WILDLIFE WITHIN ONE’S GRASP

By Kamila Delart

SEE ALSO: WILDLIFE PARK LANGKAWI

Living in a river chalet surrounded by lush tropical greenery, I don’t have to go far to experience wildlife. I’m sharing my house with geckos and lizards. And just sipping my morning coffee on the porch, I get to see hornbills, and occasionally even a lizard claiming up a palm, or sea otters splashing water in the stream.

So Langkawi’s WILDLIFE PARK was for a long time not on the top of my priority list. A mistake - as it turns out!  When I finally visited this beautiful place, I couldn’t get myself to leave and nearly missed my next appointment scheduled four hours later! But let me start from the beginning on…

LANGKAWI’S TRENDY RESTAURANTS  -  by Kamila Delart

BEACH GARDEN

Bistro and Beergarden

PANTAI CENANG

Tel:  +60 4 - 955 1363
Email:    info@beachgardenresort.com

www.beachgardenresort.com

Operating Hours:  from 8am
Kitchen closes at 10.30pm

Opened by the German foodie Wolfgang 23 years ago when Pantai Cenang was a sleepy fishermen village, the Beach Garden passed the test of time with flying colors - bursting at the seams although surrounded by hundreds of other culinary outlets today.

Situated directly on the beach, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Andaman Sea and the cozy feeling of warm sand between your toes. Airy canopies above the dining tables provide soothing shade and shelter from an unexpected rain shower.

While loved for its laid-back atmosphere, the sophisticated dark-red table clothes hint that the cuisine served has class. And indeed, J.J. Graf, the Executive Chef from Switzerland, used to spoil with his culinary creations discerning guests on 5* Cruise Liners of Sheraton and Hilton and in award-winning resorts all over the world.
