Muthu's Curry Fish Head @ Suntec City

One of my favorite foods is a good Indian-style Curry Fish Head - with banana leaf rice. If you're reading this and you're from Kota Kinabalu, chances are you'd have probably eaten Krishna's Fish Head at least once. Surprisingly, I haven't really been able to find anything similarly delicious outside of KK, so I'm always on the lookout for a fresh head served in a huge bowl of fragrant curry.

One place I've managed to find that serves a pretty mean Fish Head is over at Muthu's Curry Restaurant. Free flow papadum and vegetables and white / biryani rice on banana leaf comes at $3 / $4 per person.


The fish head itself comes in three prices - SGD20, SGD25 and SGD30. Strangely enough, these three price levels don't correspond to the actual size of the fish head, but instead, they correspond to how much the fish cost at the market in the morning. So on one visit three people could be satisfied with a $20 head, but on the next visit two people might still be hungry after polishing off a $25 head.


The inconsistency carries over to the cooking, too. While the curry fish head is generally pretty good, it does tend to be more delicious some days and not really that good on others.


For about $15 per person and all-you-can-eat rice & vegetables, Muthu's Curry Fish Head has been pretty high on my go-to list of restaurants whenever I'm craving some Curry.

Muthu's Curry has 3 outlets - Racecourse Road, Dempsey Hill and Suntec City.
