Best Fish Head Curry in Ipoh

Up & Up Restaurant has over 30 years of heritage in Ipoh, beginning with their first outlet in Wisma Kinta on Jalan Yang Kalsom. The restaurant has an array of homecooked dishes that are cooked to savoury perfection. One of which includes their curry fish head which has a Nyonya influence on it with a good blend of spices and flavour. Served with a fresh and flaky fish head, the dish will leave you craving for more rice. 

Pakeeza Restaurant & Catering is a north-Indian restaurant that offers a series of deliciously spicy and flavourful set of dishes. This includes their bowl of well-spiced curry fish head, which has a good balance and depth of flavour that many would enjoy. Served with a generous amount of brinjal, lady's finger, tofu puff, tomatoes and of course, a fresh fish head. 

Assam House is one of the few rare halal places for a good set of curry fish head. More specifically, asam curry fish head. Served in a piping hot claypot with a good load of tofu puff and lady's finger. The curry too has a rich and robust flavour, which is extremely addictive. Slurping on the remaining soup doesn't sound so crazy after all. 

San Chai Restaurant's curry fish head has been rather well known to locals for its rich and spicy flavour. Done so with a giant portion of groupa fish and a good blend of fiery-sweet spice, the dish will require either additional water or perhaps a side of toasts. Served with a good load of lady's finger, onions, tangy tomatoes, tofu puff and a handful of mint leaves. 

Bee Gaik Dining Place is a humble and stunningly well-designed restaurant which resembles a lot to those in China. Serving a variety of homey dishes, their curry asam fish head too is well worth the try. The gravy is thick, rich and packed with a good amount of flavour. It also has a nice balance between creaminess and spiciness, which would allow kids to enjoy it too.
