Traditional British Fish & Chips consist of beer battered fish fried to golden perfect, complemented by thick cut fries that are greasy chunks of fried potato. They are wrapped up in (news)paper and served piping hot to patrons who delight their senses in the aroma and tastes of the fish & chips on their lap. Most Singaporeans would have come to know about Smith's Fish & Chips as well as CHIPPY British's snack kiosks scattered across town, but have they actually tried the battered fish and famed
I got a snack-bag sized B.B.F., or rather, beer batter fish (even though this came with fries too) at $4.80 from a stall at the Far East Branch. For a snack bag, it admittedly had a good number of fish chunks in it even though they weren't very large. The fish was fresh and deep fried on the spot, giving it this lovely golden brown color. Steam wafts from your mouth when you bite into it because it is just that hot -a perfectly sinful snack for a cold afternoon. The fries were thick and chunky, the way I like it -and doused adequately in their malt vinegar + salt.You can opt for malt vinegar, ketchup or chicken gravy for free, or you can choose some premium dips such as their special mayo and two other sauces which I don't quite recall. I always opt for malt vinegar or ketchup. The malt vinegar is tangy and delightfully refreshing, complementing the heaviness of the fried food. I wish that the person preparing my BBF could have given me a bit more malt vinegar This snack bag has enough to fill you up, so much so that this so-called 'snack' can easily pass off as a meal if you aren't a big eater. You do get sick of the oily taste after awhile though, or at least that's what happened to me. I'm glad I had the malt vinegar to whet my appetite!
The service at the Far East Branch is far from good -the guy takes his own sweet time to prepare the food and the art of multitasking eludes him. He completes one order entirely (the process from taking the order, processing the payment, preparing the food and finally, collection) before taking another...A painfully slow wait if you're very hungry. However, for $4.80 it's worth the price and I definitely would have it again.
I recommend the beer batter fish & fries with malt vinegar/ketchup. Always has been my fav at CHIPPY.
