Mean Mugged by my Dinner: Fish with Eyes

I was at first a skeptic....

Arrow is pointing to the fish eye if that helps give
you the mental picture

But I am a converted believer in the deliciousness factor of Fish Head Curry. Mata Thai is my flatmates' and my Thai version of "Central Perk" just across the street from our flat in B-Shack. My flatmates are so good to me and have introduced me to a lot of local food and sayings (They are still trying get me to correctly say "Good morning" in Mandarin for our neighbors... maybe by the end of the year #slowlearner) but this was one thing they insisted I try. *Note: The heads of a lot of things are still intact when cooking/eating in Singapore so you should be prepared to get mean-mugged by your dinner before eating it.  

Me the first time I tried Fish Head Curry at Mata Thai:

(Me actually the first time I tried Fish Head Curry) Pret-ty close.
Also, it is an honor to be offered the fish eye to eat and the offer is never supposed to be turned down (out of respect) so the threat in our apartment is imminent, "Will you clean the bathroom...don't make me offer you the fish eye." We even got to take my sweet mom there when she came for a visit with our Mata Thai auntie who always gets us the best seat #bestfriends although I don't think it received as rave reviews from Anne. Nonetheless, the yum factor is off the charts and should you come eat dinner with me, rest assured, I'll offer you the eye! ;)
