An unexpected Outing^^

This was kinda an impromptu gathering where it was supposed to be a whole group of me and my friends but, in the end just came down to just me, selina & 'mother' hehe;p
The occasion was basically 'mother' got a nice windfall(well can't really call it that, but it just sound nice^^) and she wanted to treat all of us to good fish head curry^^ Do I hear some people drooling hehe;p

So, we headed over to Juroung west where there's this Kopitiam stall that is well known for their fish head curry and might I add, I was kinda curious to find out how they make this curry on the island^^

Turns out I was pleasently surprised with the curry as featured below:

Honestly, I've yet to try out fish head curry made with a combination of milk(coconut & evaporated milk), I was sooo taken aback with the clever usage of the milks as it provided a nice silky texture and also a play on the palate as you could feel the milk soilds, those that has been refined and coagulated with the gelatin found in the fish head. Not only that I was blown away with the usage of pineapple as an acid where it impart more of a bite instead of the usual runny gravy that you usually find with this dish^^

I can still feel the texture of the curry gravy on my tongue, and the fish head was cooked just right, it was not so overdone and the cheeks were attacked by me first hehe;p Sorry Selina & 'mother' but the cheeks were the most wonderfully moist and tender part of the head^^ And still drooling for more^^



Well we did have a food spread of a many different varieties of food, but I must say the curry takes the cake so I won't bore anyone with details of the so-so food stuffss^^

And another discovery was that Selina ordered something which was very intriguing... and from what she told me this was a dish which the Hakka contingent of the Chinese dialect have on Chinese New Year (yes, if your all still wondering, I'm still in Chinese New Year mode hehe;p). The irony of it was that she's not Hakka, instead she's from the Fukien Dialect - Surprise, Surprise!!



The interesting thing about this dish is that in order to eat it, you need to pour tea soup over it and mix it all up and voila, a healthy vegan dish on its own for you to fill your tummy^^ I'm still uncertain or rather, I've forgotten what this dish is called, so I'll have to ask Selian whats it called again;)
