Singapore｜SHAO 燒 @ Frankel | Modern Teochew Dining 现代潮菜

From the moment I entered this hidden gem, I was enveloped by a wave of warmth, a sign of the homely and cozy atmosphere that awaited me. With its tastefully rustic decor, soft lighting and comfortable seating, this restaurant is an embodiment of a charming home, a place where comfort meets class. The service staff deserves a standing ovation. From the friendly smile that welcomed us at the door to the servers that attended to our every need, the professionalism and warmth was second to none. They were incredibly attentive, demonstrating perfect timing and incredible knowledge about the menu. Each dish was served with a perfect balance of personal space and care, making us feel both respected and well looked after. As for the food, "amazing" does not even begin to do it justice. The menu presented an array of exquisite dishes, each harboring a tantalizing surprise. It was akin to an adventurous journey where each dish revealed new dimensions of flavors, textures and culinary creativity. The chef’s talent was clearly evident in the harmonious blend of diverse ingredients, each dish a testament to their mastery. The presentation of each plate was an art form in itself, colorful and visually delightful, teasing the senses even before the first bite. The creativity did not stop at the presentation; each bite unraveled new depths of flavor. It was clear that quality ingredients were chosen with care, cooked to perfection, and served with love. However, the one hiccup in this otherwise flawless dining experience was the parking. The restaurant is located in a secluded part of East Coast, and finding parking was quite a challenge. While this might be a bit of a turn-off for some, the extraordinary culinary experience was worth the little bit of extra effort.

Food was amazing! Would definitely recommend our friends here! We ordered: Drunken cockles Salt and Butter Prawns - this was our favourite dish Baked crabs Sotong sausage - this was a star player as it’s an uncommon dish that you can’t find outside. It’s a must try!

Hidden gem located in a secluded part of East Coast serving contemporary Teochew cuisine with no compromise on taste and quality👍🏻 The food is flavourful and we did not have any bad dishes that night! The star of the meal was undoubtedly the roasted crab which were full of flowing creamy yellow roe 🦀It was cooked to perfection, with the meat perfectly tender 😋 The black squid ink sausage is also one of their signature 🦑 Unami goodness is the way to describe it💯 Super intrigued by the deep fried baby promfet. Fried to perfection and taken with their in house spicy sambal omg so good. A little pricey, but cannot be missed!
