CNY07@Langkawi

Went to Langkawi during this Chinese new year. The AirAsia tickets were bought way back last year during promotion period. I don't even remember how much is the air ticket.
This is my third visit to Langkawi. The first time was with my family when i was only 13 years old if not mistaken. The 2nd time was my high school graduation trip.





We rented a Sentra sedan for our 4 days 3 nights stay here. It was a lil too pack for 6 of us but we decided to go for it as renting a SUV would cost us double the price. Holiday Villa hotel is awesome and comes with a daybed so each of us can sleep comfortably. Too bad i forgot to take a photo of the room. Anyone going to Langkawi, Holiday Villa is definitely not a bad one. Go here to check out yourself: http://www.holidayvillalangkawi.com/accomodation.html

We had our first dinner at Fat Mum Restaurant located just along the road opposite our hotel. This particular restaurant was recommended by forumers at cari.com.my... the food was ok but not cheap though. 6 of us ordered a siakap fish, sotong, tofu, vege and egg for RM100++ KL price =_="

Langkawi is famous for being an duty free island. Hence, it's a heaven to enjoy liquour ciggy and chocolate shopping!! n_n I went crazy for chocolate shopping. Some of the chocs you can hardly get it over at KL.



A new MUST visit spot in Langkawi is Skybridge @ Oriental Village. We took cable car to the hill top and the view is just amazing.



We went for brunch at this Korean restaurant - Han Kok Gun. Best korean food i had so far and it's actually not expensive. I like their appetizers including their kim chi *Yummy*




We went for island hopping on our 3rd day. The package inclusive of visiting to Pulau Beras besar, Lake of the pregnant maiden and eagle feeding. I've been to Pulau Beras besar and the lake on my 2nd visit here with my classmates but have never seen the eagle feeding before. So i was actually quite excited on this particular activity. The boat driver threw chicken meats into the sea as bait while we wait for the eagle to get 'em.





After coming back to the hotel from island hopping, we rest for a while and then went out for food hunting again. At first we went to Coconut sunset beach restaurant and thought we could have our dinner while enjoying the sunset there. Unfortunately, the sun doesn't set untill 7 something >_<

We had our dinner at Unkaishan Japanese restaurant after witnessing the best sunset ever. The chef and waitresses there are all Japs. Each of us ordered a don (rice) set. We also ordered a grilled lobster, a teriyaki lobster and shabu shabu. I especially like the combination of teriyaki sauce and lobster meat. *Drooling*

Apparently, my friend found out that Unkaishan is actually listed as Malaysia's best restaurant in 2005. I haven't taste all Jap restaurant in m'sia yet so no comment on this title but personally the food is yummy for me, i'll rate 4 out of 5 for its food and services.

This wrap up my Langkawi trip. A great place for holiday even though the beach may not be as beautiful as redangs. Heaven for choc, ciggy and liquor lovers n_n
