Japan’s largest pufferfish restaurant chain with 96 outlets, Guenpin, has opened its first overseas outlet here. Specialising in Tora-fugu – the highest grade of fugu in the market – the restaurant serves it sashimi-style ($28), grilled ($48) or in a hot pot ($55) with its signature ponzu sauce. Aside from pufferfish, Guenpin also carries Japanese snow crab that you can have fried or grilled.
A five-course pufferfish menu that feeds one to two people starts from $88, while set lunches with items such as a snow crab tempura rice bowl go from $19.90.
