The Singapore
fish head curry is a local creation that bears both Indian
and Chinese cuisine characteristics. Those who consider
themselves true ‘connoisseurs’ of the dish – often comprising
a single fish head from a large garoupa or snapper – will
gladly devote themselves to eating everything on the fish
head, including the eye balls and lip. Served in spicy gravy
made from curry powder, fresh whole tomatoes, belachan,
tamarind and so forth, with just the right hints of sweetness
balanced against tanginess, the meat from the fish head
should have an exceedingly smooth texture and taste. Okra
and brinjals are sometimes added into the curry as well.
A steaming bowl of white rice is also recommended to go
along with the fish head curry. |
