Riverside Grilled Fish – For Lovers Of Tongue-Numbing And Spicy Ma La Goodness!
Singaporeans love their Ma La dishes and steamboat. So much so that many restaurants specialising in Si Chuan or Chong Qing cuisine have set up shop in our sunny little island. Riverside Grilled Fish 江边城外 is one of the latest restaurants to take the bait and join the fray. It specialises in Chong Qing style grilled whole fish.
Discover SG has got the scoop on it and we are here to share more.
Riverside Grilled Fish’s History
Riverside Grilled Fish was founded by two friends who happened to try grilled fish topped with Ma La sauce while travelling in Wushan Town, Chong Qing.

Grilled Fish with Double Cut Red and Green Chillies Sauce[/caption]
Needless to say, both of them were so taken with the robust flavours of the grilled fish that they set up their first restaurant in Beijing in 2005. Their restaurants all over China see long queues every day, much like what we experience at Hai Di Lao here in Singapore.
The rest as they say, is history.
Have your fish and eat it
Diners can choose from 4 types of locally sourced saltwater fishes priced between $35 and $42.
These include red tilapia, sea bass, black promfret and garoupa. The chef will cook the fish in the sauce of your choice.
Riverside Grilled Fish offers 8 sauces for you to choose from.

Riverside Grilled Fish – Signature Fragrant Spicy Sauce[/caption]
According to the team at Riverside Grilled Fish, their Signature Fragrant Spicy Sauce (spicy and sweet) is a must try!
[caption id="attachment_18813" align="aligncenter" width="2000"]
Riverside Grilled Fish – Ma La Sauce[/caption]
For those who die die must eat something spicy for every meal, the Ma La sauce is specially concocted for you!
However, if you can’t take spicy food at all, opt for the black bean sauce. It is the only non-spicy sauce in the menu.
[caption id="attachment_18773" align="alignnone" width="1654"]
Riverside Grilled Fish – Black Bean Sauce[/caption]
Once you have decided the fish and sauce of your choice, you can choose the ingredients to go with your fish.
Riverside Grilled Fish offers 18 items priced from $2.50 to $4.50 per dish. These include sausages, pork belly, tofu sheets and flat vermicelli.
Side dishes
The Si Chuan Crispy Duck ($12.80) is a must try, because it looks oh-so-tender on the inside, yet so crispy on the outside!
According to the Riverside Grilled Fish team, the duck is first marinated in Juniper spice, then steamed. Lastly, it is deep fried for that crispy taste and golden brown exterior.
[caption id="attachment_18664" align="alignnone" width="940"]

Another item you’ll love is Si Chuan flat noodles ($4.80).
The translucent looking flat noodles is made with quality soya beans directly sourced from Si Chuan. This explains its chewy texture. The red sauce of the flat noodles is spicy yet sour, which is refreshing to the palate!
Finally, end your meal with the popular pan-fried rice cake with soya powder ($6.80).
The rice cake is first pan fried with eggs then sprinkled with soya powder.
You can also choose to dip your rice cakes in white sugar to sweeten it.
Big fish in a little red dot at Raffles City
Since opening its first outlet in Beijing, Riverside Grilled Fish has expanded to 54 outlets in 12 cities in China.
Its Raffles City outlet in Singapore marks its first foray overseas.
Occupying a sprawling 5000 sq ft at the basement, Riverside Grilled Fish seats 150 pax.
Its interior is tastefully furnished to resemble a traditional fishing village so you see fishing nets, lanterns and wooden doors all around.
Tantalising Lunch Deal
Fish and spicy food lovers can now look forward to a tantalising lunch deal at Riverside Grilled Fish.
The restaurant is offering a weekday set lunch for two at $25++.
This includes a Japanese saba fish, white rice, and two drinks (soya or barley).

So, we found some healthy, interesting and delicious nutty concoctions from various artisans brands that you can get right here, on our sunny little island.
1) Baking Blocks
Baking Blocks’ has an amazing collection of Pure Hazelnut, Pure Almond and Pure Pistachio Pastes.

