Pulau Dayang Bunting Marble Geopark, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
A few tourists asked me about Langkawi during our (Rachel and I) way back from Cambodia. It seems to be Langkawi is very popular with the European and the North American tourists. They seems to have a lot of interest and knowledge in Langkawi and Penang, maybe Tourism Malaysia did they part well there. Langkawi now, is very much different than it used to be. My first trip to Langkawi dated bac k to 1990s, where the tourist attractions were only the Mahsuri tomb …

Beras Basah Island, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
My previous trip to Langkawi really changed my perception towards the island. It really changed so much over the past decade. From a duty free island to now a more adventurous and fun island. The island hopping tour we paid, brought to this beautiful Beras Basah Island.

A direct translation of Beras Basah means wet rice. It’s one of the popular destination in Langkawi island. And example of Beras Basah Island or Pulau Beras Basah by Tourism Malaysia.

When we docked at the jetty we were quite surprised …

Bat Cave at Langkawi, MALAYSIA
Often when we talk about bat cave, the first thing that comes to our mind is Batman. Well, it is true that Batman has a bat cave. However, our country Malaysia also have our version of bat cave.
Located in Langkawi, the bat cave tour is usually packaged under the mangrove tour. Tour prices varies depending on how many person per boat and what type of boat hired. What I can say is we got ourselves quite a sweet deal. This was dated back in October last …

Do you know that Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad owns The Loaf? asked by my friend, Joyce.
“Yeah, I know…” I replied.
“His office is up there…” Joyce pointing up on the 2nd floor of The Loaf at Telaga Harbour Park, Langkawi. Obviously she was joking at that time.
The story itself is old, it goes way back to October 2008 when we were having a lovely trip to Langkawi. I guess probably many might not know Tun actually owned a bakery shop by the name of The Loaf. It has 2 outlets, one …

A Journey to the Underwater World, Langkawi
(Oct ‘08)-Undeniable one of the attractions in Langkawi, the Underwater World Langkawi. I went there before, many years ago when they were newly opened. Now, the place now expanded so much, I barely recognized it. There was an unpleasant thing happened in 2007, where hundreds of fish died of poisoning.

The entrance of Underwater World Langkawi. For Mykad holders (Malaysians), entrance fee was RM 28 for adults while foreigners were RM 38.

Even though there were a tragic incident a year before, there were a lot …

Fancy nice and cozy Italian restaurant in Langkawi? Located opposite of Langkawi Underwater World, there’s a little green sign very much visible from the main road. The funny thing about this Italian place is, its run by English couple. Well, of course I had this during my Langkawi trip on Oct 2008.
We went for a quick meal since we had plans for our dinner. We ordered Olive, Onion and Cheese Bread for starter. It was pretty good but I’m not a olive lover. Since we were in Langkawi, we ordered …

Wild Eagle Feeding, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
There are still a few things that I’ve yet to post about my trip to Langkawi a few months back. I must say this trip has change my mind set about Langkawi. There are so many interesting stuffs to do, not like it used to be.
Eagle Feeding tour is normally packaged with Mangrove Tour. Its quite breath taking seeing eagles dive speedily down to the river to fetch their foods.
I took a few pictures, you can clearly see the eagles swarming at the area waiting for …

Whoa… I know Kung Fu…. – Keanu Reeves in Matrix…
But Keanu never ate in Chinese Kung Fu Restaurant… I did!
When you see a sign reads “Chinese Kung Fu BBQ Restaurant”… you expect to see lots of kung fu actions… maybe in the restaurant… or the food… or both??
So there I was getting involved with the Kung Fu actions… the Southern Tiger Claw!!!
Rachel also got involved in da Kung Fu fighting…
The gang….
We anxiously waiting for our Kung Fu foods…
For the mean time, I went around and snap pictures…
Our first dish, seafood …

I had this on October 2008 when I was in Langkawi. We just randomly chose this restaurant and it didn’t turn out to be bad. I guess when you are in Langkawi, liquors will be the first choice no matter where you eat. We ordered a vege and crabs. I’m on a flower crab lover so I don’t really like the crabs. The taste was ok but not the crabs.
The Tom Yam soup was good. You can see the size of the prawn! The “kung po” chicken was good. Overall …

Well, we knew its a Harbour Steakhouse and they served steaks. However, we didn’t want to stuffed ourselves in the afternoon, so we decided…
..to have sandwiches instead…
Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast Sandwich…
Roast Beef and Onion Sandwich…
The fantastic things I learn from restaurants at Harbour Park is the price are somehow quite reasonable. Sandwiches plus drink came to a RM 20 a pax. Considering the lovely view we had and the services were good, its a must go place. By the way, did I tell you that the food was good?
Another great …

This one of the few we tried at Harbour Park itself. We thought of going elsewhere to try out some foods but at the end of the day, we stick to Harbour Park for lunch.
Amazingly, we went to Mare Blu Kafe out of the blue…
The starters…The pasta… I love this one, this is a charmer…
The pizza, not too bad…
The cabonara is quite good…
The mango pudding..
Lovely ice-cream…We were so tempted by the set lunches available at Harbour Park. Mare Blu Kafe offered set menus ranges from RM 1x ++ to less …

When I was in Langkawi, we were in search of good seafood. Harbour Park was one of our favourites but since we were staying at Pantai Tengah, we scouted around for a good place to eat. We passed by this Restoran Fat Mum Seafood a numerous time with the Vios we rented. So on one of the evenings, we drove in and checked the menu and we decided to give it a try…
We were seated at this 2 storey stand alone building… A woman came out and served us and …
