DANIU Teochew Seafood Restaurant is a seafood restaurant at 61 Kampong Bahru Rd, Bukit Merah, Singapore, and its name points to Teochew cooking. It holds a 4.1 Google rating from 533 reviews, a large number of opinions.
Teochew cooking is known for light, clean flavours that let the freshness of the seafood show, with steaming, poaching and braising used more than heavy frying. A good seafood restaurant lives or dies by freshness: fish and shellfish should smell of the sea, not strongly fishy, and many restaurants keep live seafood in tanks so you can choose. Fish and shellfish are often sold by weight, so ask the price before ordering to avoid surprises when the bill arrives, and share several dishes with rice or porridge for a Teochew-style meal. Weekend evenings are the busiest, so booking ahead helps for groups. Regulars mention shellfish allergies when they reserve, ask the server what is freshest that day and check recent reviews for consistency. Kampong Bahru Road is a busy road near the Outram and Tiong Bahru areas, so check parking or the nearest MRT.
For anyone dining in Bukit Merah, DANIU is a well-reviewed place to book a table for Teochew seafood.
