Guilty (fast food) Pleasures

Price: $19.50. Authentic fish and chips from Smiths. The fish was fresh and did not have a single tinge of fishy smell. Unlike the fish and chips from some places where the fish itself would be mushy (and disgusting), the fish here is firm (but not hard). The batter was also crisp, not too thick, and wasn't oily at all! Really, it is actually quite hard to find decent fish and chips in Singapore these days.

The chips were also well made. Unlike most stall, especially chain stalls like MFM where the fries are factory made and usually quite horrible, the chips here are quite evidently home-made from potatoes they buy from the market. The chips were well made and they gave a really large portion too!

If you prefer melt-in-the-mouth type of fish, I would recommend the cod; if you prefer the type that's firmer in texture, then I'll recommend the haddock.

Price: $39.90. Jinjja is a Korean fried chicken fast food outlet located in bugis, just beside the entrance of bugis street. As we were lazy to pick and choose what exactly to get, we (five of us) just went for the lazy combo box option. It had 4 large drumsticks, 16 wings, 6 fried gyoza, 2 portions of fries, 1 portion of toboeki, and 4 drinks. As the fast food concept would already have hinted, this Korean fried chicken outlet is really for the fuss free patrons because most of the dishes were average at best. The chicken drumstick and wings are what one would expect from four fingers, as my friend said. Objectively it wasn't bad, but it just isn't any good either. It was so nondescript that I really can't find any special way to describe it. The gyoza was slightly better. It contained prawn paste mixed with veggie, and drizzled on it is this tangy sauce which made the the gyoza the highlight of the meal. The worst of the lot is the toboeki which was hard like rubber. Overall this is really for those seeking for a fuss free and fast Korean fried chicken experience. Expect anything more and you will be disappointed.

One thing I have to commend is its friendly service staff. The box was supposed to contain 16 wings, and to our dismay, we realized and counted that they only gave us 12 pieces after eating more than half. We raised this issue to the service staff and they immediately gave us the 4 we are supposed to have without asking us to prove. So it made the experience quite pleasant.

I wouldn't return here to satisfy my future Korean fried chicken craving, but if you are looking for a fast Korean fried chicken meal and you happen to be in the area, this is for you.

Price:~$7. Verdict: recommended (particularly if you are hungry). This chicken burrito from stuff'd is huge in portion, generous in quantity, and extremely value for money. The taste of it while not top class exceeds the standard one would expect from a takeaway burrito outlet. You can adjust the ingredients within your burrito to create the burrito you want. Stuff'd allows you to choose between 2 kinds of meat (chicken and beef), vege, unlimited amount of sides (humus, sweet corn etc), and 2 sauces. It is evidently subway inspired but better. The texture of the wrap was firm but not too hard, the meat was well-seasoned but not too salty, the vege was fresh, and the sides were refreshing because they are unlike what you'll usually get at subway. It is overall a really large portion and it is recommended that you share with someone if you are not a big eater or if you are not feeling particularly hungry
