All of us know about Langkawi Island. Langkawi also has made itself into the world map. Le Tour De Langkawi, Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA).
How much do we know about Langkawi? What is the main attraction there? What are the things to do there? Heheheh...just asking this question.
Let starts with shopping. Why shopping? As the picture above, everybody knows that Langkawi is one of the duty free zone in Malaysia.
What does it mean?
It means we can buy cheap goods especially chocolate, cigarettes and alcohol. Some say it is also cheap to buy kitchen ware.

Where to buy them?
There are two main shopping complexes that you can find at Kuah Town (the main town of Langkawi) which are HIG (Hj Ismail Group) and Idaman Suri.

For this post, the highlight is Idaman Suri. The new location of Idaman Suri, is about 5km from Kuah Town. From Kuah Town, you will notice a big multi-storey yellow building on your right hand side. YESS. That is IDAMAN SURI!!!
kitchen wares |

Yes, as you can see there are a lot of kitchen ware. Its a heaven for real shoppers. A lot of brand available such as CorningWare, Arcopal, Corelle etc.
Even though dominated by kitchen-ware, Idaman Suri also have a variety of chocolates. The brands are almost similar compare to other outlets at airports around Malaysia but much much much CHEAPER!!!
For example 400g Party Pack Snickers, normal price at airport would be RM27.90-28.90. Over here its RM14.90!!!
