About This Dish
Sup Kepala Ikan at Warung Pak Mat Pulau Pisang is an iconic dish that has been the talk of Kota Bharu, Kelantan for over a decade. This soup is prepared with great patience and care — large fresh fish heads are slow-cooked in a rich broth seasoned with a carefully selected blend of authentic Kelantanese spices.
What makes this soup extraordinary is its perfectly balanced flavour — the natural tanginess of the broth, a gentle spice from the aromatics, the natural sweetness of the fresh fish, and the fragrant aroma of lemongrass and lime that stimulates the appetite. Every bowl is served piping hot with steamed white rice.
