1-for-1 Taiwanese food promo for you & your bestie
Till 5 Jun, Jiak Ba Food Heaven's outlet is rolling out the perfect promo to celebrate the beginning of the holidays. Yes, you heard that right — it's a 1-for-1 offer: a meal for 2, but at half the price! Available only at their China Street outlet, the 1-for-1 promo allows you to get 2 of the same dish. The offer is available from 11am to 7pm, so don't worry about squeezing in during your lunch break. By day, Jiak Bar borrows its concept from Taiwanese eateries serving hot cooked food, then becomes an izakaya-style diner at night. As the newest outlet of Jiak Ba Food Heaven, expect some fresh vibes and even fresher 小炒 (xiao chao, small plates of various wok-fired dishes). For the promotion, you get to pick from 1 of 2 signature dishes. Check out this Braised Meat Rice Set (S$9.80) with chunks of pork dunked in a thick, soupy glaze. It comes with assorted veggies to make sure you hit your fibre goals, a whole braised egg, and soup to cleanse your palate. It's truly a well-rounded, hearty meal that hits home at any time of day. If rice isn't your carb of choice, you can get the Braised Beef Noodle (S$14.80) instead. Featuring a soup enriched by soy sauce, tender beef and fragrant spices, could any noodle NOT taste good? The bok choy sops up all that braised goodness, becoming a crunchy appetiser to start this indulgent meal. Remember, this offer only stands till 5 Jun, so push back all your pre-planned lunch spots. If you're not taking up Jiak Bar's promo, someone else will!

From 5pm, this new CBD makan spot serves authentic Taiwanese izakaya from $3.80
Work life can be stressful and tense, and sometimes we just want to unwind and relax after a long day. For the CBD peeps who knock off in the evening, why not swing by Jiak Bar by Jiak Ba Food Heaven at 22 China Street for small plates and booze? Opened in mid Mar 2025, this Taiwanese makan spot serves main meals like Braised Pork Belly Rice (S$9.50) and Oyster (S$7.50) during the day. But once the clock strikes 5pm, the place transforms into an Izakaya spot serving a lineup of small dishes, soups, and hot food. Kickstart your appetite with the Golden (S$5.80), a tangy, sweet fermented cabbage starter flavoured with pumpkin. If you're adventurous, try the delicious Braised Pig's Ears (S$5.80) tossed in aromatic seasonings, basil leaves and chilli. There are also lighter options like Chilled Cucumber (S$3.80) and Garlic (S$4.80). You can slurp on a variety of hearty soups such as the hot, spicy Claypot Tofu Stew (S$12.80), boasting pig's intestines and 24-hour braised tofu cubes marinated in Taiwanese Jin Xuan tea. My favourite was the Naked Pepper Chicken Soup (S$12.80), filled with chicken chunks, lala, and naked pepper. It was full-bodied and appetite-inducing. Even when the soup turned cold, it remained tasty — which says a lot. The Three Cup Century Egg (S$7.80) was a great twist to the usual chicken and mushroom renditions that I've tried at other Taiwanese eateries. The pi dan are deep fried and tossed together in a piquant soy-wine concoction, served with fragrant garlic cloves, ginger, basil leaves, peanuts, onions, and chilli. Looking for something with a little more heft? The Hsinchu Fried Vermicelli Meal (S$7.80) is a flavourful noodle dish stir-fried with ngoh hiang slices, braised pork, bean sprouts, and topped with a sunny side-up. For mini scrumptious flavour bombs, get the Oyster Popcorn (S$9.80) fried in the same savoury batter as the popular Taiwanese fried chicken, served with mini keropok. Sip on their range of cocktails, like the refreshing Apple (S$9.80), a fizzy mixture of plum liqueur and apple juice. The Drunken (S$9.80) is a 'fun' version of bubble tea with rum. If you like warm booze, give the Warm Red Date Wine (S$9.80) a go. It was a unique beverage of plum wine, En vodka and red dates. If you're looking for a new place to hang out with your work mates, visit Jiak Bar by Jiak Ba Food Heaven.
