Host Seth Tillman visits Malaysia Kopitiam, a Malaysian restaurant specializing in Nyonya cuisine located in Centreville, Virginia. He's greeted by Leslie and Penny Phoon who welcome him to their restaurant. Penny, the chef, shows Seth the beautiful ingredients that they use to prepare their signature Nyonya Curry Fish Head. This Peranakan cuisine boasts a symphony of roots, flowers, and leaves, creating a delicious and aromatic flavor. Penny uses a unique ingredient, galangal flower, which she used to have shipped all the way from Malaysia, but now can get locally, to make this authentic Malaysian-inspired food. They use cod fish heads in their dish which are blanched to reduce their fishy flavor. Leslie and Penny invite Seth to try their Nyonya Curry Fish Head and he raves about the tender and flavorful meat. The restaurant also offers fish filet for those who prefer an easier-to-eat option.
