Josh’s Grill Singapore: Fish n Chips

A Warm Welcome with Complimentary Buns and Butter

From the get-go, it felt like the kind of place that gets the little things right. No sooner had I been seated than a server placed a basket of warm, fluffy buns on the table, along with a generous dollop of creamy butter. Complimentary, yes, but hardly forgettable. The buns were gently sweet and soft, with just enough weight to hold their own against the rich, salted butter. It was the kind of start that makes you slow down and take notice.

Savoring the Fish and Chips

For my main, I went with the classic fish and chips—my personal litmus test at any grill. What arrived was a hearty fillet of fish, perfectly encased in a crisp golden batter that shattered at the first bite, revealing moist, flaky fish beneath. The fries, thick-cut and well-seasoned, held up beautifully alongside. Paired with a sharp, creamy tartar sauce, the dish struck a satisfying balance of crunch, flavor, and comfort. I also ordered a side of buttered rice, and it was equally impressive—fluffy, fragrant, and generously coated with just the right amount of butter, making it a comforting complement to the main dish.

To round out the meal, I ordered their Galaxy Fizz—a vibrant, fizzy drink with a striking gradient of colors that looked as good as it tasted. Lightly sweet with a citrusy zing, it was a refreshing companion to the richness of the fish and chips, and added a playful touch to an already memorable dinner.

A Memorable Dining Experience

The service was warm without being overbearing, and the energy of the place was infectious. Midway through my meal, I realized what made the atmosphere truly stand out—the playlist. A thoughtful mix of mellow acoustic covers and soft jazz played in the background, filling the space with a vibe that was both relaxed and quietly upbeat. It wasn’t overpowering, just enough to lift the mood without competing with conversation.

In all, it was a well-rounded experience—delicious food, great service, and a touch of soul in the ambience. But more than that, it sparked something for me: a new culinary mission. This plate of fish and chips was among the best I’ve had in a long time, and it left me wondering—where else in Singapore is the bar set this high?

So the quest begins. I’m officially on the hunt for the best fish and chips in Singapore—crispy, flaky, golden perfection—and I’ll be documenting every stop, every bite, every hit (and miss) along the way.

Stay tuned, or better yet, follow the trail on my food blog and the full log on my restaurant board. Josh’s Grill may have kicked off this journey, but something tells me the best is yet to come.
