Ikan 1986 at Sun Plaza

MUIS halal otak-otak specialist at Sun Plaza Sembawang, crafting traditional fish cake rolls since 1986.

Ikan 1986 is a halal-certified otak-otak specialist that has been producing its signature grilled fish cake rolls since 1986, making it one of Singapore's enduring heritage food brands. The Sun Plaza outlet at Sembawang brings its traditional otak-otak — made from fresh fish paste blended with a fragrant mix of spices, coconut milk, and chilli, then wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over charcoal — to the northern community. Each piece delivers a smoky, spicy, and subtly sweet flavour that reflects decades of refinement in this Peranakan-Malay delicacy. Beyond the classic otak-otak, the stall offers variations including prawn otak-otak and premium fish options, alongside nasi lemak sets that pair the grilled fish cakes with coconut rice and sides. The brand's MUIS halal certification ensures accessibility for Muslim diners, and its presence in multiple outlets across Singapore — from Sun Plaza to other heartland locations — has made it a convenient option for picking up a snack or a full meal. Takeaway is available, and the stall's efficient service suits both quick stops and casual dining. For a taste of authentic, charcoal-grilled otak-otak with nearly four decades of heritage behind it, Ikan 1986 at Sun Plaza is a northern Singapore gem. It is tradition, wrapped in banana leaf and served with pride.
