Fish & Co., Paragon Orchard

I haven't been very diligent in updating my blog so I think it's high time to catch up on blog lags.

Last Dec.13, the last weekend before I went to the Philippines, I went Xmas shopping with Aileen & Bill. Fish & Co. in Paragon is where we had dinner.

Aileen & Bill upsized their order to set meal so it comes with soup and a drink. If I remember it correctly, the soup was Clam Chowder. Very good and very rich actually.

Aileen ordered "Prawns Fettuccini with chili cream" (S$15.90) - fettuccini tossed with tiger prawns in homemade chili cream sauce. Serving was quite big so we all shared this dish. Bill found the noodles a bit overcooked. Overall, I think it was really good though. The mixture of cream and chili was very savoury.

Bill ordered "Seafood Platter for Two" (S$45.90) - platter of seasonal fish, calamari, king prawns & scallops in creamy garlic and lemon butter sauce. Now this platter was humongous! It was more like a platter for 4, than for 2. The seafood actually lay on a bed of rice pilaf and though quite expensive, it was worth it.

Naturally, since this is the first time I feature Fish & Co in my blog, I had the "The Best Fish & Chips in Town!" (S$15.90) - a fish & co. classic! fried, topped with lemon butter sauce & served with chips.

I wouldn't say it's the best fish & chips I've ever tasted. I particulary don't like their breading. I would prefer breadcrumbs than a batter. Nonetheless, it was ok.

Fisherio's Fish 'N' Chips, Bugis Junction

I noticed here in Singapore, there are throves of stores selling fish 'n' chips. From restos to hawker stalls, they are everywhere. Which I actually like. Ironically, in Manila, there are only a few select places where you can buy quality fish n chips. To think that the Philippines harvests a lot of seafood all year round.


Fisherios at Bugis Junction looked inviting so we tried it. We wanted to order regular fish n chips but the proactive service crew offered us the chicken and fish combo ($9.90) since we were going to share.


Utterly disappointing. First of all, I don't know why they had to wrap it in paper when we were going to eat it there. Second, the serving was so freaking small for its price. You can buy bigger and better fish and chips at the hawkers for half the price. Heck, even Astons' crispy chicken had 2 sidings for half the price. More so, you could count the number of fries with your fingers. The only consolation was the unlimited tartar, chili and ketchup.

Here is my dismal rating for Fisherios:
