My Langkawi Story Part 2

After a short walk along the Chenang beach, we headed to Coco Valley where the shop sells duty free chocolates, liquors and perfumes mostly.
We were surprised that the liquors were so cheap that we can't believe our eyes. It is cheaper than a bottle of mineral water. Rm1.30 for a can of SKOL Beer and Rm2.50 for a bottle of Carlsberg. OMG!

We grabbed some of the liquors to drink in the hotel later and we also bought some chocolates as souvenirs.

After that, we walked around the two long shop lots along the beach. The architecture of the shops presented Bali-feel to us. Most of the shops are uniquely built and we cant stop taking pictures of them.




After snapping pictures of here and there, we decided to take our dinner at Orkid Ria Restaurant. They served Chinese cuisines and fresh seafood.

The price is average for noodles and rice but it is a bit costly for the fresh seafood compared to the price in my hometown, Sandakan.


The restaurant has nice ambience which makes it great for you to dine in.


We ordered 1 dozen of satay, 3 plates of beef fried rice, vege and a plate of noodles.


Our friend helped us to snap this photo.


After dinner, we drove back to hotel. All of us felt really really tired after the long way to Langkawi. Our room number is 1324 which sounds bad in chinese translation. 1324 in chinese means 'once you are born you are easily to die'..
Plus, the surrounding of the hotel is way too creepy at night.

Especially the green dim lights at the main entrance of the hotel. It makes the driver very difficult to locate the entrance..

Some of the lights along the hotel went flickering all night. We often lost our way when we walked back to our room. No lift and it has many staircases that lead to the next floor. It will confuse you and makes it more like a haunted mansion than a three star hotel...

After resting for a while, we went to have a night view at Chenang Beach. We viewed nothing at the beach because it was too dark and we could only hear the waves hitting the shore..
