Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

Rolly-poly fish heads. Fish heads, fish heads. Eat them up, yum!

Okay, I don’t personally know about the “yum” part of that famous chorus. But, I do know one thing.

Many Singaporeans enjoy eating fish heads.

This delectable ingredient finds its way into soups, curries and other regional specialties. While this feels completely foreign to me, I’m told it’s quite delicious. And, people who discard the head actually waste the best tasting part of the fish.

I’m not making this up. Reliable sources tell me this.

Reliable sources.

    Every entry you write about singapore hints at negativity or is critical with your uncultured judgement. For once why don’t you embrace the culture you’re living in instead of trying to compare it to what you think is normal?
