Modern Teochew tapas and seafood on Lorong Mambong
Great place for teow chew food. Food are well seasoned and portion size is generous, more suited for group and single person. Service is friendly and attentive! Best to book a table to secure seating as it can get crowded especially dinner slots. Highly recommend their cold crabs are delicious! Pork stomach soup and pork jowl were delightful too!
Had a great dining experience at Shao, Holland Village! The blood cockles and fermented crab with soy sauce were exceptionally fresh. The fish was flaky and beautifully executed, definitely the star of the show in my opinion. The other dishes, as shown in the photos, were also well-cooked and enjoyable. Service was another highlight, with the staff being attentive, prompt, and quick to respond to our requests. Great food complemented by excellent service. Keep up the good work!
POV: You’re exploring modern Teochew comfort food with a contemporary twist. 🥢✨ If you’re looking for a polished spot serving elevated Teochew classics in Singapore, SHAO (潮) delivers a solid spread of authentic, comforting flavors. Here’s an honest breakdown of our tasting menu: 🦐 Pan-Fried Shrimp Pancake (香煎虾饼): A total standout! Thin, crispy on the edges with a lovely chewy texture—make sure to eat this while it’s hot. 🦆 Braised Combination Platter (卤水双拼 - Duck, Pig Trotter & Tau Kwa): The braising sauce is aromatic, coating the tender meats nicely without feeling overly fatty. 🦀 Marinated Raw Roe Crab (生腌膏蟹): Brimming with rich crab roe and very fresh, though raw marinated seafood remains an acquired taste! 🥣 Teochew Beef Ball Soup (潮汕牛肉丸汤): The broth is wonderfully clear, clean, and sweet. The beef balls have a firm bite (a touch tough, but overall delicious when served piping hot). 🍚 Mixed Seafood Fried Rice (海皇炒饭): Labeled spicy, but it’s actually mild—pair it with their house sambal chili to bring out that full wok-hei flavor! 🥬 Stir-Fried Qinglong Cai (炒青龙菜): Light, clean, and perfectly crunchy. 🍉 Mixed Fruit Platter in Teochew Style (潮汕甘草水果捞): A traditional, herbal-sweet licorice fruit finish that cleanses the palate completely. A fantastic option for group dining, business lunches, or family weekend meals! 👉 Ready to try modern Teochew dining? Book your table early at SHAO for an authentic, high-quality meal!

I had a recent dining experience here that showed the true heart of this restaurant’s hospitality. During dinner, my father suffered a sudden leg injury from a misstep, and was unable to walk on flat surface. The team stepped in without hesitation Special thanks to the staff Nic and Weiru for their incredible kindness and assistance! Nic even went out of his way to try to source a wheelchair from a nearby clinic and personally helped us navigate my dad all the way to the carpark. Their empathy and care in a stressful moment went far beyond standard service, and my family is deeply grateful. 🥰 Ambience & Highlights: The space itself is stunningly designed and makes for a lovely modern bar setup with a great vibe. 🤗 As for the menu, a few dishes really stood out: • Hokkaido Cuttlefish Sausage: My absolute favourite of the night. Highly aromatic with a wonderful bite. The contrast between the white and black cuttlefish sausage was subtle in flavor, but the prominent squid and cuttlefish aroma made it a highlight. • Teochew-Style Cold Crab: Very well executed. The crab was firm, juicy, and cooked so well that the flesh slipped off the shell effortlessly. Generous amount of crab roe in every bite! Overall Thoughts: While some of the other dishes fell closer to average for the price point, the standout dishes, beautiful setting, and above all, the extraordinary warmth and helpfulness of Nic & Wairu, and the team made for an unforgettable evening. Thank you again to the staff for taking such good care of us!
