I remain confused as to why Andrew’s Kampung is so wildly popular among tourists while many other similar restaurants don’t get half the attention. The prices are very fair for what you get, but the food didn’t blow my mind and the ambience is mediocre. I think this is a cut and dried case of TripAdvisor sheeping. However, this place does have the one thing that other restaurants do not, which is Andrew himself, who seems like a naturally friendly guy. I am not disappointed by my visit here, but I do not think I would come back. The hour-long wait for a table and food (even at 9pm – far too late for the dinner rush, isn’t it?) are not worth it to me.
We also had the Sizzling Beef (RM17.90) served on a hotplate. The beef was tender and flavorful... so good!
The Pinang Restaurant & Bar currently offers the BBQ buffet on Fridays (Asian Barbeque) & Saturdays (Seafood Barbeque)
The restaurant is Pinang Bar & Restaurant which just next to the big swimming pool, walking through the swimming pool with the great big tree gave a very comfortable feeling and it definitely a great place to take some photo as well. The landscape is well taking care of and it is extremely clean as well. I like the pool design which has unique shape instead of boring square box, surrounding the pool with some rock and tree making it more relax and nice looking.
In the need of a charming spot to enjoy a sumptuous seafood dinner? Do check out Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa at Batu Ferringhi as the resort rolls out a special Seaside Barbecue feast. The Friday Asian Barbecue By The Sea proffers a wide range of grilled seafood with oriental seasonings and some Asian influence. Apart from the plethora of Seafood and Mains, diners can expect a salad bar and dessert counter, as well as a Char Koay Teow action stall (it will be Fried Ice Cream action stall on Saturdays). Buffet diners may also enjoy their house wines (Chardonnay and Shiraz) at happy-hour-prices to pair with the wonderfully prepared Seafood (not included in the buffet). Having a glass of White and some fresh Seafood in the middle of a stunningly breath-taking sunset view and a sea of glistening stars is indeed a memorable and enjoyable life moment.
