It was barely even mid-week and yet I was looking forward to my weekend trip to JB!
This trip would be special because I had plans to dine at Ya Wang JB who is *drum roll*…the consultant to the famous Dian Xiao Er restaurant in Singapore!
Ya Wang which also means King of Duck serves the best roasted duck in JB.
Read on and you will find out exactly why this dish is so popular!
Ya Wang JB
Restoran Ya Wang is strategically located on Jalan Segget, off-the-road of Jalan Wong Ah Fook and just 6 minutes’ walk away from JB City Square.
The reason why people frequent JB Ya Wang is because of their signature dish, namely their HERBAL ROASTED DUCK (double thumbs up!)
Compared to other shops which sell roasted duck, their dish stands out because:
- It is doused with Angelica Herb gravy which gives its that special oomph to their roasted duck
- It has Ten Wonder Herbs gravy option which is just as spectacular
- Its meat is tender and juicy

While you are there, top your taste bud experience with other meat dishes such as their sweet caramelized char roast meat (char siew) and crispy aromatic roasted pork (siu yoke).
They also serve wonton noodles (springy egg noodles served in a special made sauce), thick noodles (hor fun) and fried rice that compliments well with the meat dishes.
Other worth to try dishes are their roasted crispy skinned chicken, claypot beancurd served with seafood and vegetables in savoury sauce,
Tips:
- Although the restaurant outlook is old, it is air-conditioned which makes it comfortable to dine in.
- Go an hour before lunch time to avoid the crowd.
- Bring as many friends along because there are only the options of half or whole duck for their signature Angelica Roasted Duck and Ten Wonder Herb.
- Their normal crispy roast duck (non-herbal) may taste a little bland for some
