Qiu Bo Curry House in JB

Because of the Good Fri weekend, there wasn't the customary jam and getting to JB before 10am on Sat morning was a breeze. And because I had been having a craving for the Muar-kind of otah (click here) and I wasn't starving (which meant that we could drive a longer distance for brunch), we decided to have brunch at a place which sold both curry fishhead and otah.

We ordered the curry fishhead for two. This is a close up of the pic. The Slog Reviews: 8/10. This curry fishhead dish is for those who like curry fishhead with a strong coconut flavor - I could smell and taste the strong coconut milk in the gravy. Although it was rather pleasant smelling still, I dread to think of how many calories there are in this dish! As for the fishhead, it was fresh enough and had as much meat as a fishhead could possibly have.

We also ordered vegetables (choice between spinach and kailan) and were pleasantly surprised that it came with 4 large juicy fresh prawns. As for the otah, although it wasn't spicy, it was thick, wet, quivery and chockful of fish meat. I would give both dishes 9/10. The cost of the three dishes below (sufficient for 2pp) was RM 44. Rice for 1 pax is RM 1 while a cup of tasty home-made lime juice is RM1.50.



Qiu Bo Curry House is located some distance after Jusco Tebrau City and up a small slope. Although there is no air-con and the restaurant is reminiscent of the 1970s Singapore coffeeshops, the restaurant is airy and clean. There are 13 tables altogether and during lunch hours, the place can get very crowded. I have to comment that the toilets here are extraordinarily clean for JB restaurant toilets but maybe that is because we were the first customers of the day.
