This restaurant is now located almost opposite the Casa del Mar Resort. Previously it was situated near the Pantai Tengah/Pantai Chenang junction. A favourite among local tourists, the food is good. You can select your choice of fresh seafood and have it cook to your liking. Prices reasonable.  Specialises in southern Thai Malay cuisine as well as Malaysian favourites -- so Thai that most of the staff communicate in Thai. They still get by with English, though. Try the succulent deep-fried fish in Thai sauce or ask for their recommendations.  Beers and spirits not allowed to be consumed on the premises.

Opening hours :
12.00 pm to 03.00 pm
06.00 pm to 12.00 am

Address :
Pantai Chenang (near Casa del Mar),

Cendol Pulut Kak Bedah

Moved from its original site near the Mata Air junction to Kg Bayas, this restaurant now sits right besides the 'Langkawi Highway' towards Kuah.' Still the basic, spartan rural Malay warung-style restaurant, Kak Bedah's popular cendol pulut keeps pulling in the crowd. Once featured in a local English magazine, which wrote about the cordiality of the owner and her Malay cooking skills. Don't expect any embellishments here. Its all about partaking of a slice of rural Langkawi life and its down-to-earth style. No pretensions.  The new restaurant overlooks an abandoned padi land at the back. 

Opening hours:
9.00 am to 6.00 pm

Location:
Kg Bayas, near Gamat Nusantara across the road (shifted from the old location at Jalan Mata Air).
