spicy black bean sauce-song fish head 松鱼头 – 17.9.2016

i was at sheng shiong the other day & bought one whole song fish head松鱼头 for S$8.90. usually it is S$6.90 for 1/2 at sheng shiong so i don’t buy unless i go to chinatown market where they sell S$8 for one fish head.

i then heat up a bit & the sauce became slight clumpy. i addd to the fish & steamed for 13mins in the steam oven.

fish was excellent as it was very fresh & the sauce was just perfect, spicy, tangy, not too sweet.

btw, this was also how hk street chun kee at commonwealth crescent food centre make their fish head.

after trying the both watery & pasty sauce, i decided that the pasty sauce is the best preparation.  🙂
