So that their kids can get a-head in school. Geddit? It’s two puns in one sentence! Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.

Chili Padi’s Assam fish head ($21.80++) is no joke however. The meaty fish head and a whole assortment of vegetables are soaking luxuriantly in the rich, slightly sour and superbly satisfying assam gravy. The fish is fresh and the perfectly cooked flesh is remarkably firm and moist. The spice is just at the right level to get you a little hot and bothered under the collar without obfuscating any of the other flavor profiles in the clay pot.

With fish like this, Chili Padi is certainly getting a-head in terms of making gravy.
