Pass by this place on our way back from lunch today, and saw this sign on top that says $6.50 for Fish and Chips. Actually, the last time when we went to Le Chasseur 乐食轩, which is located just beside, my friend wanted to check out this place some day.
As my friend today just wanted to just spend $10 for dinner today, decided to check out this place. Was a bit skeptical at first, thinking it might be just $6.50 to just top up for soup of the day or drins, cos $6.50 for a fish and chips is probably like hawker centre price? A chicken chop at hawker centre would easily cost $4.50 in a neighbourhood hawker centre, while probably more especially in town area.
When we were arrived, the place is still quite "empty" but seems most of the tables were reserved. However, the waitress gave us one of the reserved table immediately when we were there. But very soon, the whole restaurant was pretty filled up quickly.
So when we were there, indeed the fish and chips (dory) is only $6.50 which my friend ordered, which included a decently large piece of dory and a choice of fries or chips. On the menu, it also explains the difference in fries and chips, so I'll leave it to your all to find out and let me know which ya prefer :)
I ordered another set (think was sole fish or something). I knew it was not cod (my original choice but was sold out) and not the halibut (as I overhead them telling the customer in front this has the strongest fishier taste). Mine was $14, which came with 2 pieces of the fish and also a choice of fries or chips. I also a deep friend mushroom ($10.50) to share. There's no GST, service charge, etc, so we paid $31 for all the 3 items we ordered.
Food wise, I find the dory fish and chip is really good value for money, while mine and the mushroom was quite ok for the price. All the 3 of us preferred the chips more than the fries. Though the chips was not crispy and looks pretty soggy or oily, I actually quite enjoy it :P The deep fried mushroom was not bad too.
Overall, I think the food here given the price (especially the dory fish and chips) deserves a 3.5 star.

I really think the dory fish and chips is super cheap ( consider the serving was quite big, i cant finish them ). But next time if i go, i shall sit outside of the restaurant as the air ventilation inside the restaurant not that good. After the dinner, got strong oily smell on our clothes & face :(

Hi, saw that you've tried the Ayam Penyet Ria too, so which is better?

I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

I went to the tony roma's in singapore suntec city, the ribs is very nice & tender and the chocolate dessert is sinful! Dun like the corn soup though.

Yup, the roast pork is super nice, & it sold out very fast, the lunch hour is 1130am to 230pm and the roast pork sold out at around 1pm.

Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.

Why the food rating is only 2 stars if it's nearly the best mee rebus you've tried?
