This place is really, really quiet. They don’t pipe in music, and they don’t believe in air-conditioning. But they do serve beer, and pretty decent fish and chips.
The cream dory, at the cheapest on the list, is just S$6.50. Add a soft drink for S$2. Perhaps we aren’t great connoiseurs but the deep-fried, batter-laden fish seemed to all taste alike to us, so the more expensive possibilities (like monkfish?) didn’t really seem worthwhile.
I always think of fish and chips as a thoroughly blue collar sort of dish anyway. :].
The fish arrives in a basket with either (fries [crispy] or chips [just fried]) and there’s a range of sauces, mayonnaise, tartar, malt vinegar, honey mustard. Ask the (somewhat grim) counter girls. Coleslaw, though, is a rather exorbitant additional S$2.50.
From Riverside Point, walk towards Clarke Quay, and then down New Bridge Road to reach No. 27. If you’re lost there’s always the phone: +65 6532 6468.
