The Mad Sailors Adventure!!!

The Mad Sailors Adventures!

Cravings for freshly made British grub while having your shopping spree in Haji lane? Just head down to The Mad Sailor located right along Haji lane! They are part of The Black Hole Group which also owns other cafes like the Working Title Burger Bars and many others, they are all halal certified too! The Mad Sailors features many British classics such as the classic fish & chips, Sheperd's Pie, Bangers & Mash, etc. but also have dishes with a local twist to it to cater to our Singaporean tastebuds.

The small eatery consists of 2 floors, nicely decorated to mimic the British ambiance. Priced reasonably, their menu features a lot of British classics and I'm impressed that it included some items that are rare to find in Singapore such as Poutine fries and butterbeer. The menu also has dishes like Sambal fish & chips, and Laska pesto pasta.

My friends and I ordered 2 servings of Classic Fish & Chips with Cod as our fish of choice, Pesto Cream Fish,  and Chick & Chips. Ordering was easy as it was done on our phones with just a scan of a QR code. However, the food came after some time as I assumed it was freshly prepared to order.

When the food came, I was quite impressed with the presentation as the plating was prepared with effort and care. The food looks freshly made too and my mouth was watering as I was taking all these pictures.

The Fish & Chips were well battered and the tartar on the side complements the taste of cod really well! The hand-cut chips were also really fresh and nicely salted. These fries are my favourite as they still have their skin on! Do you know that the bulk of the nutrients in a potato are mostly found on their skin?

The Chick & Chips were served really generously as the amount of chicken is bounteous. My only downside to the Chick & Chips were that it was a tad on the dryer side but the tomato-based sauce on the side helps with that issue. This is also served with the hand-cut chips.

Lastly is the Pesto Cream Fish. This dish is made of Pan-seared pacific dory on a bed of fluffy mashed potato with a vegetable medley in pesto cream sauce. This is a healthier option on the menu as it beats the calorie counts of the other fried food on the menu such as the dishes listed above.

But let's be real, who could resist the crisp crunchy battered fish pictured below???
