Kak Jat Ikan Bakar (Gerai No. 3)

When on Jalan Bellamy where a stretch of ikan bakar stalls reside, zero in on Gerai No. 3 for Kedai Kak Jat's foolproof fish. Set atop a hill, the rustic location lends to its charm for a casual lunch date. A multitude of marinated seafood greets you at the counter where you get to choose your meat. Look out for a fresh, sizeable Tilapia (from RM20). The fish is not so much grilled as it is pan-fried in a banana leaf, but the result is tantalising all the same. Sizzling the fish on high heat helps achieve the thin, crispy brown skin that envelopes soft, white flesh within. Meanwhile, the spicy marinade complements but doesn't overpower the freshness of the fish. The Squid (RM8) is also superbly done — fat, whole squids grilled to a delicious char. On dipping sauces, get the cicah kicap (soy sauce) that's surprisingly spicy with a finishing kick from zesty lime. Rice is available, as well as options for nasi campur-style dishes. The place fills up every afternoon so it's best to come early to beat the lunch crowd.
Avg price per person: RM25

We arrived at about 12.15pm & the place is already packed. Waited for approx. 15 mins to get seated.
We had Siakap, Cencaru & Sotong. All very fresh and the squid is stuffed with egg! The sambal ooo lala.. total damage for 4 is RM63.

Too bad puasa mth is starting already.. so, have to wait till after raya to come here for lunch again or come over to buka puasa also ok geh.. #takepicha #dinewithannna #livetoeat #ikanbakar #kleats #bbqfish #kakjatikanbakar #jalanbellamy #food #foodie #foodpic #foodstagram #foodgasm #foodporn #omnomnom #burple
