    Lau Heong Seafood RestaurantNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Although Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant's curry fish head is pre-cooked, it still is pretty damn good. Served with a plenty of vegetables and tofu puff, the creamy and mild curry certainly does go incredibly well with rice. Also, do add on additional brinjals and tofu as it helps with soaking up the flavour. Aromatic, rich in flavour, creamy are just some of the tasting elements in Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant's curry fish head. 

    Tips

    Definitely do try out their fried chicken.

    Things to expect

    Chinese 'dai-chao' dining and limited seating.

    Restoran Woo Ng Kee is a great place for unique Chinese cuisine and of course, their signature curry fish head  as well. Unlike most places, their version of the fish head curry is slightly milder and milkier. Despite the milder finish, the spices are well mixed and incredibly balanced that even kids love them.

    The cashew nut fish head curry is Chef Ravi's own signature. The cashew nut really adds the creaminess and brings all the flavors together in the curry to form an unforgettable taste. This fish head curry is using riper fish or ikan jenahak and slow-cooked for 6 hours. It explains the texture, the taste and the aroma of this fish head curry. 

    Tips

    Their cow milk tea is great for balancing the spiciness of the curry

    The Curry Fish Head is a pot of jewel that is full of flavor and has the perfect level of spiciness. Cooked with a very fresh fish head this dish goes so well with a variety of mixed vegetables and fried tofu. We’d suggest that you should have this dish with a bowl of rice.
