Manaweblife took a drive to Ulu Langat to discover a local favourite called Ikan Salai , (salai means smoked) at a simple road side stall owned by one Encik Hasan. This wooden shed-like stall has been around for 15 years and the owner takes pride in every step of preparation as you can see in this video. You will be welcomed by a signage that says IKAN SALAI and a telephone number. Not surprisingly, Encik Hasan takes catering orders even for weddings from around the neighbourhood. The video shows how he prepares the fire with selected firewood, then his choices of fishes. He makes sure the fire is hot enough, smoky enough  and then puts the fish into a skewer when marinated with salt and "kunyit" (turmeric ). He sprays water to balance the heat too so that the fish is evenly smoked and crispy. Once done you can literally catch the smoked aroma in the air. Besides catfish and talapia, other fish are served depending on availability. He says the smoked fish is best taken with lemon and chili sauce. Unfortunately, this is a take-away stall.  So, if you want to experience hot off the grill smoked fish amidst cool natural surroundings it is best to bring your own cutlery and sit on the small landing shed provided ! Have a try the next time you are in the outbacks of Ulu Langat. It's an experience not to be forgotten.
