Red Sky Restaurant & Bar

April 22, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Considering Red Sky Restaurant & Bar ended up located next to a restaurant with a similar name, they’ve carved out their own Pantai Cenang niche becoming one of the favored landing spots for locals and tourists alike. Sometimes overlooked within their foliage laden enclave, the shady street-side restaurant and bar creates a perfect little tropical […]

The Datai, Luxury in the Rainforest

April 10, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

One could easily get lost at The Datai Langkawi, with the maze of trails intertwined within her lush jungle premises, but a pondering soul could ‘find’ themselves as well. It’s difficult to think beyond the immediate when one’s mental workings are competing with the vast beauty of a rainforest and the many nuances of nature. […]

Mafioso Steakhouse

March 30, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

With a plethora of culturally diverse dining options available in Langkawi’s Kuah Town feeding the masses is never a problem, but although delicious options abound one may occasionally get a bit glassy eyed over yet another Sup Tom Yam, Curry Chicken or Beef Rendang. But you’re in luck! Conveniently located in burgeoning Pekan Rabu is […]

Cruising the Andaman Islands: Langkawi to Phuket

March 18, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

One of the options of getting from Langkawi to Phuket, in one day, is by high-speed ferry. This window of opportunity is only available from about late October-early November to late April-mid May, due to seasonal winds and waves. I’d seen the service advertised but couldn’t quite source the precise information, so I  dropped into […]

The English Tea Room of Langkawi

February 19, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

As a kid, Tea Time was just a term I had heard in the movies. It wasn’t until an employment stint in Singapore that I was able to enjoy those employee ‘tea-breaks’ and bare witness to this refined alternative to the traditional American ‘afternoon snack’. When The English Tea Room opened, I’d thought it was […]

Chicken Joe’s: Langkawi Hainanese Cafe

January 25, 2013 by Vanessa Workman 2 Comments

Chicken and rice is pretty much a staple dish in Malaysia. So when you find a chicken and rice restaurant that comes with great reviews from friends it’s definitely worth checking out. Langkawi Hainanese Cafe, otherwise known as Chicken Joe’s is such a place. Located on the corner end of Langkawi Mall on Jalan Kelibang, […]

Tanjung Rhu Resort

January 7, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Tanjung Rhu Beach happens to be my favorite Langkawi beach, as it is with many people. And it’s difficult not to notice Tanjung Rhu Resort from the beach, but my only actual sighting of the resort itself had only been through pictures. Being a rather brazen person, the mischievous part of me would normally attempt […]
