What? Seafood Feast BBQ Dinner Buffet. Sounds fishy enough? Imagine this.. The sound of Fish oil dripping on the grill, marinated catfish grilled to perfection with slightly crispy skin, juicy and tender on the inside. Part of it's One Day One Theme, Many Varieties dinner, happening every Fridays, G Hotel brings in the freshest seafood to the grill on a buffet style. One not to be missed by all seafood lovers. Large enough to cater for a group gathering, party or even a romantic setting quiet dinner for 2. What more can you ask for? Huge and spacious for privacy yet good enough for Family dinner. The best part? You choose what you want on the grill. For Japanese food lovers, there are also a variety of fresh cut sashimi and sushis to choose from. Mouth watering sashimi all you can eat. Daily carvery features the ikan bakar. Definitely a must try. My personal favourite, the Crab Curry Kampung style.. You could also opt for their cold s...

Hungry and thinking of where to eat with budget? How about unlimited refills of tomato rice with condiments(vegetables) at only 6.50/set served on a banana leaf? Hidden in New World Park itself is this little restaurant called Passions of Kerala. They are open from 12-3PM and 6.30-11PM daily. Tomato rice banana leaf set. Rice and vegetables on the banana leaf is with unlimited refills. The first basket of Papadom is included but refills would be charged. The rice is served with chicken curry, fish curry and also dhal in small bowls. Deep fried pomfret. Fresh and piping hot makes it a must try. The other must try is the Mc Nair Fried chicken, fried to saffron brown and tasty too. My personal favourite the Masala Mutton. Best take with the rice. All in all the dishes costs from 5-6 for a single serving and relatively the environment is like a fine dining restaurant but with the price of your normal Mamak stall. Definitely recommended for more visits.

So what made me drop by this remote place far from the island of Penang?

So now you are in Langkawi and you don't even know where to get good reasonably priced food, looking at the KFC and McDonalds outlet at the Jetty point thinking where you should head for lunch or dinner. Sounds like you? Fret not. I have visited one of the restaurants there during the last trip which is definitely going to tickle your taste buds. Introducing Weng Fung Seafood restaurant. Damm this is starting to sound like an ad but seriously the food is real good and I am not paid to write this. Look closely... No pork...Reminds me of the good old "no pok, no pok" audio. Fresh lobsters right from the sea daily into the tank Mantis prawns. They are huge about 15cm or more compared to those 5-10cm guys you get from the market. Flower crabs fresh from the sea, kept in the tank for display. What you see is what you get. Fresh fishes in icebox. More fishes!! Big prawns? I assure you these are giant prawns. Look at the size of those things. 1 was never enough? Think again Stea...
