Located right in the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio is this new UK style Fish N Chips shop! I was quite surprised to find this gem in my neighbourhood. They even have a book exchange shelf whereby you can bring a book from home to exchange, an initiative by National Library Board.The interior is very quaint and cosy with a lot of clocks displayed on the wall. The chairs are more like stools with a "half-back" support. You can watch the barista in action and their display of chilled drinks and desserts

And here's the menu! Not a lot to choose from, but enough to keep me coming back to try more ! I think for a week old cafe, it has decent offerings!
1. Murphy's Fish and Chips $16 + $1 (non oily)
So I was quite curious as to how it would taste! A non oily fish n chips, was unheard of to me! The batter was crispy, a bit too crispy for me as I had crispy bits flying all over the place as I sank my knife into the huge fish.
I did enjoy the fish, and as it didn't leave a lingering oily after taste, I happily enjoyed the fries too! Thick cut, chips, oh how I have missed you!
2. Poached Eggs with Salmon $12
I loved how this was presented. The huge slices of salmon were rolled up almost as if they were roses. The salmon tasted fresh and placed upon two perfectly well poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce wasn't overpowering so I could still taste the crusty bread.
3. Summer Berry Yogurt Tart $6.50
The shop owner told me that they get their desserts from a home bakery and this definitely tasted home made! The little flower on top was made of cream cheese and I was happy that this though looked like a blueberry cheesecake was not all cheese! #lessfattening
It wasn't too sweet, which is why I usually shun tarts but this was perfect!
Check out the layers! It really tasted like yogurt and it was light and didn't make me feel gerlat! I wish they had more desserts available tonight but sadly I will have to come back to try more!
All in all, a true hidden gem in the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood. Do give them a try if you are in the area and definitely try their non oily fish and chips! It redefines the term "fried fish"!!
