Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Bukit Ho Swee Charcoal Curry Fish Head in Yishun is primarily known for its Claypot Curry Fish Head, often featuring red snapper.

Reviewers consistently praise the curry gravy for being 'gao' (rich) and flavourful without being overly coconut-heavy.

The dish is noted for its generous portions of tau kee and vegetables like brinjal, lady's fingers, and cabbage.

The fish itself is generally described as fresh, with the fish tail option being a safer bet for those avoiding bones, priced around $35.

Beyond the fish head, the Dried Shrimp French Beans receive positive mentions for being crunchy and flavourful, though some found them salty.

The Oyster Fried Omelette is also highlighted as a good accompaniment.

However, some dishes like the Cereal Prawns have been criticised for being overly sweet, and the Mei Cai Kou Rou for having finely diced preserved vegetables.

Wait times for food can be significant, with some reporting 25-40 minutes, especially during dinner service transitions.

We'd recommend this for groups of 3-4 to share the curry fish head, and to visit outside of peak meal times to avoid delays.

It's a reliable option for a hearty curry fish head, but manage expectations for other zi char dishes.

What customers say

Bukit Ho Swee Charcoal Curry Fish Head at Yishun receives mixed but generally positive feedback, with many praising the flavorful and fresh Claypot Curry Fish Head/Tail, often highlighting the 'gao' gravy and abundance of ingredients like 'fu chok' and vegetables.

However, some dishes like the Hor Fun, dried shrimp french beans, and cereal prawn have been criticized for being too salty or sweet, and there are occasional complaints about long waiting times, especially for the signature curry dishes, and inconsistencies in dish preparation like the 'Dao Gi' in the curry fish head.

Despite these issues, many customers express willingness to return due to the overall quality of the curry and other well-received zi char items.

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…
