Sea bass in fried chye poh sauce ($9.90 special) 🐟 7/10
The way you order fish here is kind of confusing -- you have to write on a chit:
1️⃣ What kind of fish you want (which determines the dish's price)
2️⃣ Whether you want your fish steamed or fried, and
3️⃣ What sauce you want out of 6 sauces.

When I ordered the 'fried chye poh sauce', I was expecting the 港式蒸鱼 (cantonese fish) style with added crispy radish on top. Yes the radish was crispy but the sauce was simple diluted soy sauce.
Deep fried sea bass in nyonya assam ($22) 🐟 7/10
Not a big fan of their assam here because everyone knows peranakan food is supposed to taste strong but this wasn't strong-flavoured enough. It was barely sour too.
I liked the crispiness of the fish -- judging by how long it took for them to cook the dish, it was definitely freshly fried. But I think it could have been crispier especially at the head and tail.
