Fish and Chicks - Not too impressive and over hyped

The famous fish and chicks made famous by blogger Seth Lui .After the blog article was published, there is a massive queue (everytime I want to eat) and the signature fish and chips are usually sold out for lunch and dinner.

Finally, I head down on a weekday night and the queue is finally not so horribly long (still waited an hour before food is served). I ordered their best of both worlds $12.90 which has the signature salted egg sauce and chilli crab sauce drizzled on the fried fish. 

I quite like the fish as it taste fresh and is well fried and with the meat retaining its moisture after deep frying. But halfway through the dish, I started to feel overindulgent and greasy (age must be catching up) and I am tempted to abandon the entire dish. 

The sauce though delicious are only drizzled sparingly. I will have very much preferred the sauce to be served on a dish and I can dip as much as I want to and the fried fish won’t turn soggy in between mouthfuls. Between the 2 sauces, salted egg with fried fish is a better combination then the chilli crab sauce which I felt that something missing and doesn’t really work with the fish. Rated: 6.5/10

More care should be considered when ordering the sides, as I end up with almost everything fried. :(

On 2^nd visit, I decided to try their Hawaiian grilled chicken cutlet ($7.90). It was very very dry and really quite unappealing. Even the cheese on top doesn’t save the day. I guess I had my fair share of fish and chicks and you won’t see me visiting this place anytime too soon. Perhaps on the day the crowd wanes down and I may just reconsider. Rated: 4.5/10

London Fat Duck 伦敦烧鸭 - Is the duck as fat as it claims?

Me and Hubs wanted to try London Fat duck but this place is usually very packed. Since we are having a late dinner, we decide to try our luck there. There is no queue (yay!) and we are quickly ushered a seat. Ordered the signature rose duck but requested for drumstick instead. We are informed that we need to pay more for the drum, an additional $3 each. 

Admittedly, wait time is decent but as i was hungry it did seem like a really long time. I took a bite off my London Roast Duck noodle ($8.80 + $3.00 for the drumstick) and was blown away. The skin is crispy the drum is fatty with the meat. Its so so delicious. 

Rated: 8/10

But i quickly realized not all ducks are made equal. While i was in 7th heaven, Hubs took a taste of his Roast duck and BBQ pork ($9.80 + $3.00 for drumstick) and commented that it wasn't out of earth delicious as i mentioned. A quick look and bite on his meat indicated that my duck is actually fattier and hence much tastier. 

Rated: 7/10

The noodles is also well made and is typical of very thin wanton noodles. I was elated to find out there is also other outlets and one in orchard!. 

We finished our meal with a Homemade barley ($2.80) and Cooling Herbal Tea ($2.80). 

Hopelessly satisfied.

I noted that the rating at hungry go where when i checked is a low 3 star with some people commenting that the food is sub-par. I was glad still tried despite the poor rating as i personally feel the rating should be much much higher.
