Hello Everyone,
Baby and I recently dined at the Manhattan Fish Market that is situated at Plaza Singapura and I must say, we have had one of the most amazing and interesting dining experiences there. So, when I arrived there early just so that I could queue up and grab seats for us, there was already quite a long queue forming all the way to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe. While waiting for our turn, Aladdin [one of the service staff whom was at the queue stand] distributed menus to those of us whom were in the queue and approached us to enquire how many of us were going to dine. Ok, a side note here, this is one practise that most restaurants do when they face long queues of guests waiting to dine at their restaurants and its a norm just so they could keep guests entertained while waiting. But here’s the amazing part, Aladdin took out a tray of drinks in mini plastic cups and served it to everyone whom were waiting in the queue! Now that’s something really extraordinary. Having worked at many F&B outlets in the past and having dined at so many restaurants, Manhattan Fish Market at Plaza Singapura is one of the rare few that treats their guests to a cup of drink while waiting in line! Kudos to them for the excellent initiative!

So when it was our turn and we entered the restaurant, everyone of the service staff [ok they call themselves, sea-cret agent!] greeted us with a big “Welcome!” in unison. We were so blown away by the warm welcome that Baby said that it was indeed a rare sight for a restaurant to be so welcoming and happening! One of the sea-cret agent [I think her name was Myein or Wyein] presented us with the menu and because Baby had a coupon that has this one-for-one promotion, we decided to give it a go and ordered a set of Fish and Chips which comes with a Clam Chowder Soup and any one drink in the beverage menu. Just to add, the sea-cret agent was very knowledgeable with the food and beverage served in Manhattan Fish Market as well.

Our beverages were served rather promptly. I had the Citrus Mint while Baby had the Cala Cala, and I have to say this, their beverages are not just top in quality but also top  in terms of presentation!

The Cala Cala! [Baby said it was neither very sour nor very sweet. In fact, it was rather balanced and she liked it alot.]

The Citrus Mint! [Baby found this drink to be quite leafy in taste but I kinda like it because I have always been chewing on mint leafs since I was 12.]

Here’s the flavourful Clam Chowder which I really love. Its not very creamy in taste and its filled with generous portions of superb tasting seafood. Not only that, the texture of the soup was just nice and the soup was served piping hot, the way I like my soups to be!

While waiting for our main course, Baby and I were entertaining ourselves by taking photos of one another.

Our entire dinner for the day!

Seriously, the portion was so humongous that even Baby and I could not finish the entire plate of Fish and Chips. In fact, if you are deciding to dine there, we would recommend you to share one plate of Fish and Chips with another person because its really alot even for an above-average eater like me. It can also save you money too!

Just in case you want to know where the restaurant is exactly located, its on the 6th level of Plaza Singapura and they are opened till 10pm daily. For reservations or menu enquiries, you can call their number at 6835 9300.

Stay tuned for more updates from us!

God Bless!
