Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Cheong Hin 沙登咖哩/上汤蒸 鱼头

It's the weekends again and this round my cousin suggested a new restaurant for dinner. So we ended up having our dinner at Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Cheong Hin for a change.


Specialty in the restaurant.



White rice kept in a plastic container such as this on every table.


The place is packed by dinner time so it's always good to come early or a bit later when the crowds leave. We waited for more than 45 minutes for the first dish to be served. We were all hungry and we pretty much finish up the veggie (potato leaf) as soon as it was served. 


For a restaurant with the name "Kari Kepala Ikan", you would have guessed that we would order fish head curry. Unfortunately most of us were on a strict diet which we are not allow to have anything spicy or curry so my cousin ended up ordering steamed fish instead. Actually am glad that my cousin ordered this dish cause the fish is really fresh and the sauce is super tasty. Most of us mixed the rice with the sauce. The only complain was that the fish is really small. 


Next came their 'Home Made Pork'. The pork is cooked with potato...which we find it unusual. Surpringsly it's tasty and the meat is tender.


Another dish of healthy veggies for us. Veggie cooked with garlic. 


Herbal wrapped Kampung chicken, a rather small bird for 9 pax, but full of flavor and strong herbal taste. Cooked until tender and practically falling off the bone, this chicken dish gets our thumbs up.


Foo Yong egg...cooked in an omelette style.


Last dish is steamed prawn with chinese wine and white egg. One could smell the wine of this dish when served. The prawn is really fresh, but I didn't quite like the strong taste of the wine. My parents and my cousin seems to enjoy this dish a lot.


After the end of the meal, I only find myself half satisfied....partly the food that were served are in small portion. Don't let the pictures fool you, the dishes are quite small for 9 people. I practically have to scoop more rice to my plate (twice) to fill up my tummy. We have wanted to order more dishes but the person who took our order advised that it will be too much for us and was afraid that we can't finish. All in all, the food here is really good.
