What does a fishing trawler, Tamils in Singapore, Fish head curry and a Guinness world record all have in common?
The Little India Seafood Mela 2012, hosted by the Indian Restaurants Association of Singapore runs from the 30th June to 30th July 2012. Part of the annual Singapore Food Festival which started in 1994, the event at Little India has now established itself as an attraction for Singaporean citizens and tourists alike. Named the 'Seafood Tales of Temasek,' this year’s festival highlights the importance of Seafood in Singaporean diet and cuisine.

The fabulous dinners included steamed rice, fish head curry and many more delicious dishes.
On a fishing trawler specially constructed for the Seafood Mela and located in the heart of Little India, runs a month long Spice village featuring twelve South & North Indian restaurants. A local Tamil band entertains visitors while they enjoy the cuisine.
On the 14th July, the festival organisers broke a new Guinness World Record for the most number of fish heads served in one location. They serving 2,012 fish heads curries to 2012 paying guests. The curry was cooked by chefs from restaurants located in Little India – The Banana Leaf Apolo, Sakunthala's Food Palace, Gayatri, Muthu's Curry and Anjappar Authentic Chettinad Restaurant. Diners were entertained by multicultural and multinational performances during the evening event with a special performance by local comedian Kumar.
