Shang Social at Jewel Changi

PC Saturday, March 06, 2021

Shang Social is a dining restaurant of the Shangri-la Hotel group. Situated at level 1 of Jewel Changi, the restaurant offers modern Chinese cuisine, ranging from fine dining Chinese cuisine to casual eating Chinese cuisine. The casual range was introduced after the Post Circuit Breaker whereby food like char siew wanton noodles, dim sum are available.

The ambience was beautiful, with a touch of Oriental deco. Fortunately we were there early for dinner else queues will start after 6.15pm. We ordered most of their chef's recommended dishes as below:

1. Bamboo noodle in pork prawn broth ($15.80) - awesome tasting noodle dish. The soup was rich and delicious, with thinly sliced pork char siew that simply melt your mouth. A noodles do not have any ghee taste as well. Rating: 4.2/5

2. Kurobuta pork & truffle xiao long bao ($8.80) - 3 pcs of wonderfully done xiao long bao for truffle lovers. The soup was delicious with perfect skin thickness. Rating: 4.2/5

3. Suzhou minced pork bun ($3.50) - a very interesting dish that tasted like baked xiao long bao. Rating: 3.9/5

4. Season vegetables with oyster sauce ($10.80) - a simple dish with blanched vegetable in oyster sauce. Nothing special to shout abt. Rating: 3.5/5

5. Soya sauce chicken ($17) - the chicken was really tender and sauce was awesome. However, price a little steep for the dish size. Rating: 4/5

6. Sichuan spicy dumplings ($10.80) - 4pcs of succulent and full dumpling drenched in spicy Sichuan chilli oil and vinegar. Not as fragrant as the ones from Canton Paradise but love the juiciness of the dumplings. Rating: 4/5
