About Big Fish Small Fish Cafe (Hillion Mall)

Big Fish Small Fish (BFSF) is a casual dining concept built around fish and chips, serving the dish alongside a free-flow crisps station and a variety of signature sauces so diners can customise their meal. The brand sums up its approach as 'Eat. Drink. Play.' — positioning itself as somewhere to enjoy a fun, relaxed meal rather than just grab a quick bite.

BFSF's philosophy rests on three ideas: Freshness First, with fish sourced responsibly and prepared fresh daily; Playful & Fun, reflected in industrial-chic interiors and a vibrant atmosphere designed to feel relaxed and happy; and Community, with the brand describing itself as more than a restaurant — a place for friends and families to gather, share a meal, and create memories.

Big Fish Small Fish operates multiple locations across Singapore, with a further presence in Malaysia, and also offers franchise opportunities for those interested in opening their own outlet. The brand runs a membership/loyalty programme and lets customers reserve a table online to skip the queue.

Big Fish Small Fish: Fish & Chips With a Free-Flow Crisps Station

Big Fish Small Fish (BFSF) built its concept around one of the most familiar comfort foods around — fish and chips — but with a twist designed to make the meal feel more like an experience than a routine order.

Fish & Chips, Reimagined as an Experience

From the beginning, BFSF's mission has been to offer a fun, casual dining experience centred on fish and chips. Rather than treat the dish as a simple takeaway staple, the brand introduced a signature free-flow crisps station alongside a variety of unique sauces, letting diners customise their meal exactly how they like it. It's this small but distinctive twist — unlimited crisps, a sauce bar to experiment with — that the brand leans on to set its version of the classic dish apart.

Freshness First

BFSF is explicit that its fish is sourced responsibly and prepared fresh daily, framing this as a non-negotiable part of how the brand operates rather than a marketing line. Quality and freshness sit at the centre of the menu, from the fish itself through to the accompanying sides.

A Playful, Fun Atmosphere

The dining experience is designed around an industrial-chic interior and a vibrant atmosphere, aiming to make guests feel relaxed and happy rather than rushed. That playful energy carries through into the brand's tone — 'Eat. Drink. Play.' — and its promise that 'there's always something fishy going on' worth being part of.

Built Around Community

BFSF describes itself as more than just a restaurant: a gathering place for friends and families to share a meal and create memories together. That community focus shows up in some of its current promotions, including a Kids Meal offered on Sundays for dine-in guests, making it a straightforward option for family outings.

Current Promotions

At the time of writing, BFSF is running a $1 Oysters promotion featuring fresh Murotsu oysters imported from Japan, with no order limit for those wanting to make the most of it. Students can also flash a valid student ID to enjoy a meal for $8.50, and families can take advantage of the Sunday-only Kids Meal when dining in.

Multiple Locations, Franchise Opportunities

Big Fish Small Fish operates from multiple locations conveniently spread across Singapore, and also maintains a presence in Malaysia, with separate social media channels for each market. For anyone interested in bringing the concept to a new location themselves, the brand also offers franchise opportunities.

Booking and Membership

Customers can reserve a table online instantly to skip the queue, and BFSF also runs a membership programme for regulars looking to make the most of ongoing promotions and updates. A newsletter subscription is available too, keeping customers in the loop on the latest deals.
