Fish Head Curry (Indian/Chinese)

Traditional Indian curry is given the Singaporean treatment by adding sweet flesh of fish heads, and thick chunks of tomatoes, brinjals, and ladyfingers.

The broth may be either dense and syrupy, or clear and thin, but either way, the dish is a unique winning combination of sweet, sour, spicy and salty.

Roti Prata (Indian)

Prata is cheap and delicious, and is commonly served around the clock.

It is a paper-thin multi-layered pancake made from wheat flour that is repeatedly stretched and tossed before being fried on a hot griddle.

The resulting 'flat fried croissant' is then served with curry gravy or sugar.
