Belitung Island

There are many hotel in Tanjungpandan, Belitung, such as :

Gangan (fish soup). It is a soup, yellow color and very spicy. The taste is very dependence on type of fish that cooked. The most popular fishes for gangan are named ketarap, ilak, and libam/baronang. Gangan must be spicy in order to reduce smell from the fish.

Ikan Bakar (grill fish).

Grill fish is the same everywhere in the world, except the taste. My recommendation, please select the right fish. It has to be fresh and fat. If you find a fisherman that just land his boat, ask them and buy the fish from them, because you will never been disappointed.
