Not-So-Magnificent Fish & Chips


The Magnifent Fish & Chips. Sounds corny right? Well, one have to try it out to know whether it stood up to its name. I've heard many reviews about this place which is located in the happening street of Changkat Bukit Bintang. It's Friday and I've been craving for authentic English fish & chips (wrapped in newspaper and all). So invited a few friends for a night of food experimenting!




The fish comes with chips (duh) and tartar sauce. The tartar sauce was a bit of a let down though. Usually besides the crunchy fish & chips, I'd look forward to the tangy tartar sauce. This was nothing close to magnificent. Sigh. Oh you can drizzle some vinegar and salt for the added authenticity and flava!

Here you have to pay between 20 and 45 ringgit for a single piece of battered fish. But of course, it's quality fish and cooked to perfection! However the batter (or should I say, anything fried with batter) will leave you feeling "too-full" to the extend of nauseatic a.k.a. BM term: "jelak".

















The menus are on the walls. Not just fish & chips of course. There are other main dishes as well like Shepard's pie, bangers and mash, mushy peas and beef and onion pie. But if you are in The Magnificent - of course you gotta try the FISH right? There's even a single (wall) menu just for desserts! Hooray! Unfortunately, after having "battered" by the battered fish and oily chips, one is too full to have desserts. Even my special tummy compartment specially for desserts have battered fish inside. Euww...




Ped's Parrot Fish that went inside the worm-hole.


Hawa with Shepard's Pie + Green Peas = good girl.
