Western - Fishermen's Wharf

I met up with ah yee, uncle sq and ping jie jie for dinner at fishermen's wharf.





This was basically the restaurant that we passed by when we went for ah yee's bridal fitting the other day and ping jie jie said she would like to celebrate her birthday this year over here. But in the end i guess they celebrated it at some restaurant at Novena Square.


today is kinda a belated belated celebration for ping jie jie coz i din attend her bday celebration this yr and also to thank uncle sq for helping me print the so so many pages MOR project (though now after calculations it seems more wu hua if i bought ink cartridges instead! LOL)


Anyway, it was a good thing that they din celebrate it here!


Coz they basically served fish & chips, fish & chips & fish & chips!


Nothing else!


oki.. maybe a few side orders like.. bread and butter? coleslaw? dats about it!


u must be thinking.... cannot be la.....


"got soup?"


"nope"


"got calarmari?"


"noooope"


"oysters?"


"noooooooope"


"got desserts?"


"bo"


"got fruits?"


"mei you..."


Oki, stop trying so hard! dun haf meanssss dunch haf! =z


its REALLY just fish and chips.... n if it makes u abit happier, its different types of fish and chips (which isnt really DAT much of a difference in taste)


as there were 4 of us, we decided to order the 4 different types of fish on the menu and share a chicken fingers.


Due to some miscommunication, we apparently ordered 5 different types of fishes... n even the cream dory fillet ( i duno if it had the same effect on u .... but it sounded to me like it'll be some grilled fillet with creamy sauce...)... turned out to be...





honestly doesnt matter which one i show u first coz aside from the shape they basically look the same to me and taste more or less the same.. the last pic is a combination of all the fish after we cut each dish into 4.


if i recall correctly .. one's snow fish... one's sole fish... one's dory.. cant remember the rest... basically just fish & chips la!


*disappointing oki*


Truth be told, Fish & Co.'s fish and chips is much much nicer.... though im not much of a fish n chips person to begin with.. i usually order the platter when i'm there


next time we pass by the restaurant (its actually located right opposite Clarke Quay MRT station), all desires and yearns for the place would have died....


i mean, seriously, the boss of the place if u're reading this, rather den spending time on coming up with all the different different type of sauces for the food.....





(i think one's tar tar, one's mayo, one's curry mayo or mustard and cant remember)


or even coming up with different variety of fries by calling them chips (which they basically LOOK VERY SIMILAR)





i specially put the 2 together into a basket.. can anyone really see substantial difference?? (though honestly the chips aka fresh cut potatoes, taste better), the fries are ok as well...


point is, do u honestly need 2 varieties of fries???


cant u just haf more variety in ur main course and probably add in some dessert?


the decor of the place was alright....





no air-con... but ping jie jie complained abt the uncomfy chairs.


surprisingly for such an ulu place, it was pretty packed. for a weekday night... probably many working class wld pass by that place after work before going over to the mrt station.


Price wise it was ok i guess... the different fish n chips were priced from $6.50 to $14.50 ( i think). The total bill (inclusive of 4 cans of drinks) came up to $62. n oh... they ONLY accept cash n nets.. (how kuku is dat????)

harhhh... i had the same sentiments! cream dory... haha... its a very english place. you must understand its origins. when i was in london, it was very similar. all they served was fish and chips. like 10 over different sort of fishes. priced about 5-6 pounds. but its super huge servings i tell ya! and i hafta agree that fish & co still the best!
