If you are traveling from Kuah Town to Langkawi International Airport (via highway), chances of you passing by The Fat Frog are high but you might continue the journey without noticing its presence. The Fat Frog sits on a hill of a gold course, which has a lush expanse of green surrounding the cafe. When we turned into the parking lot, for a moment, we thought we were instantly teleported to the countryside of Australia (it sure looks like a vineyard).
It seems like the cafe is manned by expats and it offers a simple menu with plenty of home-cooked Western dishes. Notable dishes include Quiche, Pasta and Burger. The lunch menu with a soup, main course and a coffee/tea offers great values; the ala-carte menu is also reasonably priced. The Lemongrass Chicken Linguine was toothsome, the Pasta was meticulously seasoned and spiced; a touch of bird's eye Chilies was added to introduce a sleek spiciness to the dish. The grilled Chicken was equally succulent, complementing the noodle dish well.
It's not easy to find a good Quiche in Malaysia but The Fat Frog nailed it. The pastry skin was light, crispy and flaky while the inner filling was creamy, rich but not overly salted. The simple Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette cuts through the greasiness of the Quiche. Our palate was refreshed with every single bite of the Quiche followed by the Salad. We completed the meal with their Apple and Blackberry Crumble, topped with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.
