Fish head curry - Hiang Kee Nibong Tebal

Fish head curry lunch in Nibong Tebal. My first time patronizing this restaurant.

Fish head curry with prawns. RM61

It's the type heavily dependent on curry powder. Really not my type as I prefer those made from scratch.


RM61 for this pot is rather pricey too IMO.

Curry Fish head-WK Restaurant Ulu Yam

I was in Ulu Yam at around noon time and saw this fish head curry restaurant that was already quite full. I figured it must be good so I walked in a got myself a table, probably the last two available at that time.

And I ordered fish head curry, of course!


It wasn't really my type of fish head as I prefer the more tender type of fish such as red snapper. Grouper was used in this restaurant I believe. Beside this, I also prefer the head to be whole and not cut into pieces as in this case.

I didn't really enjoy the curry gravy either because curry powder was heavily used. I prefer the type made from freshly ground curry paste. However, for RM15, you really can't complain too much. It was still quite an enjoyable meal.











Total: RM 16.30 including one hot Chinese tea.

In KL, I would go to this one.

Address:

Jalan Gurney.

Fish head curry - Ah Lye, SS19

I have been to Ah Lye Curry Fish Head a few times. Quite like the fish head curry there but it was the asam prawn that keeps me coming back from time to time! I first read about this place on EatingAsia.

Thick, creamy, fragrant fish head curry. A little mild in terms of spiciness/hotness for me but I think that's the limit for most of the customers.


Not too fond of the type of fish used. Grouper I think. A little on the tough and chewy side. I prefer red snapper and/or other fish with more tender meat.


Deep fried Lam Yu pork cutlets. This was actually our second plate. We ordered a smaller plate of this while waiting anxiously for our two other guests to arrive :P


Fried egg and onion, with a few prawns. Simple but nice.


And of course, no meal is complete without vegetable! Stir fried kailan.


Asam prawns. Big tiger prawns, deep fried and coated with thick, tangy and sweet asam sauce. My favorite!


The prawn was this big!

Kampung Attap Fish Head Curry

This was my second time to this particular outlet. After two visits, I finally concluded that this type of fish head curry just wasn't for me. I didn't like the choice of fish, nor the type of curry. The gravy was just too watery and didn't have enough punch in it.

This is not because I prefer the type with santan (coconut milk) as I enjoy both types.

chicken and vege.








The fish head curry, vege, chicken, rice, papadam and limau ice set me back by RM22.50. Not cheap. There are other outlets nearby and maybe I will check them out as well.

Location: it's just a stone's throw from Maharajalela monorail station.

Opens for lunch only.

Location: junction of Jalan Belfied and Jalan Akar

Sri Siam Fish Head Curry Chai Leng Park

This is how it looks like:


It is the "lemak" type with santan (coconut milk) in it, and just the right amount of sourness. Great!


The fish wasn't exactly the freshest but the curry gravy was great. Not as good as how I remembered it though. I seemed to remember tasting mustard seeds in the curry but not this time.


I prefer this type more than Juru Fish Head Curry. RM20 including rice and petai. I had to pay RM24 for the one in Juru, without petai!


Sri Siam is in a corner unit kopitiam, opposite the wet market in Chai Leng Park (Map at the bottom)


Nothing but bones left, as usual. I know..i am good! LOL.


Many other dishes too!

Juru Fish Head Curry

I love steamed fish and once in a while, fish head curry.

You will see this coffee shop from Jalan Juru.



The stall selling mixed rice and fish head curry is just right next to Long Choo Restoran. You won't see any Fish Head curry sign from the outside. That's because the sign is inside :D


I ordered one. The size is perfect for one Kurt.


Not sure what fish. Red snapper? The flesh was nice and tender. The curry slightly spicy and sour. Not much coconut milk in it from what I could tell.




What was left :P


I didn't eat the two pieces of chilies :D


It wasn't cheap though. RM24. Quite pricey right? Especially considering it's a small town in Juru! It's quite good though so I might go back. But I still prefer the one at Sri Siam, Chai Leng Park.

How to get there?
