JJM is about a day old, which means they’ve still got plenty of time for improvement. Don’t get me wrong, their dishes are decent enough, but they’ve got a fair bit of untapped potential. Located within Hotel 1887 itself, they seem to be an extension of Hotel 1887’s bar as my beer came from the existing hotel bar. Pro tip: place is a little hard to find, so just walk straight down the Smith street stretch until you hit the outdoor seafood restaurant.

I’m basing these initial assumptions off their wine chicken ($7.90). The rice wine pleasantly perfumed the broth the chicken & mushrooms sat in, but the taste was lacking. More salt would definitely help, and throwing a few slices of lup cheong (Chinese preserves sausages) in for extra aromatics would be perfect.⠀

As for the chicken itself, it was slightly overcooked. Bear in mind that @jjmnoodleplace is a day old, and as such, has some ways to go with their food which is why I’m a bit lenient here. Also, portion sizes are pretty small, so don’t come hungry. Or come hungry, and pound down $2 shots of beer. That’s right, 200ml shots of what tastes suspiciously like Asahi beer are only $2! ⠀
