Visiting the rice museum in Langkawi Malaysia
We spent half a day at the rice museum in Langkawi. It's well worth a visit. Although its only a few minutes walk from most of the accommodation in Pantai Cenang its seems like very few people take the time to check it out :(

Laman Padi - Rice Museum - Langkawi
This place is or supposed to be a rice museum showcasing the history of rice cultivation in Malaysia and it has a working rice farm attached. Well, that time we've been there there was not a soul and nothing was open. The location is pretty convenient though, as it is at the end of Pantai Cenang.

Rice and Curry, Parasailing, and Sunset Dinner Cruise in Langkawi (Day 5)

Day 5 traveling in Langkawi was one of the best days so far, with an amazing mix of Malaysian food, museums, adventure sports, and finally ending the day with a dinner sunset cruise and a relax time at the natural jacuzzi spa. We started the day for breakfast at a restaurant called Nasi Dagang Pak Malau, a beautiful little restaurant on the edge of the rice field that serves a Malaysian food called nasi dagang. The owner and his wife and family were extremely nice, and they welcomed us to their restaurant and served us an outstanding restaurant. So far, this is probably my favorite restaurant in Langkawi. Nasi dagang is typically supposed to just be rice with fish curry, but I also added in a hunk of mutton korma to make things even better. The rice was fragrant and the curries were outstanding (full video coming soon).
After a marvelous breakfast, we continued to Mahsuri's Tomb and Museum, which is a very famous place to visit. I’m not sure I fully understand the full story yet, but it’s about a girl named Mahsuri, who was so beautiful that she was the center of jealousy on Langkawi island. She was sentenced to death because of her beauty, and as she died she laid a curse on Langkawi saying the island would be barren and unproductive for 7 generations. Somehow, that turned to be true, and just recently Langkawi finished 7 generations and has now become extremely prosperous and is one of the biggest tourism destinations in Malaysian now.
Naam Watersports is a fantastic watersports company in Langkawi, and they are extremely safe and knowledgeable about the sports they offer. It was my first time to go parasailing and it was an incredible experience. The views from above were amazing, and it was quite a thrilling ride as well. We spent a few minutes browsing through the Langkawi Craft Complex, and then went to the Mardi Agrotechnology Park, a fruit and vegetable farm. We took a short fruit tour, where we were able to see fruit trees, and then sample some fresh fruit right from the far. The farm was small, but fun to see, especially if you love fruit. For lunch we ate at Restoran Siti Fatimah, a local nasi campur (rice and curry) restaurant. I chose a few different fish dishes, piled them onto my rice, and ate them together with some herbs and chili sauce. This is one of my favorite styles of Malaysian food, it’s just so good.
After spending a few minutes at a waterfall, we then drove to the boat jetty to catch our sunset dinner cruise with Naam Watersports aboard the Sea Falcon. It was by far the nicest boat I had ever been on. The views of the ocean and the peacefulness of being on the boat was the real highlight for me. It was an amazing experience!

The Padi Cuisine & Jimmy's Cafe, Langkawi District, Kedah, Malaysia, Asia
Jimmy runs a small restaurant in an expanse of rice fields.
The production crew stopped at Jimmy's Cafe --- actually a restaurant --- for dinner.

Cool, moist winds blow through the restaurant. We watched birds flit through the paddies as we tried the exotic Malaysian dishes.

Mangrove Tour in Langkawi (Day 4)
►Blog:
►Follow on Instagram:
On Day 4 in Langkawi we started the day by heading to the Kilim Geo Park Mangrove, which is a park in Langkawi dedicated to preserving the mangroves. The best way to get around is to rent a boat, so we had a boat that took us around to a variety of different stops. After getting in the boat our first stop was the bat cave, which was filled with bats. After checking out the bats we continued back into the boat and stopped at a place called Gua Langsir, which was kind of like a crater that fills with water depending on the tide of the ocean.
After visiting a variety of different sites we continued on the mangrove tour by just cruising on the boat. It was nice to just sit and relax and enjoy the cool breeze as we glided through the water. Mangrove trees are very important in Langkawi and they are protected on the island. After riding the boat around for a while we continued on to a section where there are a number of different floating restaurants. We stopped at Hold in The Wall Restaurant to first go to the fish farm. They had quite a nice selection of huge fish, and they fed them. It was very interesting to see, especially the stingray. The stingray felt like an elephant, but slimy.
We had lunch at Hole in The Wall Floating restaurant on the Langkawi mangrove tour, but the food was not good. It was salty and sweet, but overpriced and I think the flavors were very toned down - quite touristy.
After the Langkawi mangrove tour we had a little extra time, and so with the help of our guide and driver, we stopped at a local Malaysian wedding taking place at someones house right along the road. I’m going to edit a full video about this experience, because it was incredible, but in the Langkawi video I just included a quick teaser.
Finally, for dinner we went to The Andaman hotel and ate at The Japanese Restaurant. Overall the Japanese food was pretty good.

