The fish head curry is a famous Malay staple food. It is a dish where the head of an ikan merah (literally "Red fish") which is red snapper, is semi-stewed in a thick curry with assorted vegetables such as okra and brinjals and usually served with either rice.
Fish head curry normally has a rich and smooth texture with spicy and sour taste. Asam (tamarind) juice is sometimes added to the gravy to give it a sweet-sour taste (see asam fish); this variety of fish head curry normally has thinner, orange coloured gravy.
Get a taste of the delicious fish head curry at Salim Curry House in Lintas, Kak Nong is Beverly Hills Bundusan, and Krishna Curry House in Rainfield Court.
