Looking for Zi Char places?

[JALAN BESAR, SINGAPORE] Everyone, I think I have found another great hidden zichar restaurant in the heart of the Jalan Besar region! Even though this was a tasting, I enjoyed the food alot and I will be back again 😍

If @dynasty_fried_porridge calls themselves this way, their Dynasty Famous Fried Porridge 🍲 ($8.50 for small portion) should be good. True enough, it was very smoky and had a strong umami. It wasn't too salty either, and I appreciated the little bits of yam within that added texture to this dish!

What's even better is their Hong Shao Braised Pork Stir Fried Bee Hoon 🍜 ($11) which was so flavourful. It had a good wok hei, and they managed to not make the noodles soggy! The meat was very tender as well.

For sides, their Prawns Paste Wings 🍗 ($13 for smal portion) was really a great accomplishment. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, I liked how it wasn't too salty and yet delivered the umami we expect from prawn paste. What's even better was their Salted Egg Sotong 🦑, as it was so crispy, and yet the squid within wasn't overcooked! The squid pieces tasted very fresh and didn't seem frozen.

When all dishes are hits, you know their chef really has the skills. I can't wait to bring my friends and family here! Thank you @dynasty_fried_porridge for the invite 😁

French beans, pork belly with tau kwa, otah, omelette, honey chicken. Is this the meal that ends our trips here? This was our favourite caifan for the variety and standard, but on this day the dishes were boring and mediocre, while the rice had so little gravy zzz. So disappointed.

Possibly my favourite dish here. In addition to my earlier review, the meat this time was such quality.

Their this sauce is spicy, if that's how you like it. The crayfish was meaty enough, although sizes can vary.

The cheese sauce was heavenly, possessing a sweet note. Order this for the sauce, not butter crab, which is dry.

Wrong dish but we accepted because we waited too long.

Normal.

SHAO brings a refreshing take on Teochew classics, and their Signature BBQ Roe Crab is a must-try. Freshly delivered crabs are steamed and grilled to perfection, locking in natural flavors and ensuring every bite is packed with rich crab roe.

Designed for sharing, the communal-style dishes make it perfect for group dining. Highlights include the Pan-Fried Shrimp Pancake, a kid-friendly favorite, and the comforting Teochew Beef Ball Soup with its distinct garlicky aroma. Pair a bowl of rice with flavorful dishes like the Grilled Pork Jowl and Stir-Fried Qinglong Cai for a satisfying meal.

Nice 👍
