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.
一辈子只要做好一件事，就算功德圆满,
真正的艺术品是不能复制的, 他有根和灵魂的价值所在。
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.
