Langkawi

What I really love about this place though is the beautiful paper lanterns around the ceilings and colorful fabrics lining all the walls. It really feels like you’re in Malaysia though I’ve never been, but at least transported to somewhere different. It’s warm and the dim lighting creates an intimate, cosy atmosphere. Great service as well.
The Kung-​po squid came in a long fish dish with vegetables, dried chilli and sauteed squid. Great for seafood lovers. We got the Langkawi fish special which was nice and fresh with lemon, lemon grass and coriander. Beware of the Hot Babi Pedas, as I thought I had a high tolerance for spicy but this was still Hot with a capital H. Pork slices with vegetables and cooked with cumin, fresh chilli and other spices that make you feel like you’re going to breathe fire.
Nasi lemak is purple fragrant coconut rice which I adore but if you’re more inclined to classic, they have plain steamed rice as well. Great order on the side of the curry as well as their flaky Chanai flatbread.
Food is yum, décor is absolutely wonderful. Must see

I used to forget about Malay food when ordering takeouts, opting instead for more familiar Asian cuisines, like Thai or Vietnamese, but one visit to Langkawi has changed all that! We recently ordered takeouts and were more than impressed. In fact, we were rather angry that we hadn’t been sooner — after all, it’s only 5mins down the road. Shame on us!
It’s hard to choose, but our favourite dish was the Kapitan chicken. It was beautifully cooked in a well-​balanced, aromatic sauce and served with light fluffy rice. Our only complaint was that there was enough to sauce to mop up with the buttery roti!
Special mention must also be made of the Mee Goreng, which was packed full of flavour and had just the right amount of heat. I added a liberal squeeze of lemon to mine and it was seriously good. For $ 13, the portion was extremely generous — we had plenty of leftovers for the next day.
I am rather looking forward to my next visit. Hopefully we will be dining in because the interior of this place is delightful — full of brightly coloured decorations with plenty of sparkles!
