Ikan Bakar BELLAMY...

everyone likes to eat out.. and i'm no different.. in fact, me and my family LOVE eating out.... firstly, coz i dont have to cook and sweat over the stove.. secondly, i dont have to wash the dishes after eating, thirdly,  i get to eat other people's cooking.... best kan? but of course there are some drawbacks too .. .you gotta say goodbye to your 'hard-earned' ringgits and sens.... then there's the case of lousy foods... 

but those do not really stop me (and everyone else out there) from eating out and/or tapau-ing foods...

so, the first eating-out place i'm gonna feature here is one of my favorite eating joints.... IKAN BAKAR JALAN BELLAMY.!!!... 

there are four gerai (stalls) there .... my fave is the third one from the main road (or from the mosque).. 

 front view of the gerai 

 the staff grilling seafoods

 

my fave mak cik waitress... 

she may looks fearsome but she's all heart...

 the stall's secret weapon i think is their cicah or sauces..

it's the best i've tasted so far and believe me, i've tasted plenty..

it's a combination of kicap, chopped onions, cili padi, lime juice (on the left)

AND some kind of concoction which i think is made from asam jawa and belacan... mix them together, and  you're in ikan bakar heaven.. but be prepared to 'cry me some river'.. it can be very hot for some people...

okay.. .here are the main stars.. the ikan bakar..

plenty of different types of fishes like siakap, keli, kembong, pari, cencaru, but my fave is the talapia... simply marvellous...

 they may look somewhat burnt

but dont let the appearance fools you.. 

 and here's the proof..

cleaned to the bones.. yummy!!

 

 they have other seafoods too like squids which are equally tasty..

and prawns and cockles...

 

but squids are my fave...

let's forget about the cholesterol for a while, shall we? 

  

 besides the grilled stuff, they too have other lauk pauks..

this is what i usually take with my talapias and squids..

plenty of nice kampung-styled dishes here...

 and to wash it all down, don't forget to order their ABC.. sedapp...

but i mine is always without the peanuts... 

hate peanuts in my ABC.. .

talk about being fussy, eh..?

so, that's what ikan bakar bellamy is all about.. the address is  :
Gerai Ikan Bakar, Jalan Bellamy,
Bukit Petaling, 50480 Kuala Lumpur (behind the istana negara)
GPS Coordinates: N3 07.835 E101 41.686

 

other tips :

1) come early coz the lunch crowds starts as early as 11 am... nanti susah nak carik parking and tempat duduk.. unless you want to makan at the other three gerai lah.. my gerai is always the most crowded...

2) be prepared to sweat it out... it's hot there..  coz the heat does not only come from the sun, but from the kuah cicah (sauces) as well..

3) come with friends,.. coz it's always fun to fight over such yummilicous foods.. ((=
