Manhattan Fish Market - The all new 'Fish & Chips' experience!

 Went to MFM to try out their new concept of fish & chips which is served with free flow crispy potato chips and various tartar sauces.
 I ordered the original dory fish @RM24 nett, which is served on a piece of paper....
It feels like eating banana leaf rice or somekind of cheap dining where the food is spread on a piece of paper. The fish taste the same, but the chips were too oily...
Clever marketing gimmick coz it is advertised with 'free flow chips' to lure customer, but one cannot have so much chips when it is just too oily...at least not for me....
I believe their strategy these days is to target on the youngster who dare to try out anything new, especially these sauces. And yes, they are free flow too...
The flavors: BBQ (missing from here), curry, spicy, lime, spicy grapefruit, and of course, original.
The sauces were great, and my fav are curry and lime.
 The free flow sauces and chips is sure a wow-factor to lure the youngster in....but it disappoint me...
I still prefer the fish & chips served on plate with decent sauces, rather than savouring on the unlimited 'oily' chips and various tartar sauces.
I think this would be my last fish & chips with MFM (if they continue with such concept)….
I did not order any drink coz I felt those drinks are overpriced.
Instead I went to McD to get the RM1 frozen Fanta. Yea, it is good enuff to quench my thirst with this orange flavor. I didn't know they have this flavor as usually it is just grape or cola (coke).

ah, you didn't go try the mamee fish and chips? or has that promotion finished already? I didn't realize the chips were free flow when I tried the mamee fish and chips. don't think I will visit MFM again also. You don't think the orange mcfreeze is too sweet? are you going to try the sweet chilli fish burger of mcd? or the strawberry custard pie?

Thanks for the review. Free flow chips definitely cannot lure me lol. I would also order orange flavour too, rather than the usual coke or grape.
