Viral Sichuan sauerkraut fish chain at Great World with numbing, tangy fish pots.
TAI ER is the Sichuan chain that went viral across Asia for its signature suan cai yu — a bubbling pot of poached fish in a numbing, tangy sauerkraut broth. The Great World outlet serves this showstopper alongside other Sichuan classics like mapo tofu, mouth-watering chicken and spicy dry pots, all built around the mala flavour profile that Sichuan cuisine is famous for.The suan cai yu is the clear star: flaky fish slices swimming in a golden, sour-spicy broth with fermented mustard greens that provide the dish's distinctive tang. The spice level can be adjusted, making it accessible even to those who are new to Sichuan heat. Group-friendly portions and a modern, casual setting make it a popular choice for dinners.
If you want the Sichuan sauerkraut fish pot that took social media by storm, TAI ER at Great World delivers the numbing, tangy experience that started the trend.

The fans of sauerkraut fish soup will know Tai Er well. The aged peppercorn is not too spicy but gives the soup a nice buzz. The fish was soft and yummy. We also had the green pepper beef - this was spicy as it had green peppercorn, bird’s eye chili and green chili as well😅. The beef was tender!! Will be back! …
