Coming to you from the team behind Fifty Tales, Jalinan joins the TTDI neighbourhood with its selection of Malaysian noodle bowls and more. Its menu is a mouthwatering study of our local cuisine, its cross-cultural origins, and developed identities. You’ll find their own takes on familiar dishes such as nasi ulam recreated as a bowl of dry laksa ulam. A meal here will help you deepen your appreciation for our vibrant cuisine and even some of the lesser-known ingredients that we can find right here in our backyard.
