| Yong's fish head curry |
While holidaying in Kuala Terengganu recently with my sister Yong, my brother in-law, MN made a special request for Y's famous mouth watering finger licking fish head curry. MN made clear to his wife, my sister, Dr S not to "meddle" in Y's cooking! MN bought a really large fleshy fresh fish from the sea. (Really, he waited for the fisherman by the sea front!) Viola, he came home all smiles with his prized catch.

Add more coconut milk, fish head and its accompanying buddies i.e. tomatoes and ladies finger. Let it simmer for a minute or two and voila, its time to feast.

Yong's fish head curry is really a perfect 10 on Acepaizah! In fact, Yong's cooking were highly addictive to her siblings and families. The fish is simply juicy and the curry is well balanced, not too spicy but full of cream-ness of the coconut milk. Remarkably scrumptious every time!
