Pacific Fish Bar, Custom House

The fish and chips serve at this place were the greasy type of fish and chips.
Chips were ready when ordered so was the fish.
Discovered Pacific Fish Bar while I was in the area and I seriously had to try it because it has been there for decades from the decor tell tale signs.
The cod was definitely memorable as it was super soft and silky like garoupa where the fish flakes literally melt like fibres.

Nevertheless tasty because the cod still had the skin attached which gives it flavour.
Although the chips were a little greasy, it held the salt and vinegar well.
Will be back for more.

Eid ul Fitr the gift of food at flamingo flames

I was in the area so got some free rice and chili and garlic chicken strips Thanks to flamingo flames.

The rice was really tasty with lots herbs while the spicy chicken was very spicy.

Fish with skin at Anerley Chippy

Another one tried, sadly under scaffolding hence the difficult picture.
Located near the overground station, it is ideal for trying when there are rail strikes.
I had the chips with haddock because it was the only fish with skin.

People these days do not like fish with skin so I am guessing the cod is a popular choice hence it is skinless where the haddock isn't as popular so they left the skin on.
As expected, the fish was tasty and chips were good.
It was takeaway so cant rate how good they are without eating at the spot because the chips have endured at least a few minutes in an enclosed environment hence they stick together.
Also the batter stuck to the box but then I would be worried if it didn't stick as it would be overdone.
In terms of greasiness and being overdone, both were perfectly good.

Golden Fish and Chips, Norwood Junction

Just another chippy I thought but when I saw the menu with fish cutlet balls and mutton rolls, I figured it was a Sri Lankan restaurant.
Anyway, I had fish and chips, the chips were definitely made to order and to my liking.
The fish was weird probably because of the orange looking batter which I suppose matches the name of the restaurant ie Golden.
Somehow the fish was just tasteless and skinless while the batter was wrong perhaps too smooth and uniform.
Overall, I just recommend the chips.

Gerry's hot subs at Exmouth market

Gerry's hot subs is coming to Exmouth Market and I simply can't wait.
At a recent visit, I went past Gerry's and fell in love with the American look of the place.

I took a peek and I love the way they have the hot dog vending machines just like the Netherlands and they also serve my favourite poutine with cheese curds according to their online menu.

Modern yet traditional bread and butter pudding at The Clerkenwell Kitchen

Discovered The Clerkenwell Kitchen by chance as I was in the area so went in and had a look at the menu as I needed to find a restaurant for lunch.

Mains were about £14 and there were a few that looked good.

While I was there, I spotted this bread pudding which made me dine there.

I am so glad I took a photo of the bread pudding because the presentation of that one was better the one served as the cream was not all over the place so I couldn't do the bread pudding justice.

Settled for the Chalk Stream Trout Fishcakes with Marinda Tomatoes & Tartar Sauce.

The roast chicken was tempting but then I saw a whole roasted chicken in the kitchen which means it is going to be reheated thus the fish cakes option.

The fish cakes were made to order which explains the soft texture but had a few bones.

Other than that, the whole dish was amazing and paired nicely with the tomatoes and dill dressing and tartar.

Finished with the marmalade & chocolate bread and butter pudding with cream.

When it arrived, the first thing I tried was the cream, I was really pleased it was not sweetened and it was interestingly warm.

The portion was quite big and satisfying, the best thing was that it tasted like proper bread and butter pudding with smooth egg curd here and there. 

The dark chocolate complemented the marmalade orange peel nicely.

Overall, I really recommend this place especially the desserts and it is good to see they serve proper bread and butter sides as opposed to the fancy stuff.

Malaysian Street snacks at Cham Kampung Boy, Queensway Market

Nestled in Queensway Market you will find this stall serving Malaysian street snacks at affordable prices.
As a fan of pandan, I got the Burger Malaysia, Kuih Bengkang Pandan and Seri muka.

Labelled as a Malaysian burger, I felt that it tasted the same as a Jamaican dumpling.

It was filled with sambal and anchovies which I felt was similar to Jamaican saltfish and chilli.

Both the pandan sweets were nice but the Seri muka was my favourite probably because the layer of glutinous rice.
