Awana Kijal (3) - Where To Eat

There are a few restaurants within the resort vicinity:
1. Restoran Kampung Meraga Beris restaurant (Picture on Left) is where buffet breakfast is served in the mornings.
2. Little Canton, this chinese restaurant serves tasty food.
3. Windows Steak House has a very nice deco.
4. Waterfall Cafe & Lounge sits near the pool and golf course. You can access the bar from the pool as well. Daily live entertainment in the evening except Thursdays.
5. Atrium Coffee Lounge is right at the centre of the lobby with free wireless access.
6. Oasis Hut at the beach comes handy when you need a refreshing cool drink after some fun on the beach.
7. Studio One is a bar & pub. They may actually have Karaoke singing available in there (we didn't check it out though).



There are two rows of shop houses outside Kijal Resort about 8 minutes walk away.

1. Pertama Kijal ==> Chinese

Address: 12 Persiaran melor, Pantai Pelancongan Kijal, KM28, Jln Cukai-Dungun, 24100 Kemaman
Tel: 019-9932828 / 019-9932868

Most of the dishes are very good and seemed to be MSG free. Very tasty and my family prefers this restaurant anytime. Seafood are generally more costly.



2. Grandview Cafe ==> Chinese, Western
Address: 12 Backrow Persiaran Bunga Raya, Kijal Beach Resort, Kijal 24100, Kemaman
Tel: 09-8642486, HP: 012-9089382

The menu is exactly the same as Pertama Kijal, except it has extra choice of Western dishes. All their dishes are a little bit more expensive than Pertama Kijal.



3. KFC



4. Korean
We never saw this shop open the few times we were there, not in the noon, and definitely not during the night. So we're not sure if its actually still available.



5. Malay mamak

Uncle Lim's

Nasi Lemak lovers, this is one shop to savour the authentic flavours of sambal with sotong and curry chicken. This is one dish that's well worth the price. The other commendable item is Uncle Lim's Laksa. Also on the menu are chicken chop, variety of toasts, half boiled eggs, etc., typically those that you can get from the chinese kopitiam.


They still use the all-time classic tea cups (though not stained) which kind of brings you back to memory lane of the coffee-shops our grandparents used to frequent back in those days. Though now, you can enjoy the "kopi"(coffee) and "teh"(tea) all in the comforts of an air-conditioning.

You'd be surprise how many uncle(s) and aunty(s) spend their time there, catching up on times and sipping their hot cuppa with toast or a half boiled egg.


The outlet at Ikano lower ground floor is really really good. Its almost always packed to the brim. You just need to have some patience to queue up and self-service your favourites.

The branch at Berjaya Times Square is really lacking. My whole family agreed that the Nasi Lemak and Uncle Lim's Laksa wasn't as good. We didn't bother trying other dishes since the signature ones were hopeless.
