Langkawi Family Trip (Places to Eat)

Overall kinda disappointed with the foods in Langkawi
because after Langkawi, we went to Penang Island, the foods were like from Hell to Heaven 

DAY 1
-Lunch ——Telaga Arabic
we reached Langkawi and had our very late lunch at Telaga Arabic
the foods were not bad, we ordered Lamb Kabsah, Kebab and a fried rice with squid 
drinks are soft drink, ice lemon tea and coffee (we shared the 3 drinks, because its almost time for dinner)
Cost: RM94

-Dinner —— Sawadee Restaurant (NOT recommended)
we had our dinner at Sawadee Restaurant ( I forgotten the full name of the restaurant, it is available on the map)
the foods are not nice and not worth the price, seafoods are not fresh
and the fish fillet available in the TomYam is Dory fish, which you can get from market, not the local fresh fish
the clams were not fresh too
the beef were so hard (most probably from India)
very disappointed with the foods
we also ordered Heinken and Carlsberg, which is totally not recommend to order
one Carlsberg cost RM2.50 in duty free store next to the restaurant
and the Carlsberg in the restaurant cost RM5.00
A very disappointing dinner for the night 
Cost: RM174

DAY 2
-Breakfast —— Breakfast bar
A lovely place, the staffs are so energized and warmth
nothing much to say about the place, you should find out yourself
its a nice place to have breakfast
Cost: RM35

-Lunch —— German stalk in Oriental Village food court
we ordered a steak, spaghetti carbonara and a meatballs with fries
steak is impressive 
spaghetti just a light one, not very creamy
meatballs were a bit salty 
overall, its nice but I just found out I only have the picture of steak and our soft drinks
Cost: RM63

-Dinner —— Yong Leong Seafood Restaurant (NOT recommended)
we drive all the way from Cenang Beach to Kuah for this restaurant
the online reviews were not bad, so we decided to try this out
but too bad, maybe we are experts of seafoods (we stay near the beach)
this restaurant is just disappointed and DISHONEST
we reached and order the foods
we did have some request regard to the seafoods
1) it must be from sea and not reared (Dishonest)
2) it must be fresh (Dishonest)
the waiter said all the seafoods they have are caught from the sea and fresh
so we ordered Garouper fish, clams, prawns, tofu and vege
my dad walk pass their kitchen and found out the Garouper fishes were not caught from sea but reared 
so we changed to another fish choosed by dad on the spot, around 300-400g fish
the clams were not fresh at all, we just had little bit of it and left about 80% on the plate
when we got the bill, we noticed the fish is rounded up to 500g (Dishonest)
will never come back to this restaurant again
Cost: RM134

DAY 3
-Breakfast —— Atisan Pizza (Cenang Beach)
we had Hawaiian pizza 11' , mushroom soup and vege spaghetti
the pizza is crispy and nice
mushroom soup is normal 
vege spaghetti is a bit oily but still its nice
Cost: RM59

OVERALL, it is a HAPPY BREAKFAST and SAD DINNER trip~

Langkawi Family Trip (Places to Visit)

we only have approximately 2 days to visit the places in Langkawi
by the time we reach Cenang Beach, its almost 1pm
had some foods and head to motel, however, motel check-in time delayed to 3pm
so we decided to go to the Underwater World first
just 2 minutes drive from motel
Last visit time for Underwater World: 6pm
Ticket fare: Adults  RM38 (without MyKad) / RM28 (with MyKad)
                  Children (3-12 years old) RM28 (without MyKad) / RM18 (with MyKad)
                  Malaysian Senior Citizen (50 years old & above) RM22 (with MyKad)
(If you have a student ID, it charges at RM22/person，prepared all the IC and ID because it charged according to the ID and IC you gave, if you do not give any ID/IC, it will charge at RM38/person)

we did not visit to all the places in Langkawi because of the time limit
we went to Langkawi Cable Car on the next day
we reached around 10.30am but we only manage to take the cable car at 2pm
it is very time consuming, but there is an Oriental Village for a short visit while waiting for cable car
Ticket fare: Adult RM30.00(without MyKad)  RM15(with MyKad)
                  Child RM20.00(without MyKad)  RM10(with MyKad)
(prepared your IC in advanced, if you were to buy the VIP ticket, which you do not need to wait for the long queue the Ticket fare = normal rate + RM50)

DO NOT visit the Black Sand Beach and Burnt Rice Field
both places are just worthless
the Black Sand Beach is just a small small beach with a little bit of charcoal ash
Burnt Rice Field even worst, it is just a small area of field with nothing
its about the history, people at old time burnt their rice on that field
we just speechless when we reach there

Langkawi Family Trip (Basic Information)

Going to Langkawi Island for a 3 days 2 nights trip with family

departed from Kuala Kedah Jetty to Kuah Jetty

Boat fare: RM23/ person (one way)

if you were to leave your car at jetty, please go early and try to search for a parking near the jetty 

there will have some people that request you with school parking but the price is a bit high, around RM35/day

Going from Kuala Kedah to Langkawi needed 1 hour and 45 minutes, prepare some candy if necessary
plastic bag is available in the boat for vomit purpose

My advice: Do not book any trip or cars while waiting for your boat, the people there will always tell you, you will not get the car in Langkawi if you didn't make booking there, DON'T GET FOOLED, you can always get to book the car in Kuah

Reached Langkawi and finding a car for rent
compared a few company (Must compare!! some cars are just over priced and must ask clearly about the rental charged, some car charge by hours, 24 hours consider a day, if you travel 3 days 2 nights, reached Langkawi by 12pm then you just need to pay for 2 days/48 hours and return the car before 1pm on the 3rd day, do not exceed the time because it charged RM10/hour for extra)
We got a Nissan Sentra for RM135/24hours，rented for 48 hours
when we got the car, the car has very little petrol and the nearest petrol station is 5 minutes away
easy to find with map, map is free of charge but becareful with the version, get the latest version
Car Rental: RM135/24hours+RM100 deposit

Place to stay was book in advance using Asiaroom website
I choosed a motel near Cenang Beach, Cenang Beach is the most happening beach
there have everything you need, if you are not interested with cable car and drive around Langkawi
you can take a cab to Cenang Beach (cost around RM20/way)
I booked Adlina Drive-in Motel, the motel did surprised me
it is clean and basic facilities were ok (just the TV is small, but we don't need TV)
it is like a chalet type, with 2 queen size beds
Adlina Drive-in Motel: RM110/ night

***** If you were to buy liquor, PLEASE keep the boat or flight tickets on the day you arrived
For 3 days 2 nights, each person could bring 1L of liquor and 2 rows of cigarette out from Langkawi
tickets is a prove in case of Kastam checking

***** I would suggest you all to buy the liquor and chocolates at The Zon and Coco Valley in Cenang Beach and not Kuah, because the price is different, HUGE DIFFERENT!!! especially DO NOT BUY at Jetty!!!!!!!!!!!
