Gayatri, Boon Tat Street

Fish-head curry, with vegatable curries, yoghurt, rice and papadams.

This is a Singaporean delicacy, which seems to be one of the most avoided dishes by westerners (and even some locals). Generally, its a very delicious dish (if you ignore the fish eye staring at you).


I thought I better include a little bit of a close up. Its a big fish, with a lot of meat at the neck. My favourite (but not Hanna's) is the cheeks, and around the inside of the jaw!


This restaurant, just around the corner from my office, and about a 10 minute walk from home was until tonight one of our favourites, but it seems the quality at night isn't quite as good as during lunchtime. We have a sneaking suspicion that the fish may have been frozen... it just wasn't as nice as normal.

Mei Heong Yuan Desserts, Chinatown

This represents the first of hopefully many posts of the food we're enjoying here in Singapore and around Asia. Its an opportunity to share our favourite food experiences, as well as a good excuse to use our camera.

This first one comes from Mei Heong Yuan, in Temple Street. Its always packed, and we've wanted to try the local deserts for ages.

(Its the little place in the front left corner of this picture)

Clockwise from top, Mango, Pomelo and Sago pudding, Walnut pasts, Black Sesame paste, and in the centre, Yam cakes. Total price S$8.


Yum :)
