Curry fish head and steamboat specialist at Old Airport Road Food Centre.
Yi Lu Fa at Old Airport Road Food Centre is a hearty, no-frills stall specialising in two of Singapore's most satisfying communal dishes: curry fish head and steamboat. The curry fish head arrives in a generous portion, with a whole fish head swimming in a rich, vibrant curry sauce that balances the heat of chilli with the sweetness of coconut milk and the tanginess of tamarind. Vegetables such as okra and brinjal soak up the curry, becoming flavourful accompaniments that are almost as prized as the fish itself. The steamboat option provides an interactive dining experience where diners cook fresh ingredients in a bubbling pot of broth at the table. The Old Airport Road Food Centre location places Yi Lu Fa within one of Singapore's most celebrated hawker centres, where its robust, family-style portions draw groups seeking a shared meal that goes beyond individual plates. The stall caters to those who appreciate the convivial nature of communal dining, where the act of sharing a large curry fish head or gathering around a steaming pot creates bonds over food. Affordable pricing ensures that these generous portions remain accessible, making Yi Lu Fa a popular choice for family dinners and group gatherings. Find Yi Lu Fa at 51 Old Airport Road, #01-168, Singapore 390051. Call 9894 9781 for orders and gather your crew for a curry fish head feast that brings everyone to the table.Operating Hours
