As a food blogger, I went there to see what the place is like with 5 other friends. To cut it short, it was not a good experience. As soon as we entered the premises, we were greeted politely but that is where it all stops. The restaurant seems to be a fast food place as well as the repair shop. As explained by the host, their microwave broke down and so, the engineer has to fix it, but in the middle of the restaurant area, bothering every customer and making the other table next to us, feeling
As soon as we entered the premises, we were greeted politely but that is where it all stops. The restaurant seems to be a fast food place as well as the repair shop. As explained by the host, their microwave broke down and so, the engineer has to fix it, but in the middle of the restaurant area, bothering every customer and making the other table next to us, feeling uneasy. Those behind me were wondering about the health hazards involved, not least. Whenever one of their kitchen equipment breaks down, be warned.
Back to the food, the fish and chips were quite nice, although not the best. There are not many places that make good chunky chips and this place is not one of them: on that occasion, the fries were too oily and it is never good nor healthy to have fries that is still soaking from oil. When it comes to the fish, we had the cod and the haddock. Althought there was nothing wrong with the taste, the problem is that there was nothing that stood out - the accompanying sauce was very bland and that did not help with the taste of the fishes which themselves were well fried, but weak in flavour. In addition, I had the impression that the batter had a little too high tendency to crumble and separate too easily from the fish. That is minor, but I have been to places where the batter sticks to the fish and this is really how it is supposed to be.
The side dish of mushed peas was alright and is a good accompaniment to the above selection of fish and chips. However, something zestier/tangier would have been preferable - you might notice that the fish batter and fish were bland/tasteless (not too salty and not very 'fishy' in taste but then again, that is the type of the fish), but combining the complimentary mushed peas with the fish and chips is not a great combination. You really need tomatoes or a lemon , or if possible, tartare sauce with it.
As the portions were very average, we also ordered a pie - they had a decent selection but again, the portion was puny. Although we were told that it would be reasonable to share, the pie was really the size of a tennis ball and I would not recommend it to you as a main dish (although it is charged as much as one), but the taste was ok.
The place is not very well lit and it is not a good place to sit in. I could not get any decent pictures, because:
1) somehow the iphone's performance in the dark is abysmal, even with flash.
2) the place is in a dark alley and is not very well lit.
Moreover, maybe all the eating experience boiled down to not eating in a pleasant environment, but this place is 'ok' but there is nothing spectacular. I had better.
题外话/补充资料：
Whenever one of their kitchen equipment breaks down, be warned: we had to have an engineer working on the microwave, on the table next to us.
