Qing Shan Dao is an eatery with nett prices in Tai Seng
The 2024 GST hike—hello, 9% GST—is becoming the bane of our existence. It’s getting incredibly costly to dine out in this economy! So when we were invited to Qing Shan Dao, an eatery with nett prices in Tai Seng, we were excited to try their wallet-friendly offerings.

We tried their Kabayaki Eel ($12.90), which reminded us of unagi don at first glance. You get a bowl of short-grain rice topped with marinated eel, onsen egg, a wedge of lime, and shredded seaweed, along with a miso soup, and a side of salad.
It was apparent that the eel was fresh, and prepared with a lot of effort: you get deboned and grilled eel that’s marinated with a sweet soy sauce. The unagi flesh was so soft that we could mix it with the remaining ingredients, and have it like a Japanese mixed rice dish.
If you’re not into seafood, there are other options available here: Curry Fried Pork Cutlet ($11.90), and Grilled Chicken Thigh & Wagyu Beef Combo ($11.90) are just some examples.
Fans of sour-spicy combination can get their Golden Sauerkraut Fish Noodle ($8.50) AKA suan cai yu. Each bowl comes with a handful of noodles, corn, bok choy, bamboo shoots, and pickled vegetables submerged in a mildly spicy and sour soup.
The noodles used in this dish aren’t QQ—instead, they are on the softer side. We also liked that the fish slices weren’t too thin, so we could enjoy them in a single bite.
Here’s another W: the eatery is located in Grantral Mall, which is a quick two-minute walk from Taiseng MRT Station!
