    Wanted fish & chips but was turned away, we ended Wanted fish & chips but was turned away, we ended up at The Kalapa Cafe by TRV close to the less glam but nice beach of Langkawi at Tanjung Rhu.
The pasta with tiger prawns looked fancy and carries a hint of local influence, especially with regards to spicy level.
Those sour plum infused drinks were pretty good too. Not a bad place to spend a relaxing lunch on the island.
