Chao Shan food is a well-loved style of Chinese cooking that has found a strong following in Singapore.

The cooking style uses gentle techniques and minimal sauces to let ingredients speak for themselves.

Signature favourites are steamed fish, braised duck with tofu, oyster omelette, and orh nee. Porridge meals are comforting and perfect for sharing with family or friends.

Steamed seafood is often the highlight, paired with delicate dipping website sauces. Look out for cold crab, a delicacy served chilled and best enjoyed with a tangy vinegar dip.

Popular spots offering authentic flavours are Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine at Newton and Swatow Seafood Restaurant at Toa Payoh.

Overall, Teochew (Chao Shan) cuisine continues to thrive in Singapore thanks to its time-honoured recipes and loyal fans.
