Ikan bakar is one of Malaysia's most recognisable grilled dishes: whole fish or fillets marinated in sambal, wrapped in banana leaf, and charred over an open flame until the skin crisps and the flesh stays moist inside. In Cheras, restaurants serving this dish are spread across neighbourhoods from Taman Midah to Bandar Sri Permaisuri. GrabFood connects you to verified ikan bakar Cheras options so you can order grilled fish at home without the drive.

What to Expect When You Order Ikan Bakar in Cheras
Ikan bakar prepared in the Malaysian style typically uses whole fish such as tilapia, siakap (barramundi), or cencaru (hardtail scad). The fish is coated in a sambal paste made from chilli, shallots, garlic, and belacan, then grilled over charcoal or flame. Gelugur, the dried fruit of Garcinia atroviridis, is sometimes added to the marinade or stuffed inside the fish to add tartness, as seen in the nasi ikan bakar tilapia merah gelugur available from one of the Cheras restaurants on GrabFood. When ordering for delivery, expect the fish to arrive wrapped or packed to preserve heat. Pair it with plain white rice or nasi ulam for a full meal.