Attractions in Langkawi, Fish Curry, and Nasi Kerabu (Day 2)

Day 2 of food and attractions in Langkawi, here’s what we did:
We started the day at The Andaman Hotel, and ate the buffet breakfast in the morning. The food was quite good and the buffet was very extensive. There’s nothing I enjoy doing more than eating fish curry for breakfast.
After breakfast we drove to the SkyCab, which is one of Langkawi’s most famous attractions, a cable car that goes up the side of the second highest peak in Langkawi. We took a ride on the glass bottom gondola car, and the ride took about 10 or 15 minutes to reach the top. I especially liked the glass bottom to get views of what was below us as well. At the top of the Langkawi SkyCab there is another attraction called the SkyBridge, bridge that spans from one peak to the next. It was pretty cool to walk along the bridge and enjoy the view. Also, located in the same complex, we went to Art In Paradise, which was a painting museum the are made for taking photos. So you stand in front of the painting and take photos - it was quite well done.
For lunch we went to Malaysia 1 Restoran and went to a restaurant called Mr. Asam Pedas, who specializes in a Malaysian food called asam pedas, a spicy and sour curry. I had the asam pedas with fish, which was incredibly good - the flavors of the curry were extremely good, and I loved all the herbs and spices included.
One of the main reasons my wife and I were invited to Langkawi was to attend the Langkawi Laksa Carnival, a festival celebrating the dish of laksa, which is a number of different types of noodles and curry. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but today was the opening ceremony and so we first walked around and ate some amazing noodles - some Chinese hand pulled noodles, and a laksa from the Malaysian state of Kelantan, both of which were extremely good. I was then asked to be part of a simple cooking competition, and though I had no idea what I was doing, it was a lot of fun.
After the Laksa Carnival opening, we then went to Ayer Hangat Night Market, which is a local food market on Friday night. Everything looked delicious, but I had to go with a dish called nasi kerabu, rice with toasted coconut and herbs, and then I chose some fish and fish cakes to go on top. We also had beef curry with sticky rice which was also delicious. The food at Ayer Hangat Night Market was fantastic!
Thank you to Naturally Langkawi ( and Tourism Malaysia for sponsoring our trip to Langkawi, and for Kash Island Adventures ( for touring us.

About Us!
If you had told me a year ago that we were going to sell all of our stuff to start backpacking the world, I would have called you a liar. Decisions like the one we made start with an inflection point. A point where you realize that life can never be the same anymore. After a challenging, and painful year in 2017, we decided we needed to go out and live the life we wanted to live, instead of watching it on someone else’s YouTube Channel. We had given everything we had, physically and emotionally, for other’s dreams and were ready to work that hard for ourselves. From rock bottom, Chase for Adventure was born.
The Chase Begins
We moved in with our parents, sold everything we own including our cars, and paid off $70,000 worth of debt. We worked 70hrs/week over the last year trying to save up $15,000 to make our dreams come true. Now, we are travel journalists who showcase the beauty in different cultures and inspire others to chase their dreams through our YouTube Channel and website Chase for Adventure. We want to show others that if they want something bad enough, they’ll figure out how to get it; show people who are struggling that they can make the light at the end of their tunnel. Chase for Adventure is more than just a travel vlog and blog; it’s the chronicles of what it’s like to have a dream and do whatever it takes to attain it.
Beras Terbakar Field of Burnt Rice LANGKAWI
Padi Museum, Kedah
Rice has been the staple food for much of Asia, including Malaysia, for centuries now, and it is a significant part of the region's cuisine. Not only is the crop eaten plain as cooked rice, but it is also turned into a variety of interesting food such as noodles, ricecakes, wine and much more.
With the important role of rice has in daily Malaysian life, it seems only apt to remember and celebrate its significance. Completed and officially launched in 2004, the Muzium Padi (Paddy Museum) is one of only few rice museums in the world, and is rightfully located in the state of Kedah, known as the Rice Bowl of Malaysia.
