Teochew Cold Crab

The three options of Pao Fan at Chao Ting

Teochew-style

Steamed Pomfret

JUMBO Group’s latest food concepts,

Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Cuisine and

Chao Ting, have opened at Far East

Square. Both pay tribute to Teochew

cuisine, serving up classic dishes that

grandma would approve. One of the

most striking features of Zui Yu Xuan

is the intricate embroidery art from

Chaozhou that adorn both floors of

the restaurant. Admire elaborate,

golden four seasons art pieces and

traditional opera costumes on the

walls of the staircase as you make your

way to the upper dining room. Menu

highlights include Teochew Cold Crab

($12/100g) – sweet flesh flecked with

rich crab roe and paired with a piquant

garlic chilli – and the comforting

Pomfret Pao Fan ($108).

Office executives looking for a

quick lunch can head over to Chao

Ting for a fuss-free serving of King

Prawn Pao Fan ($11). The belly-warming

broth is made of large prawns, chicken,

pork and fish bones, and topped with

egg floss, dried shrimp and puffed rice.

Evocative of street side push carts,

you can choose a steaming bowl from

the counter (located just next to the

courtyard entrance of Zui Yu Xuan)

and pick a seat among the assortment

of tables scattered outside. Zui Yu

Xuan Teochew Cuisine, 130/131 Amoy

Street. Tel: 6788 3637. Chao Ting, 132

Amoy Street.
