Siti Fatimah

Top choice in Pulau Langkawi


This is possibly Langkawi’s most famous destination for Malay food – and it lives up to its reputation. Come mid-morning, dozens of rich curries, grilled fish, dips, stir-fries and other Malay-style dishes are laid out in a self-service buffet. The flavours are strong and the prices low. It’s located on Jln Kampung Tok Senik; most taxi drivers know the place.
