Cenang

From KLIA, we took MAS to Langkawi island. However due to bad weather (wind and rain), our pilot didn't immediately landed but instead made few rounds in the air.  Thanks to his expertise, he was able to maneuver the plane and landed safely on the laneway. 

Casa Idaman, Cenang

By the time we collected our luggage and called for car, it was pretty dark and the rain was still pouring down. We reached our accommodation, Casa Idaman motel in Cenang after 7pm. After checked in and kept our luggages in the room, we went out to Cenang Walk for dinner. 

Casa Idaman in the morning

The motel was right at the back of the starting point of Cenang Walk. Pretty strategic and quiet motel, away from the night life of Cenang Walk and just a minute walk away, and few more minutes (3 -4 minutes walk) to Cenang beach.


Wet and raining night in Cenang, and we were pretty hungry by then. Hubby saw good reviews on this restaurant so we decided to settle there for dinner. 

Full house but luckily we able to get a table. Most tables, we could see chilli crabs serving, but no, we didn't feel like it. 

We have this mushroom bread as starter. The kids especially Jay seemed to enjoy this bread. Probably he was ravenous so he was busy dipping the bread in the mushroom soup.

Then the lamb satay came. 6 sticks so enough for everyone. 
RM15

Jamie wanted this nuggets and chips, so we're having it and shared around.

RM25

A plate of fried mee hoon to share among us. Taste-wise, it was nice. 

RM12

The fried rice on the other hand was spicy, so the kids didn't take much of it. Hubby and I finished the fried rice. 
RM12

Lastly, we ordered this soft beancurd dish. Pretty steep price for a tofu dish though. Taste-wise, it was alright. 
RM25

My personal opinion : Food in Putumayo Restaurant was just so-so. And the price was steep!! Overall, food in Cenang was over-rated and expensive!! Tourist spot, so the price is also "attractive". All halal food. 


After dinner, we took a walk along the Cenang Walk but only a short stretch due to rain, and everyone was pretty tired after a long day. The longest walk we did was from our motel all the way to McDonald's Underwater World twice, two days in a row. That would be a story for another day. 

This was hubby's usual drinking place in Cenang. He has been there for a couple of nights.  I got to accompany him once, no beer for me. Just a nice mojito, so I got a nice sleep after that. Lol. 

 
The sun was bright and shining for the most of the time we were there. The next day, we went hunting for breakfast place, unsure of what we could find.  



Now that we could see how Cenang Walk looked like during the day. Quiet and empty. Not many shops were opened during the morning. 

We passed through the Cenang Walk to the beach. What a lovely scene. Beautiful and clean beach. 

We spent few minutes admiring the beach before walked back to Cenang Walk for food. We did came back to the beach that evening as the boys wanted to swim and play on the beach. Other than that day, we didn't visit the beach again. Throughout our stay, other than the first night we arrived in Langkawi, we didn't encountered any rain. There was short drizzle and thunder on our last night in Langkawi which hubby and I abandoned our plan of having drinks and hangout in Cenang Walk.

Nice hotel! Food looks great! Never heard of the place. I only knew Kuah town, been years since I went to Langkawi.

Why not chilli crab? I love them :-) 6 lamb satay skewers ain't enough for me alone.

I have never been to Langkawi. Usually tourist spots are very expensive and the restaurants really make a killing. Untung besar!

been to Langkawi twice, it is very tourist-centric and most foods are expensive.

Langkawi is a tourist location so it is expected that the prices are like in restaurants in KL shopping malls. I like Langkawi. Would like to visit it again. Good choice for your holidays! 👍
