I hate dining in the city area. Food court meals are usually lousy, and it’s the same fast food places and restaurants over and over again.

"Fish & Co." is one of the mid-range restaurants around the city area that I love to visit again and again without getting sick of it. It’s just like its tagline, "“one bite & you’re hooked!" I’m hooked to "Fish & Co".

When I first tried "Fish & Co", the fish and chips vaguely reminded me of those that I had in Australia. From that day onwards, I’m hooked. My favourite outlets of "Fish & Co." are the outlets at Wheelock Place (where the photos are taken) and the Glass House. On some nights, there’re bands playing at the Glass House but I always seem to miss it whenever I’m there. The Wheelock Place outlet has become my favourite "Fish & Co." outlet these days. Simply because besides the delicious food it has there, the view from the restaurant is lovely. Food always tastes better when it’s coupled with a great view and great atmosphere.


Compared to some other local restaurants or food chains that have sprung up almost the same period, "Fish & Co." is the only restaurant that makes me wants to go back to it again and again. Sometimes, the more outlets the restaurant have, the more the restaurant lost its magical touch that had made you fall in love with it at first. Somehow, "Fish & Co." is different regarding this aspect, and that is what makes this restaurant chain special.

When I first tried "Fish & Co." a few years back, the menu was a board and everything they had was listed in a booklet pasted on the board. There were many nice items on the menu, but I felt that the choice offered to me was limited. Since then, many new items have been added to their menu and I love its current menu now.

One thing that I’m very particular about eating seafood is that it has to be fresh. No matter how the seafood is going to be prepared, may it be fried or smoked or steamed, as long as it’s fresh, it’s going to taste good. And that’s the reason why I like "Fish & Co." One item that I love there is the "Mussels Penne with Garlic and Lemon Cream". I love the creamy sauce that comes along with the pasta. It’s thick and delicious, and it doesn’t give me the sick feeling even after finishing the entire plate.

For the first time, I tried the desserts at "Fish and Co" last week. It’s yummy! It’s Ben & Jerry ice-cream, with coco pops, mini Oreos, and M&Ms. It’s the ultimate sinful combination. *drool* I’m tempted to try the other ice-cream combinations they had there, but I guess I’ll do it the next time instead. :-p
