1. Kak Jat Ikan Bakar

A name no stranger to the regular food patrons of Jalan Bellamy, Kak Jat arguably serves one of the best ikan bakar at that particular area.

The fish is coated with a layer of sea salt and aromatic marinade prior to being grilled on the pan – the result is a deliciously crisp exterior with the freshness wonderfully retained on the inside along with its moist juices.

2. Gerai Mak Alang

Walk down further on the street of Jalan Bellamy and you’ll stumble upon the equally famous ikan bakar from Geral Mak Alang. With a wide array of offering from stingray, kembung, tilapia, and other seafood fares such as cockles, clams, and prawns, customers are surely spoilt for choice. Special shoutout goes to Mak Alang as they offer a delectable range of sambal to accompany the fresh grills, including tempoyak!
