A stroll in a "Pasar" (Malay for "market") in Kuala Lumpur (KL) revealed local mackerel and catfish marinated with a paste of turmeric, chilli, onion and garlic and readied for grilling using charcoal. "Ikan Bakar" (Malay for "burnt fish") is a true local classic and favourite in Malaysia that is a must try for any visitor.
