My love relationship with ocean curry started during my audit days while i was working in town. Its a place i head to for curry fish head after work or a quick economical rice during peak lunch hour. Today, it still remains one of my favourite places i will go to for curry fish head.
On this visit there, i noticed quite a number of patrons ordered claypot hokkien mee. Though the review of this dish online has been less than favourable. I am still keen to try out this dish next time.
Dinner tonight is economical rice with the following dishes: Rendang Mutton, Otah, Stir-fry vegetable, Pork cutlet and giant prawns. Complementing the food is the curry sauce used for the curry fish head which inclined towards sourish. This curry sauce though be a perfect for the curry fish head, okra and brinjal but doesn't stand out on its own.
The Rendang Mutton ($6) is SO all time favourite and still the most distinctive of all the dishes is delicious mix of curry and lemongrass. However, today it is laced with gaminess from the mutton.
Rated: 7/10
My personal favourite is the self made otah (S$4.5) where the otah is soft and moist with generous slices of fish meat.
Rated: 6.5/10
Garlic stir-fry vegetable (S$3) is a normal dish you can get at any economical rice stall.
Rated: 5/10
Pork cutlet (S$6) is well flavoured, tender and easy to chew.
Rated:5.5/10
The most expensive dish and the least value for money is the huge prawns (S$9). It is not well cooked with the meat sticking to the shell. Due to the sheer size of the prawn, the intenstines of the prawn is not removed and left a sandy bad after taste when eaten.
Rated: 3/10
The prices listed here is for 3 pax.
