\"tanuki-raw-orchard-central-review\"Tanuki Raw at Orchard Central<\/b> is reopened after an update of the decor. When I first stepped in on a weekday afternoon, I was taken aback by how beautiful it is. A long, dark corridor opens to an enclave of chic, modern clean lines and ceiling-to-floor windows bathing the restaurant with natural light. Huccalyly said, wah you suaku. <\/i>You say suaku, I say childlike innocence. Hahaha.<\/p>\n

The concept is simple and elegant. A westernized version of Japanese one-bowl meal <\/b>at an affordable price. There is innovation in the East-meets-West dishes, and they appeal to the young, modern, global, trendy tastebuds. They use a lot of truffle oil, and salted egg yolk—favorites of young people.<\/p>\n

Huccalyly has been to Tanuki Raw several times before the renovations. She recommends coming during evening happy hours when you can order a cocktail that allows you to get discounted oysters.<\/p>\n

\"tanuki-raw-bugis-menu\"The foie gras truffle yakiniku <\/b>($23) consists a thick slab of foie gras; some pieces of US black Angus short rib speckled with truffle soy; an onsen egg; and black garlic brown butter over rice. “In my defense,” Huccalyly said, “it was more shiok <\/i>in my memory. The beef slices were thicker and they were more charred on the surface.”<\/p>\n

I understood what she meant, but this bowl is excellent. The foie gras is buttery, cooked perfectly. So are the beef slices, pinkish in the middle with a nice chewy bite. Very juicy.<\/p>\n

With the pregnant Huccalyly, we couldn’t order the signature chirashi <\/b>($22.90). But she tried it previously and said it was good.<\/p>\n

\"tanuki-raw-lunch\"But we did order the golden kani maki <\/b>($18.90); a maki of deep-fried softshell crab, fresh snow crab, and crispy mozzarella, topped with salted egg hollandaise<\/b>. Very smart combination. Although we couldn’t really taste the salted egg, it is very shiok to eat crispy things with carbs.<\/p>\n

\"tanuki-raw-review\"Because Huccalyly is pregnant and I am fat, we ordered the sweet potato fries with truffle aioli <\/b>despite our full, round bellies. This dish exemplifies what I mean when I said Tanuki Raw uses trendy, East-meets-West ingredients. Sweet potato, not potato; truffle aioli, not mayo.<\/p>\n

It’s supremely tasty. The sweet potato fries are ok on its own but what a genius to combine it with truffle aioli. The sweetness of the carb is mellowed by the aromatic truffle aioli—it’s sweet and salty. An addictive combination.<\/p>\n

We were there at about 2.15pm and it was still packed. People really know what is good most of the times. Despite the crowd, the service<\/strong> was attentive and swift. But Huccalyly wasn’t pleased when we were waiting in the queue and the server ignored us and didn’t give an indication that she saw us. I knew what Huccalyly meant, it felt like we were snubbed. The server could have acknowledged us and told us to wait. But I didn’t mind it as much as Huccalyly. People have good and bad days, maybe the server was having a bad day.<\/p>\n

We paid $64 for two persons.<\/b>\u00a0We will return. I now see what the big fuss is with Tanuki Raw. It understands the trend, it grabs a moment in time, it supplies what the hipsters, youngsters, and whatever-sters want. It’s a genius concept that is carried out wonderfully.<\/p>\n

No reservations, and there will be a queue unless you arrive early or late.<\/p>\n
