Laurie's World

Well, I successfully accomplished my goal of actually doing almost nothing for the 2.5 days here in Langkawi. To reiterate…..that was our plan and why we chose to come here. We chose a place with a great pool so that we could just sit by it. So we didn’t even go for a walk today….other than to find food for supper. So these are my choices of topics today, either talk about the pool or talk about food, because thats all there was to our day. I know when we get home, life will be back in full force so i don’t even feel bad about this.

The breakfast here is kind of crazy….there are eggs made to order, waffles, toast, cereal and fruit, and a tonne of other food that is not breakfast food. Pasta, Asian food, Indian food….so we eat breakfast food : ) can’t quite eat baked ziti or lamb stew for breakfast. But we do eat well enough that we don’t feel like lunch at lunch time, so usually leaves us very hungry at supper time.

After an amazing day of pool side antics, we set off in search of good Indian food. Sounds probable doesn’t it?? If you have ever heard about Malaysian culture, supposedly Indian food is all over the place. So after walking and walking and rejecting the restaurant that has RABBIT burgers….YES. I said…rabbit burgers (even with cheese!) on the menu. We finally found an open air place that had a menu posted on the wall that had naan, chicken tikka and butter chicken on it. So we decided to give this a whirl. The dude comes over and we start to order. We asked for butter chicken, he says “we don’t have that” so I say, “ok we will have chicken tikka”, he says “no. We don’t have that”. We say, what do you have? He says “tandoori chicken”. Ok….so we order tandoori chicken. And 2 orders of naan. He says “you want butter naan, garlic naan, cheese naan etc etc….” We say garlic naan : ) he seems super annoyed by us…..
Then we see mutton kebab on the menu, so when he brings us our waters, we ask for mutton kebab. He says “we don’t have that-we have tandoori chicken”- Jeez….ok….we get it. We are having tandoori chicken and naan.

But we see all these other people with big plates of food, rice and meat with sauce (looks a lot like butter chicken for example). We are literally the only losers with a chicken breast and a piece of bread! So not sure if this was a joke or not….so we ate it, paid and left. I should have taken a picture of it….but was so rattled by the experience, I just moved on. I did however take a picture of the burger we got AFTER we left the indian place….Hahahahahahahaha….now this was good!
