Fish & chips ($16 each)!
Western restaurant fish & chips $16 each — battered fish fillet, chunky chips, tartar sauce, mushy peas. Sunday lunch comfort with BB.
Sunday lunch with BB at a Western restaurant — sometimes you need a hot plate of fish & chips and nothing else will do. The British pub format, executed in a Singapore casual restaurant.
We ordered:
- Fish & chips — $16
- Fish & chips — $16
Each plate came with a beer-battered fish fillet (looked and tasted like dory rather than the proper cod or haddock, which is the Singapore-restaurant default), thick-cut chunky chips, a small pile of mushy peas, a ramekin of tartar sauce, and a wedge of lemon.
The fish was the test. Batter was the right kind — light golden, airy from the beer-and-baking-powder mix, with proper crunch on the outside that didn’t peel away from the fish when you cut into it. The white fish inside was flaky and steamed slightly when broken open — sign of fresh frying rather than reheating.
Chunky chips were the proper British-style — thick triangular cuts, crisp shell, fluffy potato inside, salt-dusted. Mushy peas were the genuine version (mashed marrowfat peas with mint), not just blended frozen peas, which is the differentiator.
Tartar sauce was creamy with chopped capers and pickle through it, lemon wedge for the squeeze. Add a few drops of malt vinegar and you’ve completed the pub-classic experience.
$16 each is fair casual-Western pricing in Singapore — comparable spots run $18-20 for the same plate.
Overall: 4.3 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Reliable fish & chips lunch — would absolutely revisit.
