Riverside Grilled Fish 江边城外
Riverside Grilled Fish is a Chinese restaurant near the water that prepares whole fish on a grill with spicy sauces and seasonings. The space features simple wooden tables and chairs, with the aroma of grilled fish and spices filling the air.
The restaurant originated from a grilled fish tradition in Wushan, China, and was established in Beijing before opening its first location outside China in Singapore. The founders were inspired by local eating customs centered on whole grilled fish with spicy sauces.
The name reflects its riverside setting and connection to water in Chinese culinary tradition. Visitors can observe locals sharing dishes family-style and enjoying the social ritual of gathering around grilled fish, a tradition rooted in Chinese cooking customs.
The restaurant is easy to locate and stays open late into the evening, often until 10 pm, especially on weekends. Staff are patient in explaining spice levels and can help you choose among Red Tilapia, Sea Bass, Black Pomfret, or Garoupa based on your preferences.
The signature Mala grilled fish uses a blend of Sichuan peppercorns and chili that creates a tingling and burning sensation, quite different from regular spicy food. This intense flavor experience surprises first-time visitors but becomes a favorite for those who love bold tastes.
