Visited this place once, I am coming back again next time. The fried pegion is great. One that is rarely ever good tasting, they nailed it.

SkyAvenue
Old Shanghai Restaurant & Bar at SkyAvenue specialises in Shanghai-style crispy grilled fish, a dish that has earned a devoted following for its perfect contrast of crunchy skin and tender, flaky flesh drenched in savoury sauce. The restaurant channels the nostalgic charm of old Shanghai through its décor and atmosphere, creating a warm, convivial setting ideal for gathering with friends. Diners can choose from a variety of flavour bases for the grilled fish, including spicy, garlic, and pickled vegetable options.
The menu extends to other Chinese comfort dishes, stir-fried vegetables, and bar snacks that pair well with the relaxed, slightly retro ambience. Group-friendly portions and sharing platters make it a popular choice for evening meals, and the bar selection complements the food with beers and other beverages. The casual pricing makes it accessible without sacrificing flavour or portion size.
For a taste of old Shanghai's vibrant street food culture served mountain-side, Old Shanghai delivers with crunch and character. It is crispy, saucy, and thoroughly satisfying.

This Chinese grill fish restaurant delivers an authentic and satisfying experience. The fish was very freshtender, moist, and full of flavour. With ingredients sourced directly from China, the seasoning had a genuine, bold Chinese taste.
Jia Jian Foong
The food is delicious and the quality of ingredients are fresh. Most importantly the set meal is very worth it. For a set of grilled fish priced at $268 is very attractive. 3 to 4 persons can share the set. I strongly recommend this restaurant to people who like hotpot and fish.

Ordered the mala sichuan spicy grilled fish. Portion was generous. Fish was fresh and meaty! Service was good too! Staff Xiao Ying was nice and she took care of our table. Even came free of deep fried fish cake for us. Thank you Recommended to visit again.

Try the recommended sour and spicy fish. The fish is deep-fried to perfection, giving it an extra crispy texture that pairs beautifully with its bold, tangy flavors. Absolutely delicious!
