While homophonous to the words that refer to the grand and imposing imperial court of China, our name Chao Ting—the characters standing for “Teochew” and “pavilion” respectively—connotes the idyllic charm of a common place to rest. A whimsical play of words that brings to mind, at once, the opulence of the imperial court and the simplicity of a humble resting place, it is exactly what we are: a casual place for one and all to enjoy Teochew cuisine, made with ingredients fit for an imperial court.
Our speciality: the ‘Pao Fan’, a classic Chinese dish of perfectly cooked grains of rice served in a bath of light yet flavourful broth. Among the different versions found in many parts of Asia today, the traditional Teochew ‘Pao Fan’ is loved for the lightness of the soup and the silky yet toothsome texture of the rice.
Chao Ting introduces innovative modern twists to classic dishes while honouring Teochew tradition, and ours is a slightly decadent take on Pao Fan. One that, through careful conceptualisation and expert execution, is worthy of being called the “Premier” ‘Pao Fan’.
