Tanyoto Restaurant

By chance, I get to dine in Tanyoto Restaurant. Initially, I thought it is a Japanese Restaurant because of its name and its location, level 1 of Liang Court. But it turn out to be a Chinese Restaurant that serve Chuan cuisine. Even though, it only 5pm [weekend], it is already 85% occupied. So, it would be better to call ahead and reserve your seat, so you don’t have to queue for it. I would recommend this restaurant to fish lover or someone who want to try a different type of steamboat.
FYI: It has over 110 restaurants across Shanghai, Beijing, Tawain and Hong Kong etc and its Quite popular in China.

So, what the uniqueness about this steamboat? According to the restaurant, the chilli used in the soup base can only pluck on 7 days in a year and it must be seal up for 1 full year before it can be used. Such method preserves both the chilli freshness and color. And it will not cause heatness after consuming. As it is well known, how healthy it is to eat fish and the various nutrients that fish contain, this steamboat is classified as healthy food.[Maybe, this explain it popularity]. Another specialty of this place is the size of the fish head. Half of the fish head already occupy the whole pot, so you can imagine how big it is, even the fish eye ball is full of fish meat. [Errrr…. look yummy and seem challenging to eat]. Did we order the fish eye ball? Of course not, because I am still not daring enough to eat it. Haha…

For the 2 of us, we order yuan yang steamboat Tanyoto's Health Wild Mushroom Soup[$24] & Tanyoto Peppery Flavoring Soup with Capsicum[$16], Secret Recipe Fish Head [$30], Fish Neck [$18], U.S. Beef[$28], Pork Liver[$5], Vegetable Platter [$12], Bee-hoon [$4] & Walnut with Fungus [$6]. The fish is really fresh, nothing like I ever eat before. I love the fish cheek as usual. The Walnut with Fungus taste delicious as well. The rest are normal. But the wild mushroom soup is really good, it keep me drinking bowl after bowl. A lot variety of mushroom in the soup hence if you order this soup base, you can skip ordering mushroom =) [2 for the price of 1].

Overall, it a good experience. To be fair, the price is on the steep side but the fish dishes are succulent. For me, I do find it costly. Will I go back again? Maybe, if special occasion demand or with fish lover.
