A reminder at Saturday birthday dinner - Spicy Fish opened in Glen Waverley last week.  Had been looking forward to trying it out  :-)

Last night's menu:

Steamed dumplings
Spicy couple:  cold appetiser of ox tongue & tripe
Chilli chitterlings: chitterlings dry fried with chilli, szechuan chilli & peanuts
Snow pea leaves in spring onion sauce

Definitely worth a second visit for the range of new dishes on offer..  VERY spicy (most dishes were half chilli by volume - if not more!)  and rather oily (in the dishes we chose)..  But, tasty.  Also friendly, fun waiters and noticeably hospitable managers - quite unusual in Asian spots hehe..

Negatives - snow pea leaves were much too old, and tea was much too cold. 

Overall not bad for a restaurant in its first five days of operation - consistently good food, quickly served; friendly and approachable service, good vibe.  Definitely not in the same price range as Bob's kitchen across the road, but a strong alternative for a special, fun night out. We're going back to try dishes recommended by the waiter from the photo specials menu - beancurd, fish hotpot and steamed fish. 

Name: Spicy Fish
Address:  Kings Way, Glen Waverley (opposite Century City Walk cinema)
Comments:  avoid if not an enthusiastic fan of chilli, or don't bring friends who aren't fans either.  Otherwise order very carefully - but why bother coming anyway?
