FISH HEAD CURRY

Last night we indulged in #9 of the Top 10 Dishes to eat in Singapore: FISH HEAD CURRY.

Now I know what you are thinking and yes, it's exactly like it sounds, a giant fish head with ridiculously bulbous eyes, swimming in an even bigger pot of Indian Curry. Guess what... it was awesome!

Aamir & Denise took us to "Little India" for the classic Fish Head Curry at one of Singapore's best known Fish Head Curry establishements, The Banana Leaf. There's you are given a giant Banana Leaf as a plate and utensils although most people eat "old school" by using their right hand as the untensil. You order your meal (we had Fish Head Curry, Vegetable Korma, Spicy Lamb and Palek Paneer), then servers come around with giant tins of Rice, Veggies & Cabbage and fill your leaf. Then the food comes and you pile that onto your leaf as well and dig in.

Now Michelle and I were both skeptical of our enjoymanet of said Fish Head Curry, I mean c'mon, it's an actual fish head and while we both enjoy seafood, we've never indulged in the delicacy of the entire head... Halibut cheeks is as far as I've gone. So when this massive bowl is placed in front of you wish a giant head looking at you, well, let's just say that the skeptisism was running high.

Denise, is a master of cutting up the head (with only a spoon) and scooping out the meat for everyone which was awesome since I've would have been lost trying to dissect that beast but once we all had our share and started to eat, I was amazed at how tasty the actual fish was. Sure you could say "anything tastes good when it's cooked in curry" but trust me, this fish was top notch, juicy, tender and so full of flavor. Michelle and I both loved it and she even ate "old school" which gave her much props from our waiter (who looked like the little pissed off guy from The 40-Year Old Virgin).

We will definitely be going back for FISH HEAD CURRY especially when my dad comes to visit next year as I am sure he will appreciate the tasty adventure. One last dish to go on the Top 10 List and once we hit that, I will share them all with you!

Fish Head Curry = Awesome!!!
