Dinner at Fish & Co in Gurney Plaza
Recently we had dinner at Fish & Co Restaurant on the ground floor facing Gurney Park Condominium and the garden of Gurney Plaza. This restaurant serves top notch seafood with excellent service. The waiters are young and good-looking. I ordered a seafood combo of fish fillet, grilled prawns with luscious white tartar sauce, chips and saffron rice with raisins and a slice of lemon. It also has calamari or sotong but I asked for more prawns instead of the high cholesterol calamari.
Photo 1 shows my seafood combo while photo 2 shows the 3 types of sauces of white mayonnaise, raw chopped garlic and chilly sauce. Since raw garlic is supposed to prevent cancer, I asked for additional helping and the waiter kindly obliged with several rounds. Photo 3 is a closeup of the prawns with tantalizing white sauce sprinkled with green herbs. Photo 4 was what my partner ordered consisting of fried dory fish fillet and potato chips. You will notice that in this restaurant, all food are served in steel frying pans straight from the cooking stove. It is kind of ingenious to serve this way with obviously bigger portions of everything. The food tasted good and bids me to come back everytime I walk past Fish & Co. Due to the price, we occasionally dine here but not everyday. Otherwise, it may burn a hole in my partner’s pocket. Just joking!
The first time I dined in this place, after paying our bills, we were given 2 mints and a free velvet coin wallet in the shape of their logo, a fish. My sisters dined one time and got an attractive writing notepad. It is not always that they give out souvenirs but if they like you, they will give you something to remember after payment.

while the food is only so-so, the chili sauce is pretty good though.

I don’t take chilly sauce as it kills the original taste of the fish but it blends well with garlic though.
