The most common complains among the new arrivals working at the twin towers and the surrounding area seems to be the price of food. From fast foods such as McDonald’s, KFC, and Burger King, to the food courts and restaurants within KLCC and Avenue K malls, you often need to spend at least around RM10 to get a decent meal.
Warong Kak Fauziah is located behind Lembaga Getah Malaysia
However, if you are willing to walk just a bit, there are hidden gems littered all around the KLCC vicinity. Warong Kak Fauziah with its excellent ikan bakar (grilled fish) is one of them.
Hidden behind Lembaga Getah Malaysia (opposite main entrance of the twin towers), the little zinc roofed shack is tricky to get to. The safest bet is to walk from the back road of Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, and just follow what your nose tells you. There is usually a healthy crowd during lunch time on weekdays.
freshly grilled fish with rice comes to less than RM 6
There are three types of ikan bakar available here, ikan kembung (hardtail), ikan keli (catfish), and ikan pari (stingray). My favorite is always the ikan pari due to mainly the fact that there is no bone to deal with. For lunch, in addition to the fish, I also grabbed an omelet and some ulam (raw vegetable) to go with rice.
As with many ikan bakar places, you can find at least 3-4 different types of condiments to go with the fish, sambal belacan, chili with soya sauce and lime, cencaluk, and so forth. I usually like to mix them up.

The ikan pari here was simply delicious. Rich, oily, and generous portion of very tasty stingray meat mixed with the spicy sambal with that bits of burnt fish skin, there isn’t many thing that is so down to earth, no nonsense, halal and unhealthy. I love it. Best of all, the plate of fish, egg, vegetable, and rice was less than RM 6 in total.

Good food, great price, there isn’t nothing not to like about this place. Well, except maybe the lack of air conditioning, but that is pushing it, no?

that’s quite a decent price for ikan at a warong… and i do agree that klcc’s food shouldnt be consume on a daily basis..
eh eh …. bring me go makan!
wah a bit far from menara weld, KY, there’s also another ikan bakar stall near here which is quite nice….
Doesn’t look too impressive in picture though. But, your reputation in food speaks it all
hmmm…. thats an excellent price for the rice. . . . .u sure do know ur food around . . .
nice!!
Great find! Am sure many people working in Twin Towers and surrounding areas will be flocking this place soon.
Looks like any other nasi campur with ikan bakar. Guess must go there and taste it first ๐
Is this how you introduce your friend/colleague? You make him look desperate! Lol..
Actually working ppl ard that area called it as MAYANG STALL… besides ikan bakar, u should try the AYAM GORENG… very very crispy…
The KLCC area is home to many good ikan bakar places. I used to savour the famous stall behind Celcom as well as the one just outside the BSN building right across KLCC. Good and cheap !
chew wants a lover?
number?
Well, another cheap option would be the food court at Ambank (ex-MBF building). The chicken rice is not bad.
you should post up Chew’s Resume here so that the girls can make a thorough assessment first ๐
