Gyutan-Tan, Singapore's first ox tongue speciality restaurant, has launched its second shop in the landmark Takashimaya Shopping Centre, located in the heart of Orchard Road.
Following its successful launch on Tras Street in November 2022, this expansion marks a critical milestone for Gyutan-Tan as it continues to transform Singapore's dining environment by delivering the rich and exquisite flavours of gyutan (ox tongue) and binchotan to a larger audience.
The Exquisite Dining Experience
Gyutan-Tan's new location promises an outstanding dining experience that will attract both longtime customers and newcomers. The restaurant remains committed to delighting diners with authentically cooked yet inventive Japanese food offerings. But what truly distinguishes this shop is its distinctive Afternoon Tea Menu, created for a premium Japanese-inspired afternoon tea experience on Orchard Road.
Guests entering Gyutan-Tan's new venue are greeted by vivid wallpaper decorated with original manga-style drawings. These quirky artworks pay respect to Sendai and the distinctive cuisine served at Gyutan-Tan, creating the tone for a cosy and peaceful dining experience.
A Must-Try Afternoon Tea Set
Don't miss the Afternoon Tea Set, which is available daily from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This plate, designed for two diners and limited to 10 sets per day, is a symphony of sweet and savoury treats. It offers a tiny gyutan slider, egg & ham sandwich, homemade egg pudding and other tasty nibbles, as well as crisp salads, sando sandwiches and tempting desserts.
Pillowy-Soft Sandals
Gyutan-Tan's mouthwatering sando variety will leave you wanting more. From the Roasted Gyutan and Caramel Onion Sando to the Egg and Ratatouille Sando, these gourmet delights offer a wonderful mix of flavours. The Teriyaki Chicken Sando, with its big, thick-cut chicken thigh marinated in delectable teriyaki sauce, is a must-try.
Light Snacks
For those looking for lighter fare, Gyutan-Tan offers Sweet Potato Daigaku Imo, which features deep-fried sweet potato batons in a sticky caramel covering, and the Gyutan and Hokkaido Potato Croquette, a wonderful blend of soft gyutan and creamy potato.
Healthy Salads
Choose from a variety of fresh, crisp salads, such as the Stewed Gyutan Cobu Salad and Japanese Potato Salad with Stewed Gyutan. These dishes are a beautiful blend of flavours and textures, topped with soft braised gyutan, thinly sliced boiled eggs, and handmade potato chips.
A Delectable Ending
Finish your meal with the Matcha Fondue, which allows you to dip marshmallows, sponge cake, chewy dango, and fresh fruits into smooth, warm matcha.
