Quite a few restaurants in Hong Kong serve fish and chips, but there's only one bona fide fish and chip shop - The Chippy. It claims to serve 'Hong Kong's finest fish and chips', with some justification, particularly in the case of the chips.
These are hand cut and undergo a complicated multistep preparation which gives a satisfying outer crispness and inner softness.
Something similar could be said of the contrast between the shell provided by the house's own beer batter and the tender cod, sole, halibut, or plaice inside, all of which, we are assured by the management, are 'sustainably harvested in the North Atlantic and flown in fresh just for us'.
Fish cakes, fish bites and 'The Chippy Fishburger' are also available.
Those who prefer meat will be at home here. You can have bangers with chips or mash, the pies are all home-made, and you can also get burgers, black pudding, chicken schnitzel and Danish bacon or English sausage sandwiches.
Like many fish and chip shops in Britain, The Chippy doubles as a cafe, and offers an all day breakfast with the usual 'Full English' elements sometimes referred to as 'a heart attack on a plate'.
