Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Bukit Ho Swee Charcoal Curry Fish Head in Yishun is a popular spot, known for its charcoal-grilled curry fish head, served piping hot in a clay pot.

Reviewers consistently praise the rich, flavourful curry gravy, noting its thickness and bold curry powder taste, though some find it milder than preferred.

The dish comes with a generous amount of beancurd skin (tau kee) and is substantial enough for 3-4 people.

While the curry itself receives high marks, some feedback suggests the fish meat, particularly the fish tail, can lack deep marinade and retain a slight fishy smell when eaten alone, improving significantly with the curry.

The venue, a neighbourhood coffee shop, gets very crowded, especially before 5pm for dinner, with patrons sometimes waiting for tables.

The environment can be cramped, and some reviewers noted cleanliness issues with the floor.

Service can be inconsistent, with some staff being less accommodating than others, particularly during busy periods.

We'd recommend this for those who appreciate a strong, bold curry flavour and are prepared for a bustling, no-frills coffee shop experience.

Consider takeaway if the dining environment is a concern.

Worth the queue if you're in the area and craving a hearty curry fish head.

While the curry is generally praised for its taste and consistency, some find it milder than preferred or note that the fish itself can lack deep marination.

Curry fish head served bubbling hot in a clay pot, generously topped with heaps of crispy fried tau kee definitely the highlight. The curry itself was a bit milder than I prefer, lacking that punch of…
