Our Langkawi Trip - Part 1
we set off for Langkawi last weekend as it was a long weekend given that Monday was Labours Day.
A few months earlier, baby, while surfing on the net saw this cute guesthouse by Pantai Cherating. I think baby was impressed with the name more than anything else. oh, the name... Gecko Guesthouse. I supposed that sounds more exotic than the previous name Yati Guesthouse.
Anyway, Pantai Cherating is the closest beach from the airport and we don't really want to stay too close to Kuah town. It is packed with lotsa beach motels, western type cafe, souvenir shops and massage parlour. It's like a lil Khao San. You can easily see a mat salleh or 2 riding a scooter there with no helmet at all at any one time.
we like the beach there, soft sandy beach and it was also low tide when we went for our walk the moment we reached there. You can easily place a football field on the beach with plenty of space left for the spectators.
I, of course did something insensitive, i asked if it's a sign of tsunami... in case you don't know, the great 26 Dec 2005 South Asian tsunami did actually hit Langkawi but it was not reported much like say Phuket or Sri Lanka or Penang. Thank goodness no locals were nearby to chase us or curse us.
we finally figure out what to have for dinner after going through every single restaurant's menu listed outside respective premises. hahahaha... so unlike us... you bet.... but then again, whenever we go through a menu, we'll say something like.... Oooh Oooh, Baby, we gotta come back here to try their *(pancakes, pizza, milkshake, coffee, etc)
We had some a nasi pattaya (rice wrapped in thin slice of egg) and 2 cold drinks while waiting for the sunset. Chelsea v Man U was on tv too. i predicted Chelsea to win 3-0. they did. Ok... should have place some bet with some bookie... oh well. (truth: i said only 1 comment when the game was playing... Wouldn't it be good if Chelsea won by say 3-0? during the first 10 mins of the game.) Oh, mine you, i don't really follow EPL, La Liga or whatever and i hate it when The Sun newspaper only published football like its THE ONLY game we all knows. ok, back to my story bout the trip rather than on some game where 22 players and 3 or 4 referees go around chasing a ball.
Funny thing about Pantai Chenang's seafood industry.. they don't start selling ikan bakar till it's quite late. We only managed to eat 1 ikan kerisi (and dont' forget we had our nasi pattaya already).
walked around more after our 1st dinner and ended at a restaurant full with 'shims'. They were pretty friendly, too bad, i can't say the food is good though and a lil pricey. Feeling not completely satisfied with our 2nd dinner, we went to the beach to search for more food. sat by the beach for a lil while to enjoy the stars. went around a few places to look for a decent place to drink.
