The best thing to do on a cold and rainy day is eating bak kut teh. It just warms the stomach. Went to Restoran Ah Ping Bak Kut Teh last night. The shop is located at SS14 area, Subang Jaya. We’ve ordered bak kut teh for 1 pax, vegetable and “you tiao”.

The soup of the bak kut teh was flavourful, perhaps because it had been boiling all day. Its not too thick with herbs and pepper’s smell, its just nice. There’s all sorts of ingredients in the pot of bak kut teh. We have the straw and button mushrooms, fat and lean meats, “fu zuk” and the “internal spare parts”.

The vegetable was not bad, the only thing dissapointing was the rice. They serve it with plain rice, instead of yam rice. Also, we’ve ordered herbal drinks for each of us. It has a strong taste of chrysanthemum and its sweet.

Also, there are some other bak kut teh stalls at this area. PP and I have tried some of them, but we still felt that we should recommend this shop. Food here is good enough, especially for those like us that are lazy to travel all the way to klang for bak kut teh.

Mukhtar, the owner of the Breakfast Bar, is known by everyone all round Cenang. He is a great person and not at all untypical of restaurant owners in Langkawi. They don’t just own the business and handle the profits but are actively involved in the day-to-day running of the place and take time to sit with and talk to the customers. Also, he is a teh tarik master. You must taste his teh tarik.. hmmmm.

Breakfast Bar is a cheap-and-delicious breakfast bar in Pantai Cenang. A must-go! Its one of our favourite breakfast place at Langkawi. This great eating place is nicely decorated with a tropical garden setting. You will love the gazebo-like structure and the green surrounding. It has beautiful ocean views too. The specialties are Western and Malaysian breakfasts. Ooh.. you can get some yummy and fresh baguettes here too.

Our american breakfast set comes with 2 slices of toast bread with butter and jam, scrambled egg, and coffee. Mukhtar’s special omelette comes with mushroom, onion, turkey ham, tomato and potato. We’ve also ordered extra 2 slices of toasts with butter and jam and a banana pancake. Breakfast Bar is a decent eatery with great choices and most importantly, affordable.

Malay food is the other thing that you must try when you’re at Langkawi. PP and I loves to eat ikan bakar and kerang bakar. Restoran Hj. Ramli is one of the malay stalls that we’ve tried out when we’re there.

Formerly located near the intersection of Jalan Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah, this restaurant is now situated smack in the centre of busy Pantai Cenang. Bigger this time around, Restoran Hj. Ramli specialises in southern Thai Malay seafood as well as Malaysian favourites — so Thai that most of the staff communicate in Thai. They still get by with English, though.

We’ve ordered two of the “hairtail scad” fish (cencaru), one cooked with sambal and another one BBQ. Also, we’ve ordered BBQ cockles (kerang bakar), kampung fried rice and some drinks. You must try the BBQ fish (ikan bakar) or ask for their recommendations.

This restaurant is popular with Malay tourists but that does not mean others are not welcome. Beers and spirits not allowed to be consumed on the premises. For the quality of food, the prices are very reasonable.
