I went again today and they do serve it in two pieces instead of one, but the battered crust was good today. joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929132028327934282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-39952427514302469192014-08-06T22:02:57.217+08:002014-08-06T22:02:57.217+08:00August 6, 2014.

They must have lost their chef, because what I was served up looked nothing like the picture above. The picture above looks like a bona fide order of English style fish and chips,with light gold flaky crust. <br /><br />What I was served up was two lukewarm pieces of fish covered in dark brown, tough, leathery, flexible [!] crust. The inside of the crust was white dough that obviously never even rose. <br /><br />I seriously doubt they used either baking powder, baking soda, or beer in the batter. <br /><br />Longtable's "fish and chips?"

After reading this post, me and my wife tried Longtable. Frankly speaking, we were amazed with the taste, real crunchy and beer battered as original in England. I suggest, you try the hamburger, too. We loved it.<br />Thank you for recommendation.<br />Johnjohn19noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-85734203521147972622013-06-15T20:37:50.985+08:002013-06-15T20:37:50.985+08:00Just went there today, because I was craving that ...Just went there today, because I was craving that chocolate lava cake you mentioned.

I''m sorry you didn't have the same experience as I did- I think it's important that you share your experience- restaurants can have off days but they can also drop in quality or change chefs.. We'll see if any other readers agree or disagree with us.

The worse thing you can do with fish and chips is to make them soggy on the outside and these were sooo soggy, mushy and oily...I would hesitate to recommend this place. The mushroom tagliatelle was ok, lots of heavy sauce, chicken a bit dry, but really commenting just to point out issues with the fish and chips. It's really difficult to mess up fish and chips, but this is Taipei so...<br /><br />Sorry for the bad review comment but figured it had to be done. In any case, keep up the good work, I know you will!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-39504895678930381782013-05-17T18:23:23.092+08:002013-05-17T18:23:23.092+08:00anonymous/lauren: haha! yes it's good!
