TANYU (探鱼烤鱼) is one of the first names that comes to mind when it comes to grilled fish. Now, exclusive to its flagship outlet at 313@somerset, diners can also look forward to a new BBQ Skewer live station offering more than 40 varieties of skewers.
Grilled Fish with Fresh Green Pepper 4/5
We started with the classic Grilled Fish with Fresh Green Pepper, available in four fish options – Limbo Fish, Limbo Fish Fillet, Sea Bass, and Qingjiang Fish. Unlike our previous visit, the restaurant now offers a smaller portion from $28.90, making it more suitable for 1 to 2 diners.
The fish was as smooth and tender as we remembered. While we wished it came with more ingredients and a slightly less salty broth, the dish was still appetising with a bold, peppery heat.
A range of sides is available too, including the TANYU Black Beancurd ($4.50) and Golden Combination ($7.40 for Small, $14.80 for Large), a mix of enoki mushrooms, potato, lotus root and luncheon meat.
Pig Blood Curd 4/5
An exciting new addition to the menu is the Pig Blood Curd ($6 for 4 Pieces). Smooth and silky, it soaked up the flavourful broth perfectly.
BBQ Skewer Series 4/5
The new BBQ Skewer selection is extensive, with categories including Chinese-style, Black Pepper, Pepper, Teriyaki, Flavoured and even Foil-grilled.
The Teriyaki Black Pork Belly with Asparagus ($2.20) and Teriyaki Black Pork Belly with Enoki Mushrooms ($1.80) both featured tender pork belly glazed in a savoury-sweet teriyaki sauce, well-balanced and tasty.
Surprisingly, our favourite was the Pineapple with Caramel ($1.80). We didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as we did, with its lightly caramelised exterior giving way to a juicy, sweet centre. Other skewers to look out for include the Mentaiko Zucchini ($2.80), Charred Chilli Grilled Eel ($5.80 for 3 Pieces), and Foil-grilled King Oyster Mushrooms ($8), among many others.
For a limited time only, enjoy 50% off their 5 Signature Skewers (U.P $17.50) with any order of grilled fish.
