1. Yu Cun Curry Fish Head

Yu Cun Curry Fish Head is a popular zi char restaurant that’s been around since 2014. In December 2024, they opened a second outlet in Bugis at Sultan Gate, following their first location in Tai Seng. FYI, this restaurant offers huge tables that cater to big groups, so you can consider them for your upcoming Chinese New Year gatherings.

Our favourite dish was, to no surprise, the Royal Flush Seafood Curry Fish Head Pot ($55.90++). It came with fresh fish, huge prawns, chewy squid, beancurd skin and more. The rich curry was enjoyable, and the spice level was just nice when paired with a bowl of rice. We also recommend getting the Flaming Red Wine Pork Ribs ($22.90++), torched right in front of you for an extra caramelised flavour.
