Nelayan

Reviewed By Andrew Y - Singapore, Singapore

Was not expecting much other than a good view and an expensive price tag to go with it. To our surprise, the food was excellent and in generous portions. Had the tenderloin steak which was perfectly chargrilled, crusty on the outside, juicy on the inside, flavourful on every bite. The lobster bisque was also impressive. Grilled fish (Red Snapper) not to be missed. It was a good feast for the family and great service to go with it. I would have paid the price for the dining views of the sea, the cooling breeze, and the company of the shimmering stars. We got more much more than that. Great dining experience! The friendly staff made it even better.

Di Atas Sungai

Reviewed By vwongwt - Malaysia

As part of resident package, buffet breakfast was covered and dinner was a choice of Appetizer, 3 dishes and dessert.
Buffet breakfastwas typical of most higher end resorts and hotel with enough variety. Particularly liked the fresh croissants, nasi dagang, roti jala. Everything was executed well and service was good.
For dinner, there is a menu sorted by the type of protein, Chef Ann or Chef Maz will drop by the table to take your order and recommend dishes. The best part is that cooking styles are flexible and they are will to accommodate requests that are not part of the menu. Food came out piping hot and well seasoned. Of note was the Butter Milk Prawns and we personally liked the sizzling black pepper venison and claypot seafood, tofu & vegetables combo. Flavours are bold and robust which we liked. If you like something more bland or less bold you can let the Chef know. Appetizers are limited and usually given soup while desserts menu limited as well. Would love to see more Malaysian desserts choices.
Overall both dinners we had there were up to expectations and the staff are very pleasant and professional.

Restoran Golden Dragon

Reviewed By Angel b - Kota Bharu, Malaysia

Went there on Friday night and KT town was extraordinarily crowded. We got no direction where to have our dinner as most of the restaurants are full. We ended up in this restaurant because of the friendliness of the lady boss.
The food served very fast and it was delicious esp the steam fish. However the oyster in oyster egg was not that fresh. We enjoyed our dinner and the price was lower than we expected.

Wee Seafood

Reviewed By sheronlee - Malacca, Malaysia

This is no frill restaurant. However, the food is pretty tasty and the price is cheap. We went there for dinner in 2 different occasions whilst staying in Tanjong Jara. We tried the squid fritters, fried fish with oyster sauce and stir fried kailan on the first night. The squid are great but the oyster sauce is too overpowering causing the fish to be salty. On the 2nd occasion we tried hot plate bean curd (amazing), lemon chicken (so-so), bean sprout (ok) and har lok prawn (not bad).
It is a good place to dine if you are in Tanjong Jara area as there are not many Chinese restaurants in this area.

Reviewed By sheronlee - Malacca, Malaysia

The restaurant is very small and service is very slow. When we went there at about 2.30pm on a Saturday, many of the tables were still not cleared. The staff are not friendly and very impatient. The food is a let down. The chicken rice...MoreWe are sorry to disappoint you Sheron. We will improve further on our food and service!

Ewan Cafe

Reviewed By Eric C

The island is generally quite pricey. So this place was one of two places I loved.
The place is located roughly in the middle of the long beach and coral beach and it is unmistakable as there is only 1 restaurant on the route between the Beaches.
The place is clean. Strong fans makes it a great place to chill out and they have chess boards to play with.
The food is good and price is cheap. Really cannot complain the place as they also have WiFi (slow but it works).
The turmeric chicken was amazing. Buy plain rice with it and you're ready for a tasty experience.

Reviewed By Mandy T - Anglesea, Australia

We didn't eat here but bought freshly squeezed juices and snacks. The food looks really good. No alcohol for sale. It also rents snorkelling and diving gear and runs tours. It was handy for us because it was close to our room at the Taaras.

Tuna Bay Island Resort

Reviewed By Jess B

I booked onto Besar as I wanted to see both Islands and this was the most economical option. I had an enormous bungalow which was very clean but really dated.
Food in the restaurant was okay but not cheap.
Wifi only works in the restaurant area if that's a deal breaker for you.
The restaurant/bar closes as soon as people finish dinner so it's not very sociable if you're not there with people you already know.

this is the original coffee shop to have your typical breakfast without breaking your bank.
unlike Sukiyang ( owned by the daughter) which charged almost double with the modern concept and prices compatible with KL.
make sure to order the toast bun and nasi dagang !!

- solid menu with many options, expanded on during diner with fresh seafood available from the barbecue
