Cherating Beach Restaurants

It's a very plain looking restaurant...so don't expect any fancy interior...but that's what they say "never judge a book by its cover".

I had really nice ikan bakar n other seafood here. You can get get fresh fishes, crabs, squids, prawns n other seafood with very reasonable price.

The thing is you have to be quick. The place is a big hit at night.

Favorite Dish: I love its "sotong goreng tepung"...crunchy on the outside but very soft inside served with a very tasty sweet n spicy dipping.

This restaurant is situated outside of the Cherating area. However, a quick drive will lead you into Terengganu and into the Kemaman area. Should you be on the look out for Chinese food, this is an option. Drive time is approximately 20 or 30 mins from memory. Please check with the locals as I forget.

In Chukai, drive around and look for this restaurant which is opposite the public car park with a nice view of the bay (I think you could call it a bay or inlet ?).

As I'm allergic to shellfish - I had the fish and other vegetables. Saw many people enjoying their stuffed crabs and deduced that it must be good!

(Got it off their tissue pack!)

The restaurant must be popular (looking at other VT reviews) and there were many people there at lunch time with hardly any tables left. Could have possibly resulted due to the fact that it was a public holiday that we were there.

Ask for their specialty. Choose from the variety of fresh fish and other sea catches. The ikan (fish) bakar lived up to the expectations from other reviews given. I'd give it a thumbs up.

If you see the road to club med and the turtle sanctuary on your right, travel for approximately 50 - 100 meters and the restaurant is on your left. Ample parking is available.

Typical basic decor of coffe shop found in Singapore n Malysia in the sixties.Established in 1940,the owner has handed over to the second generation but still sits there every day to observe.It's a favourite haunt of locals as well as out of towners for breakfast n tea breaks

Favorite Dish: The cofffe is freshly brewed and the toast spread with butter or kaya (local coconut jam)is simply delicious!