The end product? A decadent healthy and sweet treat that relieves insomnia while keeping a healthy heart.
A Juicery5) Gorilla Press
Gorilla Press’ Nut Mylks are made from a blend of almonds and cashews, resulting in a perfectly rich and velvety nut beverage. They use the traditional hang-squeeze and double-filtration method to produce their nut milks. By doing so, they retain the maximum nutritional values in their products. Lightly sweetened with medjool dates (one of the healthiest natural sweetener in the world), a bottle of nut mylk from Gorilla Press Co is packed full of energy and hence, makes a really great pre-workout meal or snack. Inspired by their Asian roots, flavours such as matcha and black sesame are blended into their nut milks to give them that extra oomph and creaminess. Ditch that green tea latte from Starbucks and give their matcha nut milk a try! Gorilla Press Taking such great care in perfecting their product formulations, the end products are a collection of high-quality and nutrient-packed beverages. A great dairy-free perk-me-up from HIC is their coffee nut milk. It’s a really simple blend of almond milk, cold brew coffee and medjool dates. Now, you can perk yourself up the healthy way! HIC Antidote has stated that they choose their ingredients really carefully and use only top quality raw nuts in their beverages. The result? Nut milks pumped with body-loving superfoods. A bottle of nut milk from Antidote is essentially a body-fueling nutritional powerhouse. So abundantly filled with nutritional superfoods, a bottle is great enough to fuel your body for a workout, or until your next meal. Antidote’s Real Cacao Milk consists of a blend of almond milk with superfoods such as raw cacao, maca powder and cinnamon. Unlike the usual chocolate milks that are filled to the brim with sugars and preservatives, Antidote uses raw cacao to give their nut milk that rich, chocolaty flavour. Raw cacao is also extremely rich in antioxidants, so ladies, drink more of those to retain that youthful look! A bonus: Maca root powder helps to keep you in shape by regulating the fat distribution process in your body! Antidote

Image source: The Silver Chef[/caption]

Sichuan food can be a little intimidating. Just thinking about the flower pepper gives us chills!
[caption id="attachment_17702" align="alignnone" width="540"]
Image source: Bing_leow[/caption]
But at Birds of Feather, the Sichuan-ness actually enhances the flavours of the Western cuisine served. And the ambience there will make you feel like you’re in Chengdu… well, minus the giant panda bears!
Party All Night
The event might start at 3pm, but once the sun is down (10pm onwards), step into Ding Dong as the playful restaurant space is reimagined into a retro dance floor on this day!
[caption id="attachment_17705" align="alignnone" width="776"]

Meat Lovers, Renga-Ya’s Hokkaido and Kagoshima Beef Are All You Need!
Meat lovers, listen up! Think you’ve tried the best Japanese beef Singapore has got to offer? Renga-Ya is here to top your must-try Wagyu list.
[caption id="attachment_18143" align="alignnone" width="932"]
Party Platter[/caption]
Rejoice, because Renga-Ya Japanese BBQ & Steak Restaurant has officially opened its doors at Chijmes. And they’ll be dishing the best of beef from the prefectures of Hokkaido and Kagoshima.
Oakleaf Hokkaido Prime Beef
All Oakleaf prime beef served in Renga-Ya is carefully sourced from Hokkaido.
[caption id="attachment_18136" align="alignnone" width="851"]
Hokkaido Platter[/caption]
The cows there are breed naturally without the use of antibiotics and genetically modified feed. Instead, herbs are mixed to the feed, so the meat has a natural refreshing flavour.
Kuroge A5 Grade Wagyu
Kagoshima may be well known for its active volcano but their Kuroge (Black Hair) beef is definitely a MUST TRY among meat lovers.
[caption id="attachment_18137" align="alignnone" width="852"]
Kagoshima Platter[/caption]
What makes it really special is the well-balanced fat marbling and full-bodied flavour of the meat.
Beef Two Ways
Renga-Ya is as much a Yakiniku restaurant as a steak house.
As they import whole cows from Hokkaido and Kagoshima, diners can look forward to a wide-range of cuts in Japanese BBQ or flamed-grilled style.
[caption id="attachment_18134" align="alignnone" width="837"]
Renga Ya Platter[/caption]
We highly recommend the Renga- Ya BBQ Platter (300g at $89.00 and 500g at $139.00) if you’d like to savour the best of both worlds (50:50 of Oakleaf and Wagyu).
[caption id="attachment_18140" align="alignnone" width="923"]
Renga Ya Zen Set[/caption]
The Karubi (short rib) and Jou Rosu (chuck roll) are hands down our favourite.
Cut to precise thickness, it’s so tender that it melts in your mouth!
[caption id="attachment_18144" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Hokkaido Steak Image source Renga-Ya[/caption]
Steak lovers, you can try the juicy Hokkaido or Kagoshima striploin (200g at $89.00), ribeye (200g at $59.00) or tenderloin (200g at $69.00), complemented with a choice of in-house steak sauce, ponzu radish sauce or peppercorn sauce.
Side Dishes That Are To Die For!
Main star aside, Renga-Ya also specialises in other dishes such as the Hokkaido Beef Tataki with Japanese Onions and Beef Carpaccio, which is eaten raw.
[caption id="attachment_18138" align="alignnone" width="749"]
Beef Tataki[/caption]
The Oyster dish is a must try if you’d like to heighten your dining experience.
[caption id="attachment_18141" align="alignnone" width="781"]
Oysters[/caption]
Featuring succulent oysters imported from Hiroshima and seasonal vegetables from Hokkaido, this dish will make you feel less guilty from the overload of meat.
[caption id="attachment_18142" align="alignnone" width="904"]
Ika Yuzu Jelly Watercress Salad[/caption]
While you’re at it, don’t forget to order the super refreshing Ika Yuzu Jelly Watercress Salad. The acidity of the Yuzu jelly goes extremely well with the watercress, it’s like summer in your mouth.
Our ambassador, Valerie, visited Renga-ya. Here’s what she had to say:

