Bangsar Fish Head Corner, Lucky Garden, Bangsar

Working at an area filled with Malay food has it's pros and cons.
Yes, I get to enjoy delicious Malay dishes year in year out (except during bulan ramadan), but come weekend, I'll try my best to avoid curries and sambals.
It took quite a number of months before I finally did join Gary for a fish head curry meal. It was over 2pm when we reached and I thought there will be no food left. I was so, so wrong. The place was ultra crowded, the staffs were busy scooping dishes, deep frying chicken, squids with great efficiency.
We left the ordering to Gary, though I was rather cautious- never let a hungry man order food..
Here's our fish head curry, for 4 of us. Humongous red snapper fish head- the head was larger than mine! The curry was thick and rich, predominantly sourish as I could see loads of tomatoes in our curry. Very appetising, the curry goes perfectly with white rice. The fish was fresh, the snowy white flesh was sweet and the tangy curry complemented the meat prettily.
We had some thick, fat squids..
Springy flesh, slight crisp with the flavourful batter..A good side order to accompany the curry.
End the meal with fat, juicy deep fried chicken..
Super huge chicken, I was wondering if it is really chicken? The sheer size of it seems like a cross of chicken and turkey. Hehehe. Have it when it's fresh off the hot fryer, how can it go wrong right?
Extremely stuffed by end of our meal, it costs us RM80 (inclusive of rice, vegetables and many, many cups of cold drinks- it was a very warm day). Rather reasonable, I must say.
Bangsar Fish Head Corner is located at Lorong Ara Kiri 3, Lucky Garden, Bangsar.

The George and the Dragon, Bangsar

George, George, George of the Jungle, strong as he can be...
:D I just dont know why that song always pops up in my head whenever I think of George and the Dragon
Yes, not even remotely related....I should be thinking of castles, princesses and knights, no? hehehe
G and the D has been in Bangsar for a couple of years and still enjoys a steady stream of customers. I reckon its a good place to hang out after work and on weekends, for some cold beer and greasy pub fare to fill the stomach.
Some deep fried onion rings and calamaris (RM14) while waiting for the mains..
The onion rings were cut thickly and sweet, the calamaris were just so so.
The ubiquitous Fish and Chips(RM20)
Ultra crisp (some parts were hard) beer batter with juicy fish meat. Hearty portion, I liked the thick chips too, well, as usual, I'm a sucker for anything potato. The peas looks artificial green though, have definitely tasted better version.
Shepherd's pie (RM28)..
The filling of ground mutton, carrots, peas and onions were thickish, which served well for the somewhat dry baked mash. Was an ok dish.
Glaced ham with mash and cabbage..
This was tasty; the ham was compact, but texture was springy, the cream sauce goes wonderfully with the mash and cabbage. Slightly rich after a few bites, good to share for a taste, not for the full portion.

The George and Dragon is located at Lot G130, Ground Floor, Bangsar Shopping Centre, 85 Jalan Maarof, Bukit Bandar Raya.
