The sauerkraut (suan cai) fish was tantalisingly good, loaded with silky smooth fish slices bathing in a delicious soup base. The soup pairs beautifully with white rice, making every mouthful a delight.

Visited Tai Er (313@Somerset) for the first time on a friend’s recommendation. Tried the Suan Chai Yu — no fishy smell, which I loved! Most dishes were delicious, though the seaweed roll with salted egg yolk could use more salted egg flavor. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

If you are someone who don’t eat fish, fear not. Tai Er has non-fish dishes that are quite delicious as well. What amazed me last evening was the service recovery. When I shared that the rice was too hard, the waiter informed the manager and they offered two desserts as a form of apology. Made my evening.😀

Spicy, oily, salty - but the food tastes great! Looks authentic and the sour vegetables fish signature dish is really worth trying. The soup is flavourful - you must try it.
The waiters were very helpful in assigning us a good table and also explaining to us the various menu items.
Highly recommended, if you want to taste authentic Chinese dishes. The chilli can be very strong.
The drinks are free flow - that helps! Thumbs up!

Amazing food as always! I love spice but somehow I think I prefer non spicy fish so that the suan cai can shine through more. Skip the fried prawn - more batter than prawn. Rice also tastes lacklustre now, I had it 1st time in Jewel and the rice was divine. Now it's so normal? Idk. It used to have a different taste....

Ask for less oil n less salt but the fried beef still come quite salty, then we ask for less salt a few rounds but they keep telling us they never add salt, just use soy sauce then I said just use less soy sauce right? Then they come back n say the taste will be different. So after a few rounds, finally came n taste slightly less salty. Seems like pre-prepared food to me given so much reasons why can’t be less salty.
Finally, I spit out almost all meat as too tough for me to swallow. Overall not a very good experience given the price point. Likely won’t return.

The food was delicious and fresh
They even offer half bowl of rice to consumers that do not want too much rice.
Staff was pleasant and polite
They have complementary ready made iced tea for customers. They provide roselle and orange peel if you wanna make your own iced tea.
It was my first time trying it. Definitely will go back again.
Went during peak hours so the waiting time was longer

A great place to eat suan cai yu. Fish is fresh, tender and delicious as usual. Suan cai is also great as well, not too overwhelming. Dessert is quite cute too with the 2 eyeballs.
Definitely a great place to keep on visiting. Food and service are great.
Try to reserve a table in advance or you will need to wait outside. Lucky for us we waited for less than 15 minutes.

Came on a friday evening around 6.30pm, right before the queue and was lucky to get a seat right away.
Food waiting time was fine and quality was good too. Overall pleasant experience.

Yummy food as we visit once again. If only they can allow us to request for more spicer food.
overall was good and the staff service was great.
Kinda slow on this Sunday afternoon but all was good.
We had a great meal again.
I felt the variety of drinks can be improve on. For me, i'm not too much of a Tea guy.
