Chippy's British Take-away : Beer-Battered-Fish

After reading reviews of it off She Bakes and She Cooks, J and I decided to try it today as we made our way to Far East Plaza.

Located on the basement one of Far East Plaza, one could hardly miss it for it had a huge Union Jack logo for it's signboard. A small setup; we were served by 2 young ladies, one will serve the customers, another will prepare the food. Quite a well oil system they have in there i would say everything was done in military precision.

Business was relatively good. We observed how families and groupies walked away with litttle black bowls of Fried Mars Bar and a scoop of ice-cream. Those calories-and-cholesterol-bombs must be good!~!~!~! Can feel J was very tempted to try, only to see she exercise control for the fact that she's attending my colleague's wedding with me next week.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, our order was ready. We ordered the BBF ( Beer-Battered-Fish $4plus). I had half a mind ( well, over 95%) to try the Hot-and-Chessy Chicken strips but sensiblity won me over and i decided against it.
Holy mama.. the serving is huge!~!~! 12 pieces of fried fish fillets with an equal amount of chips in it! You get to choose between 2 types of sauses. One is the Salt-and-Vinegar , or alteratively you could get the Ketchup-and-Mayo. The fish fillets were fresh, not a hint of fishy-ness in them. However i would have thought a small slice of lemon on the side and a little bit more of salt would have done this BBF a lot more justice. But a great alternative to LJS/Mac/KFC/etc etc nonetheless.

Jus a note of advice. As often associated with great tasting food, this stuff could clot the thickest and most flexible arteries so eat with caution yeah. Sound the cholesterol Alert! This stuff shoulda have some sort of a health advisory message yeah. "Not meant for single comsumption"/ Pregnant women, or people with high cholesterol/ heart dieases should avoid this like at all cost! But it's good stuff. Just try to drink more tea ( Chinese Tea- Oolong tea ) to wash the oil down. oh and if time permits, exercise more too.

Got our food and we went up to the 7-11 to get a drink. Surprise surprise.. This 7-11 outlet is a new-concept. Open air and with tea-tables and chairs, bar-stools, this mean we could get a drink and sit down inside this 7-11 and eat away. Kind of like a little cafe. And yes, that's our favourite drink, the Super Big Glup.
