About us · Our family story

A Taste of Tradition,
Made with Heart.

For generations, Jin Man has been dedicated to the art of making traditional fishballs and fish cakes.

Our journey began as a humble roadside stall in the 1970s and continued to grow with the establishment of the Jin Man brand in 1997. Today, as a third-generation business, we remain committed to preserving the traditional craftsmanship and authentic taste that have been passed down through our family.

From our family to yours, we are proud to bring the authentic taste of traditional fishballs to every table.

A humble roadside stall.
The beginning of our family story.

Our craftsmanship

Care in Every Step.
Tradition in Every Bite.

At Jin Man, we believe that great food begins with great ingredients, careful craftsmanship and a genuine passion for what we do.

Our fishballs and fish cakes are carefully made using selected fish and traditional techniques, with a strong emphasis on quality, consistency and food safety.

While we respect the traditions that shaped our business, we continuously improve our production and standards to meet the expectations of today’s customers.

“It all began at a humble roadside morning market in the 1970s, where my grandfather’s passion for crafting the perfect fishball first drew in crowds. Using only the freshest ikan parang and a secret blend of traditional spices, his handmade fishballs were a revelation. As the years passed, my parents took the reins, honing the recipe and expanding the business. Now, as the third generation to carry the torch, I’m proud to share our story — a tale of tradition, dedication, and a love for serving up authentic flavours that bring people together.”
