Mondays don’t always have to suck. Brighten up your Monday with good food, like this here plate of Herb Grilled Fish ($8 nett) from Holy Grill in Old Airport Hawker Centre. The food is decent, but the real reason why you’re here is for the humongous portions. Yes, this is a bigger than average plate, and the fish fillet is too big for it.⠀
⠀
The dory fish fillet is grilled expertly, sporting a decent char on both sides, and the fish flesh is flaky & moister than an oyster. However, the texture is way too soft for my liking, but it’s great if you don’t feel like chewing your food. The herb sauce definitely needs more herbs, and perhaps I should’ve ordered the cajun grilled fish for a fish dish with punchier flavours.⠀
⠀
However, Holy Grill’s extensive selection of sides are the real winner here. Their baked potato is absolutely drowning in a deluge of melted butter & bacon bits, while their light, refreshing coleslaw is the perfect follow up to hoover up all that artery clogging buttery goodness from the whole spud.⠀

While it ain’t the flavours that keep me coming back, the titanic portions & the splendid sides from Holy Grill have me saying ‘Holy Moly!’
