Chef Jack's Story

My story with food began in Essex, UK.

During my days at University, I along with some friends banded together to start a small takeaway business, delivering food to the student's dormitory. From there, I went on to buy a food trailer selling food on the streets of London and finally owning my first restaurant in London in 2008.

In 2013, I closed down my operations in London and moved to Singapore. My passion for food never dimmed even after numerous failures and opposition from my family. From all these, I learnt that life can be defined by two things. One, the quality of your product. Two, your personality. Your quality reflects your purpose, and your personality determines the friendships you forge in life. All that remains after, is to persevere.

I created the brand SHAO to represent the intersection between my passion for food and to encourage the fostering friendships over food. Whether you are a customer, employee or stakeholders, you are all indispensable in this journey. SHAO is for all of us. Here, I wish to say thank you to everyone who believed in me and this vision, and helping me make SHAO a reality.

SHAO'S Philosophy

Origins of SHAO「烧」

The name SHAO comes from the Chinese character「烧」. This character is formed from the characters 「火」and 「尧」. 「火」 represents fire which is used in cooking while 「尧」 represents a meeting place. It is our vision that SHAO can be a meeting place where people can share and enjoy good food.

SHAO also means roast and barbeque. Therefore at SHAO, we have created a unique menu, centring around the theme of roast and barbeque.

Faith, Life and Art

It is at the table over food and drinks where lives, culture and the gospel is shared. We believe that a good dining experience should encompass artistry, service and quality. When all these are present, dining becomes more than just food, but an experience shared with friends and family. This is the vision of SHAO.

用舍得的心经营，用匠人的心做好每一道菜！
这个世上没有天才, 只有经历过无数次的失败后的坚持, 将简单做到极致。

Signature BBQ Crab

The best way to enjoy Crabs

Succulent & Fresh

SHAO’s Signature BBQ Crab has its roots in the traditional Teochew Cold Crab. From the traditional recipe, we infused tastes and eating styles from different cultures and after many iterations, the BBQ Crab was born. Unlike Singapore’s trademark Chili Crab and Black Pepper Crab, we focused on using basic ingredients to enhance and bring out the natural sweetness and flavor of the crabs. Less is more! Our BBQ crabs are seasoned with sea salt, crushed black pepper and our signature BBQ sauce. This guarantees that our crabs retain that fresh, juicy and natural taste. Eat it as it is or with our special homemade chili sauce, wasabi sauce or salt and pepper dip, you will be sure to coming back for more.
