Asia is renowned for hot and spicy food that you can never find in any western country. And Penang being the street food capital of Malaysia has it all! Curry fish head (咖喱鱼头) is one of Malaysian's favorite delicacies that is enjoyed by people of all races. You can find curry cooked in Indian, Malay or Chinese style; all with their own unique flavour.
Close to one of the most famous tourist attraction of Penang; the Kek Lok Si Temple is a little stall located in the food court section of Air Itam market. It is a mixture of Chinese and Indian curry that makes it unique around this area.
Besides fish head, you will also have lady fingers and tomatoes. Once the dish is cooked, it is garnished with sliced onions and mint leaves as the final touch. The fish head is usually steamed before being cooked in the aroma packed curry soup.
The soup is rich in flavour with all the spices that have been tossed in. And the best thing is they are not stingy with their soup. You got more curry soup than you actually need and you can take away the left over and cook your own curry fish head the next day! This is indeed value for money!
