Pulau Payar: Food Options

I didn't notice any food stalls when I visited the island, which basically means that you have to bring your own food... unless you join Langkawi Coral's packages which come with a buffet lunch. The buffet spread begins at around 12.30pm and since there was a huge crowd on Sunday, 2 buffet lines were set up and a nice variety of food was prepared.

Let's get 2 things out of the way: the food is Halal-certified and there are vegetarian set meals available (pre-order required).

The vegetarian set meals are not buffets, but there's still plenty of different dishes in chinese-style cooking to fill up even the hungriest visitor:
