Chong Qing Grilled Fish 重庆烤鱼 (Serangoon)

fish was v fresh! added chinese cabbage & potato slices (+$3 ea.) which made a satisfying meal for 2. Personally prefer TANYU in terms of taste, value and presentation, but soup here is more 麻 and location is more accessible!

4 Steps to ordering grilled fish
• Choice of Fish
• Choice of Flavour
• Level of Spiciness
• Choice of Sides

Their recommendation was patin fish but we thought it was too huge for us since it's one size only and we went with sea bass that comes in S and XL sizes. Other choices of fish include golden snapper (M/XL) and flounder (M).

The recommended flavours are spicy numbing, spicy fragrant and mushroom herbs. Other flavours include pickled cabbage, hot & sour, fermented black bean and fresh chillies. There are also 3 levels of spiciness - Mild (微辣), Medium (中辣) and Extreme (大辣) to choose from. Lastly, choose some sides to go along with the broth and fish.

We got the small sea bass in spicy fragrant (一品香辣) flavour and a mild level of spiciness. The fish was grilled to perfection, firm and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The broth was light, fragrant and packed with a good amount of blended spices. The different level of spiciness is altered using chilli oil and are available to add-on upon request. We also ordered a portion of handmade noodles and it goes so well with the broth 》$32 + $5.80 Handmade Noodles

Went to CQ Grilled Fish at Serangoon Gardens last week and ordered the Sea Bass (S) in Spicy Fragrant flavour!😇 Added other stuff like enoki mushrooms, quail eggs, pork slices😁 Also ordered a coke and the total was $76 for 2 pax after GST & Svc Charge!

Overall ratings 7/10! Soup and fish were pretty good but it is a little pricey and I find that the 313 Outlet is better in terms of quality? Might differ across outlets. Would head back to try other fish and flavours in the future😇

Chong Qing Grilled Mala Fish

Yummy (: But very pricy - occasional treat

Super worth for mala IMO!!! Set A is the cheapest set, you can choose 5veg! As their mala is abit too spicy for me (😅), I usually get the non-spicy HAHA and it’s fried really well in a garlicky sauce!

I was very surprised to see that Chong Qing Grilled Fish was swarmed with fish fans who enjoyed loads of spice along with it.

Had it not been for my colleagues’ recommendation, I would really not know that they had a less spicy version, that is the Pickled Cabbage flavour. It came as dish with a tray of sourish base. Given the little amounts of bones and scales on the Patin fish, it became a good choice for us, especially since we liked our fish with less fine bones hidden under the flesh. On the whole, the dish was quite appetising with the adequate levels of sourness.

Paying S$39.00 for this was all right, but it was just not enough for our table of 5 to share. And so, we ordered another set in a different flavour of soup base. That was not inclusive of the many plates of “side dishes” and two towers of beverages to go with the meal. And since it was a weekend dinner, our table was expected to dine for a maximum of 90 minutes, which we managed to do so abidingly.
