If you’ve been craving fish and chips that hit all the right spots, drop everything and head to Lad & Dad at Wisma Cosway, Kuala Lumpur. This Muslim-friendly gem from Singapore is now making waves in KL—and trust us, it’s more than just a plate of fried fish.
Let’s talk batter. It’s golden, it’s crisp, and it audibly crunches when you bite in. But the best part? It doesn’t feel greasy. The haddock stays juicy inside, wrapped in a light, airy coat that tastes like it came straight from a British seaside town (with a KL twist!). Can’t decide between fish types? Go for the perch if you prefer something a little more tender.
And those chips? You get to choose between thick-cut or thin. Thick ones are fluffy and perfect for dipping, while the thin ones add that addictive salty crunch. Oh—and the sides? The gherkin tartar sauce brings zingy magic, the mushy peas are surprisingly comforting, and the house-made lemonade is the refresher you didn’t know you needed.
It’s simple, honest food done incredibly well. There’s no over-complication here. Just warm, flaky fish, potatoes, and the kind of satisfaction that makes you want to bring a friend (or five) the next time.
Come hungry. Leave happy. And maybe skip breakfast next time—you’ll want space for every bite.
