Tai Er Singapore Suancai & Fish – Popular Sichuan Restaurant for Tasty and Numbing Chinese Sauerkraut Fish
Tai Er Suancai & Fish 太二酸菜鱼 is a popular Sichuan restaurant that originated from China.
Currently, there are four outlets in Singapore, with the newest branch at 313@somerset. The other three are at Jem, Suntec and Jewel.
Reservations are highly recommended or be prepared to take queue number and wait.
Nonetheless, if you are lucky or drop by on a non-peak period, there might be seats available. I came by on a Friday noon at Jem outlet and there are seats!
It is a must to order the signature Chinese sauerkraut fish. The Suancai & Fish is available in three sizes – $49 (for 1-2 pax), $69 (for 3-4 pax) and $89. There are toppings, namely Bouncy Tofu $3, Bamboo Shoots $3, Enoki Mushroom $3 and Glass Noodles $3 to add into the soup.
Some other signature side dishes include the Spicy Chicken with Chilli Pepper $28, Poached Sliced Beef in Hot Chilli Oil $28 and Yummy Steamed Chicken with Chilli Sauce $11.
Menu
With each entering group of customers, the staffs will shout their slogan enthusiastically.
If it is your first time here, the staff will give a run through of some must-knows. There is a drawer for diners to grab tissues, toothpicks and chargers for their phones. Also, while waiting for food, one can give it a go at drawing lots (placed on the table). Hot free-flow tea with sour plums is available at a counter too.
The Suancai & Fish $49 (for 1-2 pax) is served in a large round plate, brimming with succulent fish slices, dried chilli, peppercorns and sauerkraut.
It is rich in flavour, sourish, quite numbing and not spicy. I find the portion to be worth the price and if you have an appetite, it can feed one person too.
The dish is very tasty and enjoyable.
