We have found a new Japanese Restaurant in town. The exact location is the junction of Macalister Road and Madras Lane. The restaurant serves fusion Japanese Cuisine. The taste is more suited for the local tongue rather than Japanese. For a quick dinner, we had pork chop rice, noodles and a stir fired chicken rice.
As usual, for starters at a new Japanese restaurant, I would try out one of their basic dish which is their pork chop rice or tonkatsu don. It was average to my standard. The pork chop was breaded and deep fried to slightly over brown, but it was still tender inside. May be they should look into the oil temperature or the lifespan of the frying oil. Taste wise was a bit more salty comapre to the ones I have eaten.
As the stir fry chicken rice that Gill had, taste was also on the heavy side of savory and sweet. The pairing of french beans gave the dish a fresh and crunchy feeling. For rice lovers, it went well with the bowl of plain white rice.
Our business associate had a bowl of their noodle. We were busy talking and rushing for time, thus I did not had an opportunity to taste or ask him of what he felt about the noodle.
To sum up our experience at Jit Xin:
Taste & Texture: 2.9/5 (average with room to improve)
Money Value : 3.8/5 (price wise is quite cheap with a standard portion for my tonkatsu don)
Service: 2.5/5 (need to be more pro-active)
Cleanliness: 4.0/5 (still new, lets wait and see)
Atmosphere: 3.0/5 (quiet)

Some Japanese Restaurants would have 2 to 4 kitchens, sushi is one of them. We too would enjoy sushi and sashimi whenever we have the time.
