Tai Er’s Sauerkraut Fish: A Unique Dish Worth Trying at Jewel Changi Airport

 


Looking for a unique dining experience in Jewel Changi Airport? Tai Er, a recognized brand from China with over 300 outlets, is worth checking out. We tried their signature dish, sauerkraut fish, and here's what we thought.

The dish comes in three sizes: $48, $68, and $88, and we opted for the $68 version. When the dish arrived, we were impressed by the generous amount of tender, flavorful fish slices served. The sauerkraut fish was subtly savory and enjoyable, but quite greasy, with half of its depth being oil. The spiciness level was fixed, but tolerable. The dish was filled with dried chili, peppercorn, herbs, and more oil. We added enoki mushroom and Chinese asparagus, but it was hard to enjoy them amidst all the greasiness.

To balance out the greasiness, Tai Er offers a drink station where you can brew your own dried tangerine or roselle juice. These sweet and refreshing drinks complement the sauerkraut fish well and provide a nice break from the greasiness.

As for the service, the staff were friendly and helpful, but seemed to try too hard to be on par with Haidilao's standard. The waitress spoke at a rapid pace, making it difficult for us to comprehend, especially as our Mandarin wasn't fluent. Despite this, the staff were never rude.

In summary, Tai Er's sauerkraut fish is a unique dish worth trying if you're in the mood for something different. Although a bit pricey, the dish offers a generous serving of tender, flavorful fish slices. Just be aware that it can be quite greasy and spicy. Make sure to balance it out with a refreshing drink from their drink station. Overall, Tai Er is a great dining option at Jewel Changi Airport that's worth checking out.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
