Boys Don't Fry, Wisma Cosway

It’s Friday, we’re in love with Boys Don't Fry, bringing back fish and chips to Wisma Cosway, with butties and Brit breakfasts soon, true to the fry-up style of an English caff.

Tony returns, rearmed with his recipe of his homeland’s favourite, recalibrated with his wife - a lovesong of plump, moist perch with lighter batter, thick-cut chips, smooth mushy peas and house-mixed tartar sauce, plus the kitchen’s own pickles and lemonade.

For now, Boys Don’t Fry opens for lunch, Thursday to Saturday. Next month, it’ll start serving butty-inspired sandwiches with crispy fish or chicken sausage and eggs, plus sides of pickled eggs and baked beans - sounds just like heaven.
