Ikan-Ikan (Four Seasons Resort)

First time and first meal in Langkawi, and it's sedap af. We were too knackered after our late afternoon flight to travel out of the hotel for dinner, so decided to have our meal at @fslangkawi 's in-house Malaysian restaurant, Ikan Ikan.

What arrived at the table was a centerpiece stunner of a whole red snapper, its
crispy carcass coiled around golden nuggets encasing flaky and juicy alabaster chunks of meat within. The strikingly yellow coconut and turmeric sauce was spot on as well - creamy, earthy and just a little sweet, with cherry tomatoes strewn on the plate providing bursts of acidity as a foil to the richness.

Taste: 4/5

Flawlessly executed fried rice where every spicy, salt-kissed grain has the perfect al dente bite. Its studded with pieces of ikan bilis, carrot, eggs and onion and topped with a fillet of crispy mackerel which unfortunately was quite bony. That saucer of sambal though, was the fiery kiss that dialled the flavour to 10.
