Food Hall Fish and Chips

I used to think that food courts were something associated with asian societies but I guess I was wrong. In Launceston we have what we call Food Hall! Located along Brisbane Street, just after Village Cinema, it serves a variety of food there. You can choose from western grill to thai to chinese and indian. Of course, who will forget an angmo classic... Fish and chips!

Tasmania is supposed to be known for their seafood by the way, they export a lot of their produce. And this stall supports the local industry. So gotta try something right? Angmo land must eat some ang mo food. Well, I didn't exactly settle for fish and chips because the seafood platter caught my eye.

When you order food here, they give you a queue number. So you wait around for your number to be called and you go collect your food. Seafood platter looked pretty good when they served it. Came with a large portion of fries and salad and coleslaw. You also get stuff like calamari rings, breaded scallop, breaded prawns and fish.

Well can't determine how fresh the seafood is if it's deep fried, but its good and sinful man! The fish was a thick cut, the scallop even had it's roe and calamari was well... Calamari! Just note that food courts in Singapore you'd probably spend about SGD$5 or so for a meal but here it's different. The seafood platter cost me AUD$12 if I'm not wrong. At least it was satisfying. Couldn't finish the fries though, was too much for me. Lucky I had friends who helped me finish it up.
