We spotted a Chinese Hainanese chicken rice shop opposite of Underwater World when we walked to McD's as the pick up point to our island hopping tour. Cenang Kopitiam opens only from 8am. We were excited to see some steamed chickens and fried chickens hanging from the window display so we decided that we will be having lunch there after the island hopping.
Unfortunately by the time we finished the tour and the driver dropped us back at McD's, it was way after 2pm. When we dropped in Cenang Kopitiam, there wasn't any chicken rice left. Sold out even before noon time, according to the owner!!
However since we were there and everyone was either tired or hungry, we decided to settle for anything that they had to offer. No more chicken rice but they had other food as well.
The lady boss recommended us their nice fried fish cake. So we had a plate of that. Indeed, it was good.
I was very hungry so I ended up having its nasi lemak. Fried chicken with my nasi lemak for me. Slightly fragrant rice, spicy hot sambal and crispy anchovies, their nasi lemak was just nice.
Only me having rice for lunch, while the others went for their handmade noodles. Handmade noodle topped with fried shallots and crispy anchovies (pan mee style) with a bowl of soup with 2 big fish balls. Springy ball, as I tasted one. And our lunch bill?? Over RM80 plus drinks.
We did came back the next morning, because we told the lady boss that we will be back for its chicken rice. It was our last day in Langkawi, so we walked all the way to Cenang Kopitiam for breakfast. The lady boss remembered us and again she took our order.
Hubby reordered its tasty fried fish cake to share around. And he asked for half boiled egg and butter and kaya toast as well. He took the egg while toast was shared between me, Jan and Jay.
Jay and Jan went for the handmade noodles that they enjoyed the day earlier. The rest of us went for chicken rice. Yes, we were having chicken rice for breakfast!! Hubby and I were having steamed chicken, so we shared a quarter portion of steamed chicken.
Jamie wanted fried chicken rice instead, so this was his serving.
Total bill slightly over RM100 inclusive of drinks. Not cheap meal at all but it was a nice breakfast to have before we crossed the road to duty free mall (Coco Valley that is next to Water world), walked back to our motel, packed, checked out and went to Langkawi International Airport to take our flight to KLIA, and then transit to Kuching.
That's it!! Our KL and Langkawi holiday has come to an end. Everyone had a great time although lots of walking, rain and sun but it was a nice family holiday. Don't think we will be going anywhere special this year. Jan will be busy with her school (elected as secretary in English Club), going into Form 5. Hubby is even more busy with work and other undertaking. So, not sure when would be our next family holiday. ^^ Till then, hope you guys enjoy my year end holiday diary. Thank you for reading and commenting!

It looks like a very satisfying meal and that steamed chicken looks very tender and juicy.
Wah, that shop so early in the day serves chicken rice already! Thanks for sharing about your nice vacation!
yea, gonna be a busy year as economy started to recover. Business is picking up and everyone's chasing their 'dreams'....LOL!
Nice & wonderful trip!
The name Cenang sounds familiar! School holidays starting end of next week! Where to this time?
Looks like the chickens from Cenang Kopitiam keep seducing your family and you until all of you went back to the shop for the second time. Hahaha.
RM80-100 for a meal is indeed not cheap but what to do, cause everywhere also inflation nowadays. Most importantly, your family and you have a wonderful holiday together.
