Originally we planned to go to this place yesterday. But when we were there only then we remembered this place is closed on Tuesday.
When we were there today, the inside was full (actually there was 1 table available, but it was reserved). As we did not feel like waiting, we took the seats outside. And not before long, the 3 tables outside were also full.
The waitress showed us to the table and brought us the menu. She then asked if it was our first time here. If we were, she will ask the "chef" to recommend. Well, so when the chef came, it was't really that helpful in the recommendations, other than saying the curry fish head and curry chicken is recommended.
So as ya can see from the photos, we ordered a small curry fish head, a ngoah hiang and a vege. Total bill inclusive of drinks is $36. There's no additional service charge or GST.
Though the place was full house, it did not take too long before our food were served. I personally enjoyed the curry fish head. Loved to eat my rice with the curry. The fish head is only half a side, with lots of lady fingers and egg plant. Overall, I think the curry here is pretty good. Even when we first entered the restaurant, we were immediately invited by the smell of the curry spices! However, the next 2 dishes weren't that great. I find the ngoah hiang a bit too oily, while the vege is a bit soggy, which is not my likely. If not for these 2 disappointing dishes, I would have given the curry fish head probably a 3.5 or even a 4 star alone.
Price wise, this place is not too expensive given the location, and hopefully i will get the chance to go back to try out the curry chicken one of these days :)

Hi, saw that you've tried the Ayam Penyet Ria too, so which is better?

I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

I went to the tony roma's in singapore suntec city, the ribs is very nice & tender and the chocolate dessert is sinful! Dun like the corn soup though.

Yup, the roast pork is super nice, & it sold out very fast, the lunch hour is 1130am to 230pm and the roast pork sold out at around 1pm.

Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.

Why the food rating is only 2 stars if it's nearly the best mee rebus you've tried?
