Fish & Chicks Review: New Tom Yum Pasta And Thai Chilli Fish And Chips For Thai Food Fans

Though their crowd-favourites are sure to please, these new dishes are a must-try if you like your food with a spicy kick, or even if you simply want to try something different for a change. Fish & Chicks - New Tom Yum Fish Pasta And Thai Chilli Fish And Chips Food at Fish & Chicks Thai cuisine without tom yum is like Japanese cuisine without sushi – incomplete.

Fish & Chicks’ take on this quintessential Thai dish combines pasta and a flavourful, spicy tom yum broth. Tom Yum Pasta ($10.50) is topped with a piece of battered fish too. This was the spiciest out of all of the dishes, so you might have to give it a pass if you’re a lightweight chilli champ like myself.

The juicy chicken cutlet was battered and fried to perfection, giving each bite a satisfying crunch. This creamy green curry was made with fresh green chilli and coconut milk, giving it a milder flavour that complements the slightly salty chicken cutlet. If you need some carbs to complete your meal, you’re in luck as the chicken comes with a side of pineapple fried rice.

The pineapple slices in it were refreshing to bite into and gave the dish more sweetness, balancing out the earthy, distinct taste of turmeric. If you’re still not impressed, Thai Chili Fish and Chips with Coleslaw ($11.60) may be the dish for you.

Here, a large piece of battered fish is served on a bed of warm fries with a side of sweet chilli sauce and coleslaw. A plate of fish and chips is great on its own, but the addition of sweet Thai chilli sauce adds another layer of taste you wouldn’t typically experience.

Though the sauce was on the watery side, it managed to cling onto the fish well and packed a punch. The coleslaw served with this dish had sweet blueberry sauce mixed into it and the inner child in me was already tickled by the idea of eating purple coleslaw.

Put this satisfying combo atop a slab of grilled chicken thigh and you’ll get Hawaiian Chicken ($9.50) . This dish features juicy chicken thigh topped with tomato sauce and slices of pineapple.

If you’re someone who thinks choosing between salted egg yolk and chilli crab is like choosing a favourite child, Best of Both Worlds ($14.80) is the dish for you. Each portion comes with two large pieces of battered fish that are drenched in salted egg yolk sauce and chilli crab sauce respectively.

On the other hand, the chilli crab sauce was thicker and more substantial. It even had ribbons of egg white running through the sauce, just like your usual chilli crab dish.

Though there was no actual crab meat, the combination of sweet and spicy was satisfying nonetheless.
