Kao Ge Yu

Located in the heart of East Village, Kao Ge Yu is a Chinese Seafood Restaurant that offers an immersive dining experience with signature-flavoured grilled fish, classic snacks, sides and refreshing drinks.

The restaurant offers a cozy ambiance with cute fish lanterns hanging from the ceiling and if you notice the tiles of the counters were featuring the scales of the fish.

They also have wooden stick games like this for fun. Try your luck and pick the stick.

The Golden Pumpkin Pie was served in a plate of 5. The exterior of the pie was covered by lots of sesame seeds. While the interior texture was more of a sweet and savoury mochi ball.

We didn't get to taste the pumpkin flavour though. If you enjoy Mochi, you will definitely like this.

The Mouth Watering Chicken was generous in portion and was served chilled and tender. The dish was topped with garlic, sesame seeds, peanuts, spring onions and chilli oil. It is appetizing and best for sharing.

The spicy level was still acceptable for us and yes, tantalizing to our palattes.

Here comes the starring dish of the meal.

Grilled fish Pot

For the non-spicy options, we were recommended to have Tomato or Garlic flavour Grilled Fish. We ordered the big Linbo Fish and added items like Luncheon Meat, Instant Noodle, Prawns and Oyster Mushrooms. The set is of quality and the portion suits 2-3 pax.

Although we saw that a lot of garlic had been added, it was not as garlicky as I thought. It had balanced out the sweetness of the fish well as well as the savoury soup base which we enjoyed drenching on our bowl of white rice.

Ingredients in the pot had soaked up the flavours of the broth and were yummy.
