It may be called Fat Monkeys, but the owner certainly ain’t monkeying around when it comes to the quality of his food. Situated at the back of the same coffeeshop as Ponggol Nasi Lemak, Fat Monkeys serves up Fish Two Ways ($9.90 nett). It sees two humongous battered fish fillets deep fried to perfection, and served with black pepper sauce and chili crab sauce. A salad and a whole heap of fries complete the hearty ensemble.
The duo of delicious, deep fried golden brown fish fillets are flaky and magnificently moist, while the chili crab sauce is actually packs heat, unlike many others. Savory, sweet and tangy, the chili crab sauce got me just wanting the raw sauce, no ketchup. Plus, there’s even real crab meat in there. The black pepper sauce was no slouch too, as the black pepper within wasn’t overpowering and the sauce was rather pleasant.
In the savage (concrete) jungle that is western hawker food, Fat Monkeys are gonna make some fat stacks if they continue to churn out such fantastic food.
