With over 300 review on google, you won't exactly go wrong at this location. Have a feast with friends. Fish and prawns can be expensive, so ask for the price before you order. Butter prawns is recommended. However, a plate can set you back 20rm. If your looking for food on the cheap, try their menu. Check out their blog.

This is in case you are unable to find Idrus Ikan Bakar, but Idrus seems to have more reviews on Google. Both seems to carry the same pricing for seafood, so take your pick. This store is bigger than Idrus, so in case you are going with a gigantic group of friends and can't fit into one store.

This is the most colourful out of the 3 seafood restaurants I recommend. Choose a nice colourful table or if your gonna romance your other half. Prices can be colourful as well, apparently a group of 17 paid 1400rm for their food according to google reviews, so check their prices before placing an order.

I know you guys like your fast food and its a 1.5km walk but I'm still reminding you that its just there. That takes approximately 19 minutes from the apartment. Take as long as you like. It's a 24 hr store anyway.
Ps. I know some people hate walking, so they do home delivery too. If you want to skimp on delivery fees, I advice renting a motorbike for a month.