Sarnies’ New Menu Packs A Solid Punch: From Curry Pasta To Overflowing Burgers!
Oft regarded as a tranquil sanctuary for coffee buffs and Aussie grub addicts, Sarnies has bowled us over with its latest dinner menu of hearty, honest-to-goodness cuisine.
In celebration of their 6 years of serving up comfort food and specialty coffee, Chef Zak has concocted a new dinner menu with dishes packing a solid punch.
Sarnies has always placed an emphasis on providing wholesome meals made from scratch using only fresh, quality ingredients.
Their new dinner menu (served from 6pm onwards) features grass-fed beef, chicken free from any hormones or antibiotics, bacon cured in-house, and bread kneaded by hand.
Appetizers:
1. Spicy Buffalo Wings ($12)
For starters, we tried the Buffalo Wings and boy, did it awaken our raging appetites!
Less sweet and more flavourful than typical Buffalo wings, these wings packed a mouthful with their aromatic combination of spices – no fewer than 20 different spices were used.
[caption id="attachment_18049" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
Dayumm, hot WILE (Wings I’d Love to Eat)[/caption]
The kick of chilli was spicy enough to whet our palates just right, and to our relief, not enough to make us sweat our pores off.
The lime juice contained in the marinade added a refreshing, zesty tang to the wings, to which we give two thumbs up.
After being marinated, the wings are slow-cooked for approximately 5 hours to render the meat tender, then fried till crisp.
2. Slider trio: Grilled Haloumi, Cherry Tomatoes & Onion Jam ($13)
Their slider trio comes with a choice of Grilled Haloumi with Onion Jam & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, or Pulled Pork with White Slaw & Homemade Barbeque Sauce.
Safe to say, we enjoyed every bite, right down to the bread buns lovingly kneaded and baked in-house daily.
The salty umami flavour of the grilled haloumi gave a boost to the rest of the ingredients, while its faint hint of milkiness gently awakened our tastebuds.
[caption id="attachment_18051" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
Haloumi grilled to golden perfection[/caption]
At the same time, the roasted cherry tomatoes went to work in the texture department as they burst readily with a bite, releasing juicy tomato-ey goodness in an obscenely extravagant fashion.
Alongside all that hullabaloo, the onion jam served as a great accompaniment. Ever so tart and fruity, it gave the slider a final polish before it went sliding down our throats.
Mains:
1. Blackened Grass-fed Sirloin, Colombian-style Chimichurri & Olive Oil Mash ($24.50)
We took a bite and imagined ourselves dining on green pastures roaming with cows – that’s how good it was, we’re not kidding.
Cooked to medium and artfully charred on the outside, the beef was tender with a firm bite and a clean, meaty flavour.
[caption id="attachment_18053" align="alignnone" width="698"]
Look at that delectable pink centre[/caption]
This was complemented by the refreshing Colombian-style chimichurri which gave the dish a refreshing twist.
Beneath the sirloin steak, lay a bed of silky smooth mash decadently flavoured with truffle oil – talk about hidden treasures, now you’ll get to taste it too.
2. Southern Indian Style Hand-Cut Pappardelle with Prawns, Coconut Milk & Curry Leaves ($19.50)
This was, in short, the best part of our night!
The broad, flat pasta noodles were hand-made and hand-cut by the chef himself, cooked to al dente perfection with a lovely springy bite.
Tossed in a generous amount of creamy coconut sauce, its bold curry fragrance hit us from across the café.
[caption id="attachment_18054" align="alignnone" width="698"]
Golden af, my eyes hurt but my mouth waters[/caption]
Aromatic curry leaves were sprinkled atop the pasta to complete the picture of perfection.
We would love to say that it was delicious, but that wouldn’t do it sufficient justice.
3. Texas Style Burger with Overnight Smoked Brisket, White Slaw, Dijon, Gherkins, BBQ Sauce & Hand Cut Wedges ($26.50)
The best burgers are those overflowing with messy goodness and outrageously ridiculous proportions, as this one has taught us.
It gave new meaning to the phrase “a tall order”, as it was so chock full of smoked beef strips and creamy slaw that we couldn’t get it into our mouths all at once.
[caption id="attachment_18056" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
More stacked than you, bro[/caption]
The beef brisket was tender and finely-sliced, with a prominent smoky aroma it had acquired from being thoroughly infused with fragrant woodsmoke.
Paired with a soft burger bun freshly kneaded and baked that very day, there was absolutely nothing to gripe about.
For potato and truffle lovers, the burger comes with hand-cut wedges and a velvety truffle dip to pacify your cravings.
Dessert:
Churros with Salted Caramel & Chocolate Sauce ($10)
Crisp on the outside and doughy soft on the inside, this is exactly what we call good churros, no?
The dark chocolate sauce magically transformed the sweet choux pastry into a wand of bittersweet devilry.
Our personal favourite was the combination of the churros and the salted caramel sauce. The latter was ooey, gooey and very much like a more buttery version of melted toffee.
We went away utterly convinced that some friendships are meant to be. Crispy, fluffy churros and rich sticky caramel are gonna be BFFs for life.
Our ambassador, Valerie, visited Sarnies too! Here’s her experience:

