Restoran Sekinchan Ikan Bakar

I went to this place on Mother's Day. 08.05.2011.


I must really compliment the marketing team behind this restaurant for their efforts in promoting this place. There were banners all over the place few months ago, but I conveniently dismissed this place from my thoughts. However, a TV advert caught my attention few days ago. Good job, team !


Well, Restoran Sekinchan Ikan Bakar is currently one of the popular dining place in kl nowadays. It's famous for it's ikan bakar - Grilled fish.



Here are some of good food :


Nasi Lemak Rm 2.50
This may looked simple but it tasted awesome, man !!!
Sambal ikan bilis was neither too spicy nor too blant and the rice was so
"santan fragrant".
Good food for Malaysian :)



Chicken Soup Rm 3.00
It tasted like Sup Bunjut - A typical malay soup with some spices.
It's quite worthy considering the amount of chicken and potatoes in it !
Well, it's because it was self service :)
However, it was not as tasty as Sup Ayam at BRJ. This soup was quite diluted for a person who is so used to mamak's sup ayam.



Ulam Rm 1.00
Some might love ulam and some might not like them at all.
However, it's pretty healthy to eat it and it's usually served at Malay's restaurant.
The ulam here was clean and fresh.
I liked the okra and egg plant the most because it's very compatible with the grilled fish gravy.




Sambals - FOC
Well, there were 3 kinds of individual sambals here.
However, I must tell you that it's tasted nothing compared to the grilled fish gravy that I'll mention further down.



Grilled Ikan Jenahak Rm 30.00
Main dish of the day !
The most important factor about seafood is the freshness of it !
This place didn't disappoint me, for this fish was very fresh.
It was served with this Heavenly Gravy... which was sour and not too spicy.
Very appetizing.
Good food !



Grilled Cockles Rm 10.00
For those who do not like bloody cockles. You can always come here.
These "babies" were grilled to perfection. It's fresh, it's well cooked and the same Heavenly Gravy matched the cockles like ooh la la.
yum...



Grilled Crab Rm 24.00
I would say that this crab was only 50% fresh. The meat had became too soft due to the lack of freshness.
Although the gravy had saved the crab, it would have been better if the meat was solid and in tact.
I would suggest that you do not order crab if you like really fresh seafood.



Grilled Stingray Rm 21.00
This was my another favourite dish.
The ikan pari was very fresh and needless to say, the meat was tender and juicy.
Indeed, good food !



All the grilled seafood will come with the same gravy on top of it. However, the special part was that, the gravy will taste slightly different on different seafood. For example, I found out that the crab's gravy was slightly sweeter while the cockles' gravy was slightly more salty. For the rest, you can always experiment it yourself :)



Iced Lemon Tea Rm 1.50
Lastly, the cooler of the day.
This iced lemon tea will help to chill your body after all the "bakar-bakar".
It tasted like the normal teh o ais limau from mamak stall, but this was cheaper by
20 cents.
Not bad !


The down side about this place was the houseflies. Although there were just one or two of them, it was quite irritating. Disturbing us while we were enjoying the food.

However the good thing about this place was that, it was free from service tax and government tax ! Yay to our pockets !

Overall rating : 8/10
Verdict : will go back again : )
