A less known place behind Istana Negara

Where can you find amongst the best ikan bakar in the middle of KL?

Try this place which we went to today together with our bro and sis in-laws. The place was also recommended by Rafie and wife back in Holland. The place is a Medan Selera along Jalan Bellamy located behind Istana Negara. If you want to go there by taxi, just mentioned Ikan bakar belakang Istana Negara - they will definitely know the place. It is a well hidden spot except for the locals here.

There are about four food-stalls/restaurants altogether, all were crowded today, but we went to the one right at the end owns by a family who came from Sabah. The place is only opened during lunch time and closed on Sunday. So if you don't mind eating during the day, in the heat of the day in a fairly simple setting, this is the place. Best time is to go before 12 before the office crowd start to pack the place.

It is all self service there. Once you manage to find seats, you then proceed to collect the plates of grilled fish of your choice. Then get the rice and the ulams to enjoy the meal. The restaurant helpers will go around and write down the list of items on a piece of paper for you to present to the cashier afterward once you finish the meal. The prices are pretty reasonable. The fish range from 10 to 25 ringgits per plate. The rest are pretty cheap.