By night’s end, we wound up with delicious grubby fingers, food-full bellies, and our belts two notches looser. If you’re keen on wholesome eating which tastes as good as sin, come grab some grub at Sarnies!

As interesting as these two words – Poke Bowl – might sound, it is essentially a raw fish salad.
At A Poke Theory, they serve fresh, marinated cuts of salmon and tuna with a base of either their Signature Sushi Rice, brown rice, lemon herb quinoa or romaine lettuce. It is then topped off with a mix of toppings such as avocadoes, roasted cashews and furikake.
Finally, a salad that isn’t boring.

Lean Bento With 5 outlets in the CBD area, they are the perfect choice for those who’d like to eat clean and good food. What got our attention though, is their offering of soba salads with interesting Japanese inspired dressings like yuzu, teriyaki and sesame. Here’s a meatless soba salad with sesame sauce and wakame. So light and refreshing, your body will thank you for it! WHEAT Baumkuchen A little cafe located in the Telok Ayer district, Sarnies serves up some pretty mean sandwiches. But what really caught our attention was the Cocowhip. It’s like a froyo, but not so much like one. Made with only coconut water, vegan stabilisers and organic bio-fermented coconut, this frozen dessert is vegan, gluten and dairy free. Try their Cocowhip Breakfast Bowl. It’s creamy and delicious Cocowhip topped with a fruit salad and a medley of nuts & gogi berries. We won’t say no to healthy and delicious “ice-cream”. Sarnies Each of these bowls have been concocted with goodness in mind so you can indulge in them without feeling guilty. Sprout offers a range of salads, incorporating flavours from different cuisines.
