Great food is a highlight at Batu Batu where full-board meals are served three times a day in the resort’s main restaurant, a breezy open-sided pavilion with 270-degree views of the ocean.
The Restaurant at Batu Batu
Meals are a highlight at Batu Batu with a small daily changing menu at lunch and dinner each day. The daily menus feature fresh local seafood and high-grade meats in local Malaysian and Western dishes. Served in the resort’s main restaurant – a spacious open-sided pavilion with 270-degree views of the sea – expect to see dishes such as traditional Malaysian beef rendang (a slow-cooked beef “curry-stew”) made with the island’s own coconut milk and lemongrass and served with fragrant rice, fresh grilled snapper wrapped in home-grown banana leaf with Malaysian-style chilli paste, nourish bowls and salads and chargrilled ribeye with green papaya. Our bakery and pasty kitchen is also a highlight with excellent home-made breads, mousses, ice creams, tarts and of course fresh tropical fruit.
The Batu Batu kitchen is baby and child-friendly and a simple rotating children’s menu is available each day. Children also have the option of down-sizing certain simple dishes from the adult’s lunch menu. Batu Batu provides fruit and vegetable purees for babies and can also puree items on the children’s menu with a little advance notice.
If you have specific dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know in advance and we can try to provide options to accommodate your needs. Please let our reservations team know when you make the booking and please speak to our Guest Services Team or our Restaurant Manager when you arrive here on the island.
Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided on a 3-Meal Plan or “Board” basis at RM 340+ for an adult per day and RM 170+ for a child per day. Infants under 3 years old eat for free.
The Bar
Set amongst the rocks with commanding views of the sea, the bar adjoins the main resort restaurant. Enjoy a lemongrass martini, cold beer or fresh fruit juice whilst looking out to the open expanse of the South China Sea.
The Tiki Bar
Our rustic little beach shack at Long Beach that moves when the beaches moves. The Tiki Bar is open usually from 11am up to nightfall (please check with Guest Services) and serves a small selection of drinks for guests chilling at the beach.
