November 5, 2010: Shark Paradise Fish & Chips

Shark Paradise looks similar your typical suburban fish'n'chip shop, which makes its occurrence on Smith St a footling atypical.

The card starts out real much every minute you'd await - afterwards the fish as well as chips there's burgers, Chiko rolls, dim sims as well as murphy cakes.  Then there's something nosotros would never bring discovered if it weren't for a weblog postal service from Johanna, a department headed Vegetarian Delight!  Here at that topographic point are five burgers listed, along alongside meat-free dim sims, soy nuggets, boundary rolls as well as battered tempeh.

I chose the tempeh burger ($5) alongside chips (add $1.50).  The battered tempeh is tender but unseasoned as well as a footling bland; this is counteracted good plenty past times the BBQ sauce, tomato plant as well as lettuce.  The chips were fine corner shop-style specimens - fatty as well as fluffy alongside lots of tabular array salt as well as plenty of the crispy bits I similar best.

Michael had a tempeh twine ($7.80) alongside chips (add $1.40) - hither you lot larn double tempeh as well as what looks similar double BBQ sauce, onion as well as beetroot every minute good every minute salad.

It's all highly processed as well as unrefined but it's the materials I grew upwardly with, as well as I honey it.  It's corking to run into a chippie alongside a few creative vegetarian alternatives to flake, as well as I'll sure hold out returning to slather unopen to tempeh slices inwards tartare sauce.

And if the nutrient weren't plenty to evoke unopen to nostalgia, there's likewise decades-old arcade games to see your alter into!

Edit 01/07/2011: Shark Paradise is right away closed! There's unopen to form of renovation going on inwards at that topographic point as well as then the shopfront volition hold out hosting something novel soon...
