So incredibly poisonous that even a small mistake in its preparation can be fatal, fugu (pufferfish) is also a luxurious delicacy.

If you're curious enough to have a try, check out Guenpin Fugu.

Japan's largest fugu chain has opened its first overseas outlet in Singapore and its chef, Tomita, boasts over 30 years of fugu cuisine under his belt.

The restaurant prides itself on serving the highest grade of fugu — the Tiger Puffer Fish, or torafugu in Japanese.

Rich in protein and collagen, torafugu helps to retain skin elasticity.

Here are six dishes to try, if you're game enough.

3. Thick Sliced Puffer Fish Sashimi, $32

The Thick Sliced Puffer Fish Sashimi, which has a texture akin to jellyfish, is served atop crunchy cabbage and drizzled with green onion. Thicker slices of pufferfish tend to be less common in Japan, although it is slightly more flavorful than its thinly sliced counterpart.
