I’m a great fan of fish and chips. It’s the dish I missed most when I was living in Japan - to the extent that it was the first dish I savoured when I boarded the ferry to visit Busan, South Korea.
Normally, I am breathless from the deluge of parenting and teaching pressures, but since it is THE HOLIDAYS, I put in extra effort to head down to Lad & Co. at Tanglin Road. Redditors proclaim it to serve the best fish and chips in Singapore, so I was intrigued to find out whether it is really superior to my trusty fish and chips from Fish & Co.
My verdict? I loved that the batter was delightfully crunchy and chewy, without overpowering the fresh and tender skin. Its exquisite flavour was accentuated by the curry and spicy tartar sauces.
The meal was also made memorable by the atmospheric vibes. I closed my senses really hard and pretended that I was overseas. Actually, there are quiet places in Singapore; I just got to make the effort.
