F&B @ The Andaman

Our experience for F&B in The Andaman was a great one. As mentioned in my previous post, during checking in we are served with a tasty welcome drink at their lounge. Mix fruit juice served in a handcrafted cup holder really cooled us down from the heat of the day.

When we check in at The Andaman, we were not informed by the resort staff that we will get discounted price for F&B like in Westin. But that does not stop us from exploring the dining experience at this marvelous 5 star resort. (Also in the fact that we are in a deserted area of Langkawi, that we will not find any restaurant around in 30 mins driving distance :p) The Andaman have a few restaurants on their Hall of Fame for our selection. And we decided to try their Japanese Restaurant for dinner. We made a reservation in advanced as the resort staffs did advised us to do so just in case the table are fully occupied.

At 8.30pm we presented ourselves at the Japanese Restaurant and we were greeted by their hostess dressed in traditional Japanese Kimono. The restaurant decoration and interior designs are very traditional Japanese style. We are brought to our table and given refreshing towel to cool us down from the humidity. Selecting from their menu will quite difficult as most of the dish name are in romanized Japanese. If you are not used to Japanese food, their waitress are more than helpful to give you explanation and recommendation. Our choice of the day: Teriyaki Chicken Katsu don, Sushi and Cold Soba with Japanese Ice Cream and Banana Crepe for dessert.

Their food is great. The Teriyaki Chicken is very tender and Furby say the rice is just delicious. Sushi is very very fresh and Soba is equally delicious. Yum yum :p Green Tea, Red Bean and Vanilla flavored ice cream is up to our expectation. The crepe is also very tasty. ^.^ The bill is charged to our room and unexpectedly, when we check out the next day we found out that we have 50% discount too ^.^
