What happened to their old fish fillet menu, now the taste became so much less local-friendly. Much lesser fish as well, not filling at all. Left a Terrible after taste, too much big pepper, chilli and oil. I have to go eat something else after that to rid the bad aftertaste. Terrible, not eating again.
