So I learnt today that Tanuki is a species of squirrels with ginormous balls, hence the photo above -_- Luckily....no ball-inspired dishes at this swanky joint on the 2nd floor of Orchard Central. With an open bar as its central feature, it served as the perfect mid-week joint for a much-needed drink (or 3). And trust me, I really needed it after a very long today.
Wooh the martinis were strong baybeh and only going for $10 before 8pm! I had a lychee and sake martini, kept me running the whole night.
Suggest to skip the sashimi and go for the salmon belly, price is the same ($5 for 5 slices during Happy Hour) but quality is miles apart. I don't eat oysters but the girls ordered a couple ($2-5 per oyster, depending on the type) and they were slurped down within minutes!
If you are still on Foursquare, check in to get a free plate of fried salmon skin with spicy sambal! Damn shiok but a little oily. We also ordered mixture of normal/lotus/spam fries and edamame. You can tell we weren't big on solids tonight. Saw sushi and dons on the menu too so can give it a try next time, didn't look too expensive (~$10-20 per item).
We were all tipsy and tired by 9pm, what little old ladies we all are haha! And what with the damn road closures for F1, we even managed to train back, damn proud of ourselves lol! A good night with ma girlies, always makes the week more bearable! :)
Tanuki Raw is at Orchard Central Level 2, has outdoor smoking area as well.
