Popular Restaurants | Miscellaneous Restaurants Tips | All Tips (26) Said to be the best restaurant in the resort, although very good, we didn't think it was patch on Dinner on the Rocks.
There is a choice of fish and seafood - all freshly caught that day - and cooking methods.
For starter we have prawn and mago in filo pastry with a chilli dip and lobster bisque.
Neither of us being real fish lovers, we both choose stir fried beef with black pepper sauce.
Dessert: Mango and pineapple strudel and apple tart.
Being my birthday, David has ordered a cake for me, but it never arrives. The table next to ours do get one, and we share theirs. I'm glad mine didn't arrive, as I didn't like it very much (that may not be the fault of the cake - I'm not very fond of cakes)
Stir fried beef with black pepper sauce - very tender and absolutely delicious. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average |
The bar/cafe by the pool serves lunches only and has a shortish snack menu. It's the first time I've seen a pool bar with starched linen tablecloths and napkins. Excellent service. The second day the waiter knows my name and greets me with the comment: "A Tiger Beer I think Mrs Howard?" Have I got a reputation as a drinker already?
Limited menu with things like crab with chilli dip, pizza, fish & chips, burgers and bruchettas.
Some evenings they have live musicians there, they are very good and the music is not so loud as to be a nuisance if you want an early night.
The steak sandwich is the best I've ever had!
The steak is 1.5cm thick and I am asked how I want it cooked! It is served with potato wedges.
Also the pineapple relish served with the burgers Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average |
Normally held on a wooden terrace set amongst the rocks over the sea - hence the name - but tonight there is the danger of rain, so the tables are laid up under the roof of the beach club instead.
The evening is more akin to a dinner party - everybody eats the same food at the same time. Transport is laid on from the main hotel in a Land Cruiser, not the normal mini bus.
The scene is very romantic and very unusual. There is only seven guests here tonight, on three tables. Little fairy ights are strung out between the trees on the beach, and the palm trees are lit up from below giving a very eerie look. Sounds of the waves and the geckoes add to the atmosphere.
A quiet three pice band playing in the background accepts requests from all the tables.
First Course: Stuffed rice wrapped in banana leaf with crab and beansprout salad. Delicious
Second Course: Chicken and vegetable consomme. Very tasty
Third Course: Lime sorbet served in goblets made from ice with flowers and leaves fron into them. Very impressive and refreshing
Fourth Course: White snapper in cream sauce with bok choy, split peas and sliced potatoes with cheese.
Fifth Course: Heartshaped cheesecake with a chocolate edge, chocolate straws and coulis of strawberry and passion fruit. Served with fresh strawberries and lychees.
I have never before come across White Snapper, and I will say it is the best fish I have ever had. Slightly crisp coating (not batter), beautifully moist and soft flesh. Very, very, very good Leave a Comment |

The whole concept of this restaurant is totally different. There is no menu as such. You choose what you want (from a list of ingredients) and how you want it cooked.
Initially I found the concept a little intimidating, as I usually like to be inspired by descriptions of food before I order, but once the waiter points me in the right direction, the whole thing flows.
We choose a selection of dishes: Spicy chicken with cashew nuts, beef with chilli and garlic, tiger prawns, steamed rice and watercress soup
The chilli and Garlic Beef is very tasty indeed, not so spice that it burns your mouth but hot enough to be interesting. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average |
The Samudra is the restaurant where they serve Malay food. It's built on stilts over the sea and has a nice ambiance, particularly at dinner time. I found the food average here. The service was very good though. Leave a Comment |
This restaurant serves chinese food and it's named after its chef, Uncle Lim. There is no menu, when you are at the table the waiters tell you what dishes they have for the day, according to the fresh fish or seafood they have. The restaurant is decorated with chinese motivs. I had an incredile tasteful meal one of the days and an excellent service but the next day it was the complete opposite. Bad food and bad service, so i was a bit disappointed the second time. You have to book a table well in advance, specially if the resort is full.

This is the restaurant bar by Emerald Bay, the lovely Pangkor Laut beach. It has several tables outside and serves light lunches. You can have satays, calamari, sandwiches and salads. The food is really good and the service excellent. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Pangkor Laut Resort |
A choice of Western or Malaysian menu. David has steak, whereas I try the set Malaysian dinner:
Chicken Satay, Fish in Coconut sauce, Beef Rendang, Green beans in sauce and steamed rice, followed by Green Tea Creme Brulee.
Beef Rendang! Leave a Comment |
Wooden seats a little up from the beach, some on a covered terrace, some on the sand.
They serve drinks and snack, and we are talking SNACKS now, not lunch!
We order peppered beef, spring rolls and samosas, thinking we have a fairly subsatncial lunch. Wrong! They are very tasty, but more like a coctail snack than a proper "dish". We go back to the main pool area for a "proper" lunch after! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average |
Choice of cooked breakfast, either western or Oriental, omelette with a choice of fillings, cold meats and cheeses, many different ypes of fruit, several flavours of yogurt, 10 different pastries.
View over one of the pools and terrace areas, with monkeys frolicking in the trees between the pool and the hill villas, and a peacock strutting his stuff on the terrace.
Omelette with cheese, onion, pepper and chilli. Leave a Comment Theme: Buffet |
