Fish Head Curry Pinoy Style
Fish Head Curry Pinoy Style. Fish head curry is one of the more popular dish in most of our Asian neighbors. Some of the best I have eaten are the Fish head curry from Singapore and Malaysia. Those fish head curries use the full dose of curry spices which most of the Pinoy will find very strong, hot and spicy. Our versions of curry are super mild and most are even on the sweet side. Never the less Pinoy curries will always be one of my favorite Pinoy dish. Click the link below for recipes of Pinoy curry dishes that we had in the archives.
