Zai Shun Curry Fish Head

Arrived bright and early at Jurong East to sample another Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2021 winner. Located within the Zai Shun Coffeeshop, Zai Shun Curry Fish Head is a chap chye png (Economic Mixed Vegetable Rice) stall but has a killer winner of a fish head dish.

The Curry Fish Head is their signature dish but getting a Steamed Fish Head is when their expertise and freshness is truly tested. Curry Fish Head is only available after 11am.
