Tai Er 太二酸菜鱼 (Jewel Changi)

Finally went down to try the famous sauerkraut fish and sad to say we didn’t find it worth the hype. The 2 pax portion was $48 and we added glass noodles for $3. The flavour was quite uniform throughout and got boring after awhile. People who aren’t big on spice probably wouldn’t appreciate it either, and it definitely veered on the salty side. At least the fish slices were clean and quite fresh.

we had to q for more than 1.5 hrs. this was the 1-2 pax portion. portion of the fish was generous and fresh and the soup had this sour and appetizing taste to it.

When you order their signature dish, taier delivers a one-of-a-kind service with the server shouting "酸菜比鱼好吃" when the dish is served! Undoubtedly, all the food was great, and it was a delightful experience.

I love all things “wasabi-mustard-and-mayonnaise“ prawns!!! This was so delicious 🤤

酸菜鱼 Chinese Sauerkraut Fish ($48/68)
This dish has just the right amount of spice and the numbness isn't too intense. It can serve up to 4 people. To further absorb the flavor of the soup, we also added glass noodles and paired it with a bowl of rice. 😋😋

Do manage your expectations as not everyone will enjoy it. Some love it but personally I felt it was over-hyped and not really worth the wait. Expect super long wait if you plan to walk-in during dinner time.

If you’re looking for a place for festive gatherings with friends/family, consider Tai Er for their famous Chinese-style Sauerkraut Fish 🐟🔥

With tender fish slices in the tangy appetising broth, this is best enjoyed with a bowl of fluffy Chinese Wuchang rice 🍚

The cabbage used is said to be pickled for close to a month to get its refreshing crispy texture. In fact, the restaurant prides itself for having sauerkraut that tastes better than their fish 😳

Starting from $48 onwards, the Chinese Sauerkraut Fish can feed upwards of 2 people. Choose from a range of different ingredients, such as enoki mushroom and vermicelli 🍄

Don’t forget to cleanse your appetite with the free-flow Roselle Orange Peel Tea from the tea station ✨
