Share this with your Zi Char Kakis 🙋♀️🙋🙋♂️ A typical yet satisfying Zi Char dish, this Braised Fish Head with Bitter Gourd in Black Bean Sauce tantalises all taste buds.
The sweetness of fresh fish head, the bitter from the gourd and the umami saltiness of fermented black beans paired with delicate textures of fish and crunchy chunks of bitter gourd - the hawkers really got it right!
Not a fan of picking through fish head bones? Opt for fish fillets or slices instead. Less fuss, same goodness.
