Hard Hat Sale
No we are not selling hard hats! Casa del Mar has employed a small force of sweaty but valiantly hardworking men, and a woman, in the sturdy head gear doing good things to the resort in its extension and refurbishment programme (details of the programme can be viewed on the front page of our website). Although some building sounds might be expected during such work it is pleasing to report that, so far, there has been little, if any, noise or disruption. To ease the occasional saw scrape or drill whine, readers booking in the month of June, before the 7th, will benefit from a special renovation rate of RM 380.00 per night including breakfast. Please write to us at info@casadelmarlangkawi.com or visit our website for bookings.

 

Re cycling in Langkawi

Environmental issues are rarely very far from the concerns of the residents of Langkawi as they strive to achieve a balance between progress and preservation. CDM suggests a new recycling programme.

Save on car hire, reduce pollution and take out one of the new hybrid mountain & road bikes recently bought by the hotel to explore the island. Explore the many narrow kampong lanes not accessible to cars or just freewheel along the hard packed sands of Cenang Beach at sunset.

 

Do try this at home.
We are constantly fielding questions about how this most decadent of desserts is made. This is probably one of the most talked about dishes on our menu. If you have a sweet tooth then it is a must do.

Chocolate Soft Centre
(Serves 4)
170gm Butter
100gm Granulated Sugar
170 gm Dark chocolate
5 Eggs
50gm Flour

Mix together butter, sugar and chocolate in bowl in a water bath. Let cool, mix with eggs & flour. Put mix in individual moulds. Pre heat oven at 180°C. Bake in oven for 8 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

 

Early Birds and Worms
Our site visitors may have noticed that we now have a facility called Pelican that allows you to book online and receive confirmation directly. Not only does it do this but it also rewards early bookers taking rooms when demand is soft.

The way things are going at the moment the high season is being booked up earlier and earlier. If you are thinking of visiting Langkawi between December and March an early visit to the Pelican might be a good idea.

 

Jumpa Lagi!....Andrew, Peter, Susan, Zainal, Rajes, Zan and crew
