Why visit? With more than 300 branches all over China, Tanyu is arguably one of the most popular grilled fish spots around — it’s no wonder then that it’s enjoying the same fanfare in Singapore.

Why visit? Calling itself the first restaurant to serve yuzu pork in Singapore, Tonkatsu Enbiton prides itself on serving up tender and juicy pork dishes. Lest you think it’s merely yuzu-flavoured pork, yuzu pork actually comes from pigs in Kagoshima, Japan that are fed local yuzu when reared — the resulting meat is tender, has hints of yuzu and is said to be rich in vitamin C.

Aside from the unique yuzu pork it serves up, Tonkatsu Enbiton also has the trending hot stone gyukatsu on its menu. The dish comes with steak strips coated with panko, as well as a teppan hot stone for you to grill your meats as you wish.

Crowd favourites: If you can only try one dish, go for its yuzu rosu katsu set (S$22) for its speciality yuzu pork loin that is deep-fried to perfection — crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The set also comes with rice, veggies and a pork miso soup. If you are feeling spendy, opt for its miyazaki gyukatsu (S$39) for some buttery A5 wagyu strips that are served on a teppan hot stone grill for you to achieve your desired doneness.
