Serves Fish Head Curry with coconut milk and spices, described as one of the greatest Malay curries. It uses fresh Ikan Jenahak (snapper) from the local fishing village. The curry is unbelievably flavorful, with perfect tanginess, richness, fat/oil from coconut milk, and spices. The fish melts in your mouth, guaranteed fresh. Okra, Vietnamese coriander, and torch ginger flower add a herbal citrusy fragrance. The clay pot keeps the curry boiling hot.
