FOOD

One of the best features of the resort is their food. OMG, do they serve incredible traditional Malay and Chinese cuisine! They also have American food like hamburgers and chicken fingers, but I don’t recommend them. You don’t go to Asia to eat food you can get back home. My favorite dishes were the chicken and beef satays (with to-die-for peanut sauce), roti (plain or egg and onion), rendang, spring rolls, and soups (the chilled mango soup was insane). Oh, man – writing about this makes me hungry! The resort has four restaurants; they can also set up a private barbecue on your balcony or the beach (for an extra charge), as they did for us one night. Food is not included in the rate, and you really have no other place to eat, so it’s best to purchase the dining package for 150 RM ($42) per person per day. Is that a great deal or what? The price includes all non-alcoholic drinks, of which they have a wide variety (including plenty of flavored ice teas). Dining at the resort is casual, so don’t worry about bringing fancy clothes.
