Game to try the local food at one of the local restaurants out of Golden Palm Tree Resort? Just a short 5 - 10 minutes walk from the resort is Bayu Malam Restaurant which serves barbeque seafood.
We decided to have dinner here and must say that the prices are value for money.

The food here was alright given the price, though we expected local food to taste much better. :D Of course, you cannot compare the price of the food here with that found in Golden Palm Tree Resort.
