Medan Ikan Bakar

Location: Kuala Perlis, Perlis, Malaysia

The Ikan Bakar in this stall is definitely one of the must-try dishes in Perlis. Besides of the well-cooked homemade Ikan Bakar, the stall also serves you various side dishes which you can eat together with the main course. These side dishes include batter-friend squids with sweet chili sauce, stir-fried greens, steamed clams (La-la) with ginger, boiled cockles, and fried eggs with chilies and onions, Tom Yam Soup with Mixed Seafood and Chicken, as well as Sambal Petai with Prawns.

HISTORY OF PERLIS

Perlis is closely related with and originally was a part of neighbouring state of Kedah. After the Siamese conquered Kedah in 1821, the British, with the intention of securing their interests in nearby Perak, negotiated the 1826 Burney and Low Treaties which resulted in formal relations being established with the Malay states of Kedah and Perak with the kingdom of Siam, their nominal overlord.

However, the exiled Kedah Sultan, Ahmad Tajuddin, was not returned to his throne. Sultan Ahmad and his armed supporters then fought on for his restoration for over twelve years (1830-1842). In 1842, the exiled Sultan finally agreed to accept Siamese terms, and was restored to his throne of Kedah.

However, the Siamese separated Perlis and made it into a separate principality and a vassal to Bangkok. Syed Hussain Jamalulail, of Arab descent and grandson of the Sultan of Kedah, became the first Raja of Perlis. His descendants still rule Perlis, but as Rajas, instead of as Sultans.
With the signing of the Bangkok Agreement between the British and Siamese on 9 July 1909, as with Kedah, the British took control of Perlis.

The first British Resident or advisor to Perlis was Meadow Frost. With the Japanese invasion in 1941, Perlis was returned to Siam by the Japanese as a reward for Siam's
alliance with Japan. This brief annexation ended with the Japanese surrender. After World War II, Perlis returned to British rule until it became part of the Malayan Union, and the Federation of Malaysia in 1957.

Since 2000, the Raja or hereditary monarch has been Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin.

INTRODUCTION

Perlis may be the smallest state in Malaysia, but it boasts a wealth of natural, cultural and historical splendours that rival the bigger states. You may be mesmerised by the many quaint villages, picturesque scenery and centuries-old traditions wherever you go. In short, Perlis is the perfect destination to head for if you prefer old world charm instead of the hustle and bustle of the city, where life is unhurried and the environment naturally fresh and crisp.

Perlis lies at the northwestern tip of the Malay Peninsula; bounded by Thailand in the north, and by Kedah to the east and south. Its western coastline borders the Straits of Melaka. It measures approximately 810 sq km and has a population of 217,480. The state capital is Kangar while Arau, 10km away, is the Royal town.

Although small in size, Perlis is not without its attractions, foremost among which is its serene beauty. Perlis, too, abounds with rustic rural scenes and rolling green fields of padi.

January to April the weather is generally warm and dry. Days are hot and windy but nights can become cold towards dawn. September to December is wet. The average annual rainfall is between 2,000 ml and 2,500 ml (80" to 100") and humidity is high throughout the year. Temperature varies little the year round, ranging from 21° C to 32° C.
