On the hunt for the best Fish & Chips with Jessica the F&C lover!
Jess was actually the one to first mention it. This popular eatery had earned quite some rave reviews for its authentic British-style fish & chips so we popped by for lunch one weekday- with exceptionally high expectations of course.
Basically a no-frills place with free seating, self-ordering and payment made before the food's arrival.
Ambience was casual and laid-back with wooden tables and all but the the absence of airconditioning was a major letdown.
Since they specialise in fish & chips, all the menu listed was merely the various types of fish they offer. The cheapest was Cream Dory and most expensive North Atlantic Cod Loin- all with a choice of fries or chips (we couldn't tell the difference so we had one of each to compare).
Cream Dory Fillet ($6.50)
Arriving ten minutes later was a sizeably-large fillet, plenty of chips, a wedge lemon and tartar sauce served in a weaved basket.
My first bite was heavens- steaming hot moist fish with a light crisp coating. The batter gave good crunch to the soft fresh fish but it was just a little too bland. Tuck in quickly cause the entire thing starts to sog as it cools.
So now i know... chips are actually sticks of panfried potatoes. It may be the traditional accompaniment for this dish but i still find Jessica's fries more enjoyable than these soggy strands i had. Tartar sauce was homemade and complements the fish.
Set Meal with Coleslaw ($9.50)
Jess opted for a set meal which comes with an additional coleslaw and canned drink. Eeyer, she also had two pieces of fish instead of one- furthermore looking much crispier than mine! lol.
Best in Singapore? Well, it was impressive enough for me but still not worthy of that yet. I'm may not be a total fan of Fish & Chips but i can say this is one of the better versions found. As for Jess, she claims to have tasted better.

Did drove passed this outlet several times. Wondering if this was the same outlet that moved from Kallang Park. Will try it one day.
No, shouldn't the one at Kallang. That was had a different name if i didn't remember wrongly.
