I have heard of Tanuki Raw (#02-03 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6636 5949) from their association with Standing Sushi Bar which I've never been too. Had never been interested because I've always assumed that since they're both bar and a kitchen and if they're as affordable as they say, neither of which has got to be good. Besides, they're doing a contemporary slash bastardised slash Americanised form of Japanese food. Which is pretty much everywhere so I didn't find them compelling.
Long story short, we heard numerous mentions about their truffle yakiniku don going for an affordable $14.80 at lunch and decided to give it a go. Presentation aside, this was actually pretty good. Though I had expected those short rib to be pan seared instead of just being aburi-ed. I would not mind coming back to eat that again. Oh, I finally figured out that those fox like things lurking at the entrances are actually the tanuki.
