Ikan Bakar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ikan Bakar is a Malaysian dish of fish or other forms of seafood grilled using charcoal. The word literally means "burnt fish" in Malay. Usually the meat is marinated (with spices and sometimes sambal belacan) and then grilled; sometimes with a banana leaf between the seafood and hotplate. Some of the popular forms of seafood besides fish include squid (sotong) and stingray.
Malacca's Ikan Bakar Umbai is well known for its Ikan Bakar. A wide range of fresh fish is available for grilling.
It seems unsound to transliterate, if it even is one, the term ikan bakar to 'burnt fish' as this would find harmony only in the term 'ikan terbakar or hangus'
