GRILLED FISH / IKAN BAKAR JALAN BELLAMY

GRILLED FISH / IKAN BAKAR JALAN BELLAMY

1. I forgot when did I go to this place LOL so a few things may have changed.

2. Basically in KL there are a few spots to get decent ikan bakar (grilled fish) but here at Jalan Bellamy is considered one of the favoured spots because it's in the city centre, affordable and the food are fairly delicious.

3. The selection varies and the choices are quite ample. The sauce they use to coat the seafood before grilling is sweet, a little bit spicy and if that's not enough, they have a couple of selections of dipping sauce for you to enjoy.

4. Here's a short video of my experience there:

5. Additional information to share with you if you're planning to give this place a try:

a) The place is normally packed so come early before lunch time.
b) There are a few restaurants but one stood out to be the most packed. I suggest you try that particular one.
c) A mosque is located just in front of the restaurants thus making it convenient for Muslim customers to perform their prayers.
d) There's a stall selling durian ice cream also in front of the restaurants. BUY it. It;s delicious :P

6. Address: Lorong Bellamy & Jalan Istana, Bukit Petaling, 50460 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Mission - Cendol Durian

 

It was initiated by one of those random talks about the things we should be doing to churn the days of of remaining annual leave at the end of 2018.

Rather than rattling on to decide where to go to wrap our 2018 getaway we agreed to spend a night in KL instead.

Kamil is our KL guy. He knows the city in and out.

One of the things he recommended to us was to try this cendol durian near Kampung Baru.

Personally I like to have cendol and durian separately but heyyy, why not spending for the combined for a good RM12 right?

For the full video of the cendol durian experience, please click here.

Located about a 5-7 minute walk from Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, it wasn't difficult to find the stall selling this favourite cendol durian of Kamil.

Vendors selling durian were pretty much drawn us to the stall. Tempted to stop at one of them for a quick taste, Kamil's swift pace heading towards the stall was an indicator he would not appreciate my intention to fulfill my durian desire LOL.

Once we reached the stall, we realised they were also selling other meals like ayam penyet. Thus it drew crowds to their stall and finding a spot made it quite a pain. But somehow we managed to find a table next to the vendors selling other fruit such as bananas, mangoes etc. Huh, other fruits were so not worthy of our attention that day LOL #DurianFTW

Durian Runtuh, well not literally haha

So according to Kamil we won't be disappointed once we see the portion. And he was right. 

It's pretty isn't it?

Shaved ice, coconut cream, palm sugar syrup, sweet corn, wiggly cendol and of course 6-8 pods of succulent yet soft, tangy, creamy God's lovely creation called durian in a bowl that translate to LOVE. Sorry I got carried away :P

Though it was not the very best quality of durian but still, combining with the coconut cream and based with the cool shaved ice was just something to die for.

Trust me if there's no one around, I'd have my way with this

I wasn't kidding hahaha

I think I devoured the whole bowl in less than 3 minutes. And I actually wanted a second. Tried to convince Yan to share a bowl with me but she was so indecisive. But we were going to have dinner in a couple of hours time so we thought it would be best to just have what we had and stop ...

.... I regret the decision. Should've had more LOL.

It has been a while…

It has been a while…

It’s been weeks since I last updated this blog. Too occupied with work and other stuff I just didn’t have time to sit down a write anything. Though I have a couple of topics I wanted to share but I just couldn’t get my feet under the desk for that just yet. I have also not been consistent with my daily book reading routine. I am currently nowhere the middle of the book so I am pretty sure I won’t come up with the book review anytime soon.

I have been extremely busy with work lately. I found it is now a norm for me to stay back at the office till eight or nine at night, and yes, the working on weekends – run, it is still going on. But it is not all bad. I did manage to squeeze in some time to take a breather and just spend those time to mainly, sleep, spend time with the family and friends. But mostly, sleep.

Well at least I get to see this stunning view thorugh my office window whenever I work late :)

I am going to be busy until middle of March and unfortunately, the peak of my hectic schedule will be in June – that’s right, during Ramadhan. But, no excuses of course. It just means I have to stay healthy, eat right, conserve my energy and have that extra push to get through all of these projects during the holy month. I certainly do not want the thing that happened to me during last Ramadhan where I got so stressed out and ill that I almost couldn’t continue fasting.

I must say, I am really looking forward to Eid this year. I will be taking a week off during Raya. Believe it or not, until today, I had only taken a day off of my annual leave. I have been saving up on my annual leave days for post June, where I won’t be attached to all these projects. So that week off of Eid break, will be my time to really enjoy, relax and won’t at all read through my emails – I hope so :P

So, that’s it. A short rant on work and what to be expected in the next coming weeks. It’s going to be a tough couple of months ahead but need to stay motivated and hopefully, all the projects will be a success! July, please come faster!
