12 Comments

I might have been selfish in sharing food places at times or another way to say it, I have forgotten to blog about it till I look thru my old folder. If you are craving for Japanese food yet you are a bit tight in pocket? well, there is this place I went so often with my ex-colleague and friends, is this Nihon Kai, Japanese Restaurant located at Old Klang Road which is a hidden gem in the area.

For this post, you might think I am being lazy, reason is  I have lost this receipt and its a combine pictures of many occasions I went there.

The shop is very hidden but yet they enjoy brisk business for lunch and dinner. One of the reason they are always full is their generous portion of serving at economic price.

There are 2 levels in the shop that mostly cater for 2 – 4 pax and if you have bigger group you will be seated upstairs. .

Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar @ Melaka

No Comments

One of the place in Melaka to hunt for food, Jason introduce us this fresh seafood that he constantly visit and now, it is not only famous to local crowds as many Singaporean also drop by this place according to him. The place is about 15 minutes’ drive out from the town area towards very ‘kampung side’ Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar and turn into a small lane with sandy rockies road with paddy field at one side to reach this place. We were advice to start the journey early as it is easily filled up very fast. We reach here at 6pm, so the whole place still pretty empty.

This place is located at Alai and by the eatery place name of HJ Nasir Ikan Bakar (Grill Fish).

Now I understand why they said the seafood here is very fresh, some of the fisherman come back from the straights of Melacca, which is not too far from here and he get all the first hand fresh seafood first.

In a hot weather like this, it is always best to sit outside for more cool wind.

When we move over to this mini stall to order our food, we were spoil with choices, with so many types of fish and seafood available.

Then grill fresh on the pit area. . .

All off us were pretty full from some other food hunt earlier, and make it 2nd last stop before heading back to KL.

Small pack of Nasi Lemak was served which is optional, and decided to give it a try, and it was a let down. The rice was damp, not much fragrant and the sambal look very spicy which is not really.

Fried Squid were really good, fresh squid which is very chewy and the amount of crispiness on the layer of it, just nice and dip it with chili sauce is perfect. We order another round of it.

Spicy Fried Stingray, well prepared with crispy edge on its tail and the meat in the middle is still very soft, and spread with their own homemade sambal on top just right.

They just cant wait ..  too hungry again . . as we have seperate the right table are all small eaters including me, and on the left are all heavy weight champion eater.

Grill Kembung Fish with sambal.

Cannot deny that the price here is cheap as we paid around RM 20 per pax after divided out and all of this are in 2 portion and the seafood is fresh. Taste wise, nothing to shout about, yet if like kampung style dining, this would be a place to go after.

Ikan Bakar (Istana Negara) @ Jalan Bellamy, KL

No Comments

One of the place that my colleague really fond of when comes to lunch time, this place had attracted them to drive all the way from Bukit Jalil to somewhere behind Istana Negera, Jalan Bellamy to hunt for this Ikan Bakar (Grill Fish) stall around the area. I used to think, what is so good about this place as they always mention Ikan Bakar ya for lunch, till I tag along.

ikan bakar (1)

In the area, it is very obvious that there is a stretch of Ikan Bakar stall with only one of it is extremely busy compare to the others. The trick is, arriving early to get a parking space as the area are quite small and its limited parking available, also long queue in the line for food and finding tables.

ikan bakar (2)

I am suprise to see the huge frying pan filled with alot of seafood being grilled and consistant grilling till after lunch, with common grilled seafood are, sotong (squids), udang (prawns), ikan (fish), and many other types more. Most of the seafood are huge in size.

ikan bakar (3)

Then there is a tray located next to the grilled pan and from there, is where you start hunting for your favourite seafood to be place on your plate.

ikan bakar (4)

The things that you must not miss out when eating ikan bakar is their special sauce ingredients, as most of the stalls have different taste and types of chili to be added onto the seafood as condiments for this stalls is called ‘cicah kicap’ that I usually added it on with fish to add on some extra kick to it, filled with lime taste, and a bit sweet in sauce. Next is the ‘spicy sambal’ that my colleague whack it like nobody’s business as if like not spicy. One simple dip on it, makes my tears instanly flow out and sweat oozing out. It is very spicy, do try it out if you love the challenge under this hot weather.

ikan bakar (5)

One of my favourite seafood ‘Ikan Pari’ (sting ray) as I like it with the meat is easily peel off and dip with both the condiments. Just do note that the bigger the fish is, the meat are harder, I usually prefer mine in a smaller piece which is nicely grilled with the banana leave wraping over it to create the extra aroma.

ikan bakar (6)

Then I tried ‘Siakap’ (if not mistaken) as I prefer this the most. Grilled till very aromatic with a bit burn on the skin and the meat is very soft.

ikan bakar (7)

Sotong (Squid)

ikan bakar (8)

One of the food I was told by the Makcik to try on it is this homemade ‘Tapai’, a type of traditional fermented food origins from East and SouthEast Asia which is made of cassava and rice or glutinious rice. I usually do not like the taste of it, but for this homemade version, I find the taste quite okay, with the fermented taste is mild and the rice is soft. I finish one of it by myself.

ikan bakar (9)

If you feel that you do not like what offer on the pan grill then there is a Nasi Melayu behind the stall which offer alot of food on the tray for you to choose. By the time I left was around 1pm and the place is crazy, with all the lunch crowd pouring in and the traffic had worsen.

Overall, the food is okay, once a while to dine here is pretty alright as the price is a little pricy compare to the location of it. . .
