Maybe the seafood in Langkawi is the same or more expensive than Klang but I am very sure it taste better in Langkawi. I am an angler in Langkawi and I know the prawns there are not 'pukat tarik' prawns and they are 'pukat hanyut' type, meaning the prawns are caught when they are drifting in the sea and not squashed like the trawler nets. And normally they are served the next day it was caught and not like Klang where they are sold to middleman and then reseller and then market and then restaurants which is about 3 to 4 days old.

I have never consume any seafood since I am in KL, not fresh like Langkawi. In Langkawi, eats prwans with the least sauce like steamed and the taste of the prawns are nice. In Klang I have tried their steamed prawns and they don't taste fresh and they are good only with heavy tasting sauce which actually overwhelms the taste of prawn itself.

Another tip I can give is eat at restaurants like Orchid where you can choose your seafood. Walk up to their ice bin and choose the fish or prawns. If you see fishes all the same size, don't choose that. They are cultured fish, meaning sangkar ikan fishes. If you see uneven sizes then they are all fish in the sea manually(using pancing) and these taste better.

The ikan bawal putih (pak chong) are also locally netted. Teo Seafood specialises in 'Pek Chneoh Moi' or bawal porridge. Very nice there. He also specialises in 'Hoo Tow Bi Hoon' and normally barracudda is used and not 'soong yee' like in KL. Very nice actually in Teo's Seafood,

Yong Loong is good. A lot of local visit here. Non halal though.

can anyone recommend a good itinery to langkawi?

Plan to go this sat till next tue. Going with my bf and we both love the beach, sightseeing and spending good time together.

Trip would best be budget and cheap and yet we would like to see what langkawi has to offer. It has been more than 15yrs since we both had set foot there so big changes are to be expected right?

We would like specifically like to visit the famous suspending bridge somewhere in the island.

For tours and sightseeing you guys reckon we rent a car to get around since the island is pretty big?

So need help here, those who have been there please recommend and help me design my itinery for a 4d3n trip to langkawi, including the hotels (best if got price) with nice beaches, tour attractions to see and getting around. Cheers!

All the recommended itineraries (Links), car rental Tourist attractions & etc posted on pg1

Only if you have specific queries you can ask here....

hi bro mind sharing the price for jetski and banana boat?

Hi chester,

the price for banana boat is rm10 per person, jet ski is rm120 for half an hour and para sailing is rm70 per round

BUT we made a deal with them, we took banana boat for 6 person, 3 jet skis and 3 para sailing all for rm500

we (actually the girls) nego kau kau and they finally gave us this price

so we pay rm60 for banana boat (6 person), rm300 for 3 jet ski, rm 140 for 3 para sailing



initially the guy give rm50 for para sailing (discount rm20) and rm110 for jet ski (dicount rm10) because we have 6 person but...the girl managed to reduce further....

we give them the idea of either rm500 or rm0...choose now...lol

oh ya..because of this.....they made us flew off our banana boat in less than a minute time...dem!!

You get what you paid for bro

u can get it almost anywhere in langkawi rm3.90 per bottle

I told you so...Wonderland prices not cheap ler. I also almost fainted when I saw the bill last time. You are smarter, u asked and went. Me, I asked but my mum ooh ahh over the Mat Sallehs there, say they also eat, so must be good.

I need help in choosing hotels.

Aseania or Langkawi Boutique is better? The package I took supposedly Langkasuka or Helang but the person in charge said Langkasuka is under renovation and Helang doesn't accept reservation from agent ATM.

Need help asap. Thanks.

Aseania better than Langkawi Boutique for me. Just curious, why everyone go Langkawi must choose Langkasuka?

Maybe the reputation perhaps
The image I saw at the langkawi-hotels website shows Aseania looks better.

The cheapest so called 4 star hotel is Langkasuka. But it is too old and badly maintained. Aseania looks nice in brochures but there's a lot of complaints about them. Still the best is Awana.

Langkasuka closed liao no meh??

Closed for renovation, as they say. They said that too when they closed Delima Resort. LOL
