We finally got a seat at Tan Yu (B3-30/31/32 313@Somerset, 313 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6509 8887), a Chinese grilled fish chain from Shenzhen that's not so different from Riverside Grilled Fish. Just to be clear, it was never really difficult to get a seat here. These guys don't do reservations during the weekends and we just never had the patience to wait through peak hours.
There was a green pepper limbo fish that was not bad. The broth was more salty than spicy in spite of appearances and those Sichuan peppercorns were more 麻 than 辣. Heat was pretty manageable. Does anyone know what exactly is a limbo fish?
There's grilled honey toast that you could order on the side. This was a little buttery and quite nice.
The grilled lamb skewers looked better than they tasted. Some of the meat was so hard that I couldn't eat them. Expensive as well. Better to just get these from a place like Restaurant Manchurian which makes better skewers which are less expensive.
That milky beverage on the right is their 'lemon and lime lactic acid milk drink'. Name was a mouthful. Taste was kinda like Yakult or Calpis flavoured with lime or preserved plums. Not bad a drink if you're into that sort of thing.
