During our stay in Langkawi, we really only ate in Pentai Cenang where we were staying. While there are a number of food options, we weren’t overwhelmed by the choice of restaurants available to us, with lots of options over-priced and not so inviting. In saying that, there were a couple of gems we found like the below. Yasmin was our pick of the food choices, with the Roti at Restoran Almaz hard to beat.
Malaysia
When the rain stopped – Langkawi
On the north-west coast of Malaysia, just a half an hour by plane from Penang lies Langkawi, a popular holiday destination for both domestic and international tourists alike. It was obvious upon arrival, this is where Malaysian families liked to spend their holiday time, with both affordable and high-end accommodation options overlooking clear waters and island vistas.
Where to eat and drink in Penang
Penang is a foodies dream. And even if your sole purpose for travelling isn’t eating your way around the world, I promise you’ll be won over by the food of George Town.
Photo friendly – Penang
We were excited about Penang even before we got there, hearing from multiple people how cool this place is. An island just off the west coast of northern Malaysia, Penang is joined to the mainland via bridge and functions as it’s own big city. While the main tourist attraction has to be the UNESCO listed city that is George Town, Penang also offers beaches and amazing street food that are worth the stop alone.
A respite from the sweat – Cameron Highlands
We used Cameron Highlands as a stop over on our way to Penang, enjoyed the cooler climes, the slower pace of life and change of scenery it offered. We only spent two nights and one full day here and found that to be more than enough for us. If you’re planning on doing a rainforest trek, you’ll probably need a little longer.
Where to eat and drink in Kuala Lumpur
These are some of the awesome food and drink options we found/were recommended. We also suggest you try some other Malaysia specialties- Char Kway Teow, Marmite Pork and Salted Egg Squid.

Good tips help you find those cool spots – Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, a large westernised city with so many things to do, so much to see and most importantly, so much to eat. We had three full days here and were determined to make the most of our time, armed with a list of ‘must do’s’ from a friend who used to live there, so helpful by the way.
