As me and my boyfriend walked around in bugis i suddenly had a craving for fish and chips! Thus we decided to have our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market! Or MFM as my bf calls it. I had Fish and chips and my bf had Mediterranean baked fish, due to my sore throat i changed my chips to rice and my bf craved chips so he did the opposite, changes are free. We chose to have a perfect catch for one of the meal (Soup of the day + 1 free soft drink) The Cream of broccoli was just EPIC as my boyfriend call
The Cream of broccoli was just EPIC as my boyfriend calls it. The picture says it all. Its edible but not delectable. Not much taste but it was chunky which i liked.
Moving on to my main course, my Fish and rice (dory) was similar to many other fish and chips. The fish is dipped in batter then deep fried. The batter was crispy and golden brown. Taste wise the serving of dory was pretty big and it was fresh and thick! Unlike certain outlets that have thin dory, the dory here was thick, juicy and fresh! Coupled with the fragrant rice that was served, it made my day, although the rice was a little too hard for my liking.
My boyfriend's Mediterranean Baked Fish took a little while longer to cook. When it was served, it reminded me of a chinese cooking style. It was baked in a aluminium foil wrapped around a fish placed on a (Pandan?) leaf and seasoned with chilli padi and onions giving it a very sweet and spicy taste. Very weird combination thou when eaten with fries. Recommended to stick with it's original serving of rice. I didnt really like the taste of the spices but my boyfriend liked it.
Overall i give it 4/5 stars for its service, food and ambiance. (:
