This Chinese New Year, it invites diners to celebrate with an authentic, bold Sichuan feast featuring new specials alongside its signature dishes. Highlights include the SO DO FUN Pencai, Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng and more. Festive set menus for dine-in and selected takeaway options are also available, specially designed for groups of 2 up to 10 pax.

Additionally, diners can participate in their 100% sure-win Angbao Lucky Draw, with prizes including dish vouchers, cash rewards, and exclusive merchandise.

Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng 3/5

Toss to a prosperous new year with the Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng, priced at $29.80 for Small and $56.80 for Large. Their sauce leans towards the sweeter side.

Scallops Mapo Tofu 4.2/5

We’ve tried SO DO FUN’s Chengdu Mapo Tofu before, but enjoyed this new Scallops Mapo Tofu even more. It similarly uses firmer tofu and is served in a claypot, but with a subtle briny note from the scallops that lifts the overall flavour. We wish the scallops were slightly fresher and came in a bigger portion.

Boiled Fresh Fish in Spicy Broth 4.5/5

Our favourite at SO DO FUN continues to be the Boiled Fresh Fish in Spicy Broth ($29.80 for Small, $49.80 for Large), which is authentically bold, spicy and deeply flavourful. Tender fish slices come in a generous portion, mixed with beancurd skin, cucumber, bean sprouts and kelp, all cooked in an aromatic broth. If you prefer something lighter, consider the Sauerkraut or Fiery broths instead.

Chilled Spicy Chicken 3.8/5

The Chilled Spicy Chicken is one of the restaurant’s popular sides. It fared better than the last time we had it, with more tender chicken pieces, though we would still prefer it to be much less salty.

House Special Fried Rice 4/5

Dig into the House Special Fried Rice while it’s hot, and you’ll catch the fragrant hint of lard. It was thoroughly well-fried and paired nicely with both the Scallops Mapo Tofu and the Boiled Fresh Fish in Spicy Broth.

Available from now till 3 March 2026, SO DO FUN’s Prosperity Set Menu ranges from $118 for 2 pax up to $528 for 10 pax. For a more lavish option, the Abundance Set Menu starts at $168 for 2 pax and goes up to $818 for 10 pax. For enquiries and reservations, contact the restaurant at 6298 7572.

Tanyu (探鱼烤鱼) @ 313 Somerset - Launches Singapore’s First Interactive Chinese Skewer Experience

With its reopening at 313@Somerset, TANYU ups the ante by launching Singapore's first interactive Chinese skewer experience, adding even more reason for fans to return.

Known for its signature grilled fish and bold Sichuan-style flavours, TANYU now invites diners to customise their feast with over 40 freshly grilled skewers, alongside premium grilled fish and new wok-fried creations. It's a lively, choose-your-own-adventure dining format that's casual, affordable, and dangerously addictive.

Skewer Station 4/5

The new skewer station is where the fun begins. With prices starting from just $0.80, it's easy (and tempting) to go a little overboard. Our top picks included the Squid, which is freshly grilled then chopped into bite-sized pieces - smoky, spicy and damn shiok. The Pork Collar stood out for its juicy tenderness, while the Teriyaki Chicken Thigh with Northern Scallion delivered savoury-sweet comfort. Another surprise favourite was the Black Pepper Shrimp Paste with Mushroom, packed with umami and charred aroma. Overall, the skewers are well-seasoned, nicely smoky and perfect for sharing.

Grilled Fish with Fresh Green Peppers 4/5

A trip to Tanyu wouldn't be complete without their signature grilled fish, and we were glad to see the Grilled Fish with Fresh Green Peppers ($28.90) now offered in a smaller portion suitable for 1–2 diners. This makes it much easier to enjoy their iconic dish without sacrificing stomach space for skewers. The green peppers' flavour remains my go-to for its comforting, punchy, consistently satisfying appeal.

Fiery Chicken with Green Peppers 4/5

One of the new additions, the Fiery Chicken with Green Peppers ($19.80), impressed us with its balance. Tender chunks of chicken are stir-fried with diced lotus root, adding a pleasant crunch that contrasts nicely with the meat. While labelled "fiery", the spice level is actually quite approachable, allowing the aroma of fresh green peppers to shine through. A solid, flavour-forward dish that pairs especially well with rice.

Water Chestnut Boba Drink 3.8/5

Popping pearl boba drinks seem to be everywhere these days, and Tanyu's Water Chestnut Boba Drink ($3.80) fits right into the trend. Lightly sweet and refreshing, it pairs well with the heavier, spice-driven dishes. While not a standout on its own, it does its job as a cooling companion.

Double Taste Rice Cake 4/5

We concluded the meal with the Double Taste Rice Cake ($4.80) and wished we had room for more. Crisp on the outside and soft, chewy on the inside, the rice cake is drizzled with brown sugar for a comforting, dessert-like finish.

TANYU's refreshed concept brings new energy to an already popular brand. The interactive skewer experience adds variety and flexibility, making it easier to mix, match, and share without committing to a single main dish. Combined with their reliable grilled fish and affordable pricing, it's a fuss-free spot for casual meals with friends, especially if you enjoy bold flavours and a lively atmosphere.
