BBQ Grill Fish at Marina Square

I really like eating bbq grill fish original recipe from Indonesia but to find the really good one that suits my taste is a difficult job. The bbq grill fish is actually dorry fish fried with flour then grill for a while and served with bbq sauce, rice, egg, and cabbage. The bbq sauce and the fish tenderness are the most important things for this meal. I've tried a few bbq grill fish and here is my opinion:
  1. In Plaza Singapura, kopitiam foodcourt. Indonesia bbq restaurant. The fish is hard and the sauce is a way too sweet and if want it with veggie (cabbage and carrot) have to add S$0.5 more, the price itself is about S$5. It is not a really good food and I wonder why there are always a long queue at the lunch time over there, may be because people see of other people queuing so they also do the same thing.
  2. In Wisma atria, food republic food court, just opposite teppanyaki and beside dim sum restaurant and toast box. The food is decent, the fish is grill again with a brush of butter so the fish is soft and the size of the fish is quite big, the rice is soft, the chili is very good (the chili comes with anchovies), the egg is common, and the bbq sauce really taste good with generous amount, the veggie was a lot (no need to pay extra for the veggie). The price is s$5.8 but it's worth the price.
  3. In Marina square, in the food court. The rice is hard, the fish tasted good and tender, the egg is common, the chilli is good, the veggie tasted good and the bbq sauce is really good. However the portion is quite small. The price is S$5.

This is the bbq grill fish from Marina square food court, everything is fine except for the hard rice.

Taiwan Beef bbq Noodle from Plaza Singapura

I often see this Taiwanese restaurant beef noodle at Plaza Singapura down stair and wondered about the taste of their menu. The restaurant located just beside sakae sushi, opposite mobile phone store which is beside Poh Kim dvd-vcd store at underground level (1 floor after KFC and DBS). At least my friend and I went to dinner there. We tried their signature dish beef brisket noodle, beef bbq sauce noodle, and not to forget Taiwan Mango sorbet ice with fruits famous dessert. Unfortunately due to the hunger I forgot to take picture of the beef brisket noodle and the dessert. However if I'm not mistaken the price range of the beef brisket noodle is about S$10 and it's quite a big portion, the bbq sauce beef noodle is about S$8.5, and the mango sorbet ice (the most popular one there) is about S$6.5.

My friend told me that the beef brisket noodle tastes good, too bad I didn't try it because it won't be approriate to take food from a hunger person.... (both of us were starving).


This bbq beef noodle doesn't look appetizing, it is indeed doesn't taste good. The beef is not fresh so I couldn't taste the real taste of the meat I was just like eating some tasteless food (even the sauce is tasteless just had a bit sour taste), the noodle cooked too long and really it's better to have yong tau foo noodle compare to this one. I don't feel like eating this noodle again.


However, the dessert is really nice and it is a big portion. Me and my friend were sharing the dessert, it came with a big bowl. The fruits are strawberry, mango, and kiwi soaked into sugar water and put into fridge I think it tasted good, and the mango sorbet is really nice.

Overall if I choose to go there again I would rather having only the sorbet since the other menu seems unappetizing and may be not their specialty.
