As I was craving for some deep-fried stuff, we decided to head to London Town @ Solaris Dutamas for some good old British-style fish and chips right after work.
As London Town intends to bring a piece of Britain to KL, it is no surprise that their signature dish is none other than the London Town Fish & Chips (RM 24.90) - large breaded dory fillet and large chips with tartar sauce and mushy green peas.
The first thing that comes to my mind firstly was "Wow, such a big portion!" and then, it was "It looks and smell so good". First impression has definitely scored a lot of points.

The deep-fried fish was fried with a nice golden-brown and it was very crispy on the outside - in fact, a little too crunchy until it was quite hard. The first half was alright but after a while, my jaws started to ache and my attention has totally shifted from enjoying the fish to trying to scrap off the batter.Otherwise, it would have been quite good as the fish was quite juicy although we felt that the freshness is somewhat lacking.
I love the tartar sauce as it was not overly creamy and fatty although I would prefer if they had put a bit more pickles into it. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice into it and it is delicious.
Then there is the mushy green peas, a traditional accompaniment to fish and chips in England. While I find it a bit drier and lumpy than expected, it was very nice and well-seasoned. Wished they had been a bit more generous with it because it felt like only two tablespoons of it.
Overall, there are hits and misses with this dish. The fish was slightly on the disappointing side, but the mushy green peas, tartar sauce and fries added a bit more points to it. If you ask me, I don't think it is the best fish and chips you can get in town but it is still worthy to try it.
We also ordered Mushroom soup (RM 8.00) as starter. The soup tasted a little bit like a straight-out-of-can soup but there were quite a lot of mushroom pieces in it. Okay for me, but so-so for KS.
