Fish Head Curry

HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE LOCAL FOOD

One of the country’s most iconic dishes, it aptly represents Singapore’s multicultural tradition. There are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Peranakan (Straits-born people of Chinese and Malay/ Indonesian heritage) versions, with each ethnic group making subtle variations to the curry sauce.

Some mix in tamarind for a touch of sourness, others add coconut milk for a creamier texture, and pineapple is sometimes added for a dash of fruitiness to the gravy. The one similarity though is the use of the head of red snapper, along with a mix of vegetables, such as okra (lady’s fingers) and eggplant. From S$25 per serving.
