One Saturday, my partner and I were at 1 Utama. We were supposed to have dinner at Isetan Eat Paradise.
But when we passed by Fish & Co, my partner suggested we have fish & chips instead. Why not? We haven't been there for sometime and sure, fish & chips would be nice.
We ordered a Peach Granita to share. Aiyo...too sweet!
My partner wanted The Best Fish and Chips and on his suggestion, I got the Seafood Platter for One. I think he must have been very hungry because he also suggested a pizza, something that he does not usually eat.
His order arrived first. I could hear the crunch crunch as he cut into the fish.
And on cue, he talks about the fish and chips in England as he always does.
My seafood platter was not too bad - rice, squid rings, prawns, fish and chips.
And then the Seafood Pizza arrived.
I'm afraid this was not good. It did not taste good and the crust was not adequately baked. In fact the bottom was still raw.
So I scrapped off the filling and left the crust behind.
After dinner, to kill the taste of the pizza, I had a frozen yogurt at IlaoIlao.
My partner had some but was put off by the smell and taste of the yogurt. So I finished up the whole lot hee...hee....
Restaurants shouldn't put things on the menu if they can't do it well though. But I know what you mean... we went to a restaurant specialising in pork recently and we ordered one chicken dish amongst many other pork dishes and it was a disaster.. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Well, lesson learnt hah..hah...
DeleteThat fishy outlet has the slowest services since they opened their doors. I have boycotted them after few attempts making me boil to maximum. I am a very patient customer actually.
ReplyDeleteI love to eat IlaoIlao anytime and could finish the biggest orders by myself. Yummeh!
Yup, that evening service was slow too. I think their fish and chips is OK but not the other items. At IlaoIlao I always order the large one hee..hee...
Deletelol! I never know they have pizza in their menu...Yea, stick to their core item! dun order anything other than that!
ReplyDeleteI did not notice it before too. Maybe it's a new addition to the menu.
DeleteLong time never eat at fish & co
ReplyDeleteMe too. Regretted not ordering fish and chips. No more pizza for us next time. LOL!
DeleteAfter eating the delicious wood oven baked thin crust pizza from Prego, Westin Hotel, I am spoilt so I can not eat any of the pizzas from normal restaurants. I put this fish eatery in my ban list after my last visit there during May 2018 where the deep fried fish was too oily for us.
ReplyDeleteYa lor... tastebuds elevated to high class already hah...hah... I have yet to try the wood oven baked ones.
DeleteSince your partner keeps harping about the (best) fish & chips he has eaten in England, I think he needs to cast a wider net than Fish & Co as I believe there are decent fish & chips to be found here...like Magnificent Fish & Chips, (some from non-fish & chips specialists) Bait, Raft, Yellow Brick Road, even Eatomo or Steaks & Lobsters (is better than Fish & Co). I remember The Yum List mentioning Botanica. Some even say Two Sons Bistro. Perhaps your partner can try one of these. Or you can also check out the list by says.com and get him to try one of those. And maybe, just maybe, you can find one that meets his approval.
ReplyDeleteP/S: What kind of pizza is topped with lettuce?! @_@
It's quite difficult to bring him to new restaurants especially those in KL. He has tried the one at Two Sons Bistro and it did not meet his standards hah...hah... That pizza - I have a feeling nobody ever orders, so that night they simply hentam!
DeleteYou ate most of the crust, anyway. LOL!!! I would love fish and chips as long as it is not dory. Your seafood platter looks great too. Why would anyone want to waste their time and money on pizza at a place like this? :P
ReplyDeleteoopss.. hee..hee... Well, now that I know it is no good, won't order anymore.
DeleteUhhh.... lawan tokey nampak hihi..... u punya menu bukan main meriah lagi kan hihi.... complete warga laut ada dlm tu hahahha
ReplyDeleteMacam lah LL terrer buat pizza kan? heh..heh...
DeleteThe fish and chips and your seafood platter look good. Too bad about the uncooked pizza base.
ReplyDeleteNo more pizza from this place in future hee..hee...
DeleteHaha, definitely a good lesson for him, don't order a pizza at a fish specialist restaurant! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe pizza base looked like those store bought one, did it?
I suspect the crust is those frozen ones >.<
