MANILA -- Fish & Co, The Bistro Group’s family seafood restaurant, recently launched its new look along with new additions to its menu.

Originally a family chain from Singapore, Fish & Co now has branches in 10 countries, including the Philippines, where it has restaurants at the SM Mall of Asia, TriNoma, Uptown Mall, and Venice Grand Canal Mall.

The restaurant's new look and dishes are patterned after the ones in Singapore.

“We wanted to sync and pattern the look after the restaurants in Singapore. The look used to be full of nautical whites, yellows, and blues. We’d like to think of the new look as contemporary nautical,” explained Fish & Co marketing officer Anna Sadang.

Where the old design felt enclosed, the new interiors are open and airy. Nautical symbols and a compass rose are used in murals painted over bare concrete.

Along with the fresh interiors, nine dishes were added to the menu earlier this year. Here's a sample of what’s new on the menu:

It’s not just about fish and seafood: Singapore Chicken is a recipe straight from the mother franchise’s menu. Fried chicken, Hainenese ginger sauce, and chicken rice is a great dish for non-seafood eating guests. Photo by author
