[2025 Plentong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Restaurant Teck Sing (Updated Jul)

We went to Teck Sing Restaurant at Taman Sentosa in JB to try their famous paper baked herbal chicken and it didn’t disappoint. The other dishes we ordered were very delicious too: sweet & sour pork, oatmeal prawns, egg fu young, sambal kangkong and soup of the day. The total bill came up to RM170 or RM34 per pax (split among 5 of us). It was really a good quality and value-for-money meal and we will definitely be back to order the other menu dishes next time we are in JB!

Restoran Teck Sing serves up comforting Malaysian-Chinese dishes in a bustling, no-frills setting. A longstanding favourite, this place is known for its signature paper-wrapped herbal chicken, fish-head curry, and Indonesian curry prawn — all praised for their rich, aromatic flavours. Highlights include: • Paper-wrapped herbal chicken: Succulent and tender, infused with herbal spices and often ordered by nearly every table. • Herbal chicken and fish-head curry: Deeply flavourful and memorable, with complex spice blends that elevate these dishes. • Hotplate otah, sambal petai, special deep-fried fish, and prawn oats: Generous, tasty sides that complement the mains well. The restaurant consistently draws crowds — expect queues even mid-afternoon — and the atmosphere is lively and occasionally noisy. Parking can be a hassle, and the decor is simple, but the value is strong: dishes are reasonably priced, typically RM50–70 for a full meal for 3–4 people. Service is generally quick and efficient, although peak hours can feel a little rushed. A recent solo diner affirmed its appeal: “Cheap, good and fast… highly recommended.” Final Verdict Restoran Teck Sing delivers satisfying, flavour-packed Malaysian-Chinese classics — especially their herbal chicken and curry prawn — in a familiar, laid-back setting. While you might rub shoulders with other diners and hunt for parking, the affordable flavours and hearty portions make it a worthwhile stop in JB. #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #localfood #johor #johorbahrutrip

there baked chicken is one of a kind 100/10

#travelanywhere Went to have tze char at Teck sing chicken again during my weekend trip to Johor Bahru. Teck sing is located quite near KSL and the customs , it’s super convenient so you can easily just book a grab over here and transport fee is not too expensive. Ordered the tie pan tofu which was delicious and it came with so many pieces of tofu! The Kang Kong vegetables with garlic was also super flavorful and nice that I enjoyed it so much. In my opinion it’s nicer than the sambal one. Then I also had the ngoh hiang which came in such a large portion for the price paid that I was super surprised. But it was nice and would definitely order again. And lastly is the signature paper chicken which was so so flavorful and good. Love the soup and can taste the herbal so well. It’s really the best I ever had and the chicken is just so tender. Really worth it for the price paid and would definitely revisit. Came here lots of time already and the standard is still there and good. Recommend coming during non peak hours though otherwise need wait awhile for the seats to be available.

High recommend the herbal chicken and petai the food very nice must try

#wheretogo I recently checked out Restaurant Teck Sing in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and I've got to say, it was a pretty cool experience. One thing that caught my attention right away was the prices – they're reasonable, and you get some seriously good food for your money. Their signature paper wrap chicken was a real standout. It's got this unique Chinese medicinal flavor that's kinda intense but in a good way. If you're into trying something different, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. Now, their soups also deserve a shoutout. I went for the chicken feet soup, and it was not only super tasty but also served in a generous portion. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't do reservations, so if you're hitting them up during peak hours, be ready to queue for a bit. Wait times can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. But the cool part is that once you order, the dishes hit the table pretty fast, even when the place is buzzing with customers. All in all, my experience at Restaurant Teck Sing was a real treat. Affordable, tasty dishes, that unique paper wrap chicken, and some seriously good soups – it's a spot worth checking out. Yeah, you might have to wait a bit, but the food makes it totally worth it.

This restaurant became one of my favourite in jb because of their paper chicken! Super juicy and moist meat and most importantly, it’s only rm12!Other than chicken, they also served dishes like curry fish, and Kang Kong which was nice as well. Almost every table had one paper chicken on their table, this is how good it was. Do note that their last order is at 8:30pm as they close at 9.
