However, at this small joint called Gerai Seong Kee, you can get a single serving of fish head curry which consists of a lavish portion. The curry itself contain garoupa head, tofu, long beans, and cabbage. Served in ceramic bowls, this dish features hints of spices such as turmeric and galangal that balances very well with a more aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and fenugreek. And of course, no fish head curry is complete without a slight dash of tamarind to add some sourness into the dish.

    They have limited tables, so do come early.

    Things to expect

    Nice and friendly staffs.

    Have you ever tried Nyonya-styled fish head curry? At Tanjung Bungah Restaurant, you can spoil yourself with all the goodness of fish head curry cooked in the Nyonya style cuisine. Lemongrass, turmeric, torch ginger, shallots, and garlic are among the spices used to produce a thick curry gravy. Served in a hot claypot, long beans, lady fingers, round brinjals, cabbage and tofu are stuffed in the pot to add flavours and colours to the dish.

    What once started as a bare basics stall in Brickfields back in 1969, today is an imposing and elegant establishment at Oasis Ara Damansara. Embellished with exposed brick walls, buoyant colours and posh ornaments, the interior definitely sidesteps from other Indian restaurants out there. The menu comprises a medley of North and South Indian dishes, therefore be spoilt with choices but never leave without trying out their signature curry fish head. Generously portioned, the curry is loaded with eggplants, okras, long beans and a huge portion of fresh fish head. The balance of flavours are spot-on and the fish flakes off the bone with ease, definitely worth ordering extra rice to mop the bowl of spicy goodness clean. Also, a list of wines just notch the flavours a degree further. 

    Tips

    They do have set lunches too. Check out their Facebook page
