other tong sui stalls is the setting, which evokes Chinese new village feels made even more romantic with the abundance of warm lights.
Find traditional tong sui and snacks here
Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 sells traditional tong sui such as Red Bean with Black Glutinous Rice (RM6), Gingko Barley (RM6), Apple & Snow Fungus (RM8) and Longan Tofu (RM7).
They also sell savoury food to go with the tong sui such as Homemade Curry Chee Cheong Fun (RM10), Fried Wantons (RM7) and Shrimp Paste Fried Chicken (RM12).
Tiam Yit Diam 甜一点 ‘s desserts
During our two visits, we tried a selection of their tong sui.
As the name implies, we found the desserts to be quite balanced (甜一点 means just a bit sweeter in Mandarin).
We could taste the natural flavours of the key ingredients, with just a good hit of sweetness.
The Red Bean with Black Glutinous Rice had a good amount of red beans in the mix with enough starchiness for a thick consistency.
The Gingko Barley was also satisfactory with plenty of barley beans and gingko for a natural taste.
No faults with the Longan Tofu either, as it was just sweet enough (without being too cloying), and the tofu cubes were fresh. The Luo Han Guo with Winter Melon Shreds (RM6) was decent as well.
Curry Chee Cheong Fun and Belacan Chicken Wings
The Curry Chee Cheong Fun (RM10) here has a more prominent Nyonya influence, due to the heavy addition of lemongrass in the curry. The noodles were silky-smooth too. The gravy was topped with fried shallots and mushrooms for more texture.
However, Ming did find the curry on the spicier side – but Max thought this paired well with the sweet tong sui.
We just thought the Belacan Fried Chicken (RM12) was just ok. Be prepared to wait awhile for the wings, as these are cooked to order (yay!).
However, while the batter was crispy (similar to the ones used for Chinese-style banana fritters) and the meat was juicy – we found the batter a bit too salty and one-dimensional. An addition spice in the batter or a sweet chilli condiment would improve the recipe, in our view.
Summary
We’ve tried a few tong sui spots in the Klang Valley , and quite a number of them did not live up to expectations.
We are happy to report that the ones served here were satisfactory, and we really like the setting and service. Do check this place out if you’re craving for tong sui in the Kepong/Jinjang area.
