Langkawi 2011 - Lunch at Bon Ton Resort

Being such a small resort with only 8 villas, it is surprising that Bon Ton boasts one of the best restaurants on Langkawi Island. The restaurant called Nam serves fusion Western and Asian cuisine with an emphasis on herbs and spices. There are dishes with Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian and Indian influences. There's also pasta and sandwiches.

We went to Bon Ton right after we landed in Langkawi and it was a real treat to have a great meal in a great setting.

The Chicken Satay were nicely grilled but tasted just ordinary. The sauce could be a bit more aromatic.

The MeeMamak was a bit better but still can't compete with its roadside cousin.

The best dish we had was this Nasi Campur which came with several delightful morsels of traditional Malaysian fare.

Right in front of the restaurant was a small but handsome looking Malay house which served as a reading room and pub for in house guests. It is beautifully decorated inside, and has a quiet verandah where you can sit and contemplate your next holiday destination.

The pricing at Nam is on the high side and similar to 5 star hotel standards. However considering the unique ambiance and beautiful surroundings, it is a price worth paying.
