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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

The Art of Cuisine @ Art Cafe

October 20, 2012 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Spending much of my time in Langkawi, I was initially drawn here by the beaches, rainforest and the simple ‘island’ lifestyle. It was easy to leave behind the bustle of a cosmopolitan lifestyle of San Francisco in exchange for new adventures in Southeast Asia, but I soon found out a few things were missing… one […]

Scarborough’s Fish & Chips

July 20, 2012 by Guest Writer: Thomas C. Gerrard Leave a Comment

On my very first visit to Langkawi in 2005 I noticed a seemingly abandoned house in Tanjung Rhu on the north side of Langkawi. It had everything that I dreamed about for a beach home. Location, location, location. But fate brought me to my home in Kuala Teriang. Located on the sea it had many […]

Airport Corner Restaurant

July 3, 2012 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Having passed this particular ‘corner’ near the Langkawi International Airport for several years now, it wasn’t until recently that I actually stopped in to try the food at Airport Corner. My friend Iris actually suggested one night we meet there for dinner. Iris has never led me astray so I agreed. And as usual  she […]

I Got Struck @ fatCUPID !

July 2, 2012 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

I’m ashamed to say that I may be one of the few people in Langkawi, who had not been to fatCUPID Restaurant at La Pari-Pari yet. I had met the ‘family’ initially when they were starting construction on their new ventures that included of all creative things a recycled tree house project. What can I […]
