Santai Restaurant
About
Santai Restaurant, a restaurant on Perhentian Islands, sits on Pulau Perhentian Kecil in Besut, Terengganu. The kitchen cooks for diners on one of the smaller islands in the group, a short hop from the busier stretches of the archipelago.
Diners have pushed Santai Restaurant to 3.7 out of 5, a score drawn from 87 reviews. That is a modest but steady trickle of feedback rather than a flood, so the kitchen is judged by people who have made the trip and eaten there. Whether you need to book ahead depends on the season, since tables on the island can fill when the boats bring a full load of visitors. Walk-ins may still work outside peak hours.
Opening hours are not published, so a call before setting out is sensible. The restaurant's website, http://www.buburesort.com/, carries its latest information. Long Beach lies within reach of the address, and the island's west-coast bays are close by.
The northeast monsoon brings heavy rain to Malaysia's east coast between November and February, so plan around that window. Malay is the national language, and English is widely spoken, which makes ordering straightforward. Rice and noodles are staples, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, so expect those notes on the plate.
