Jala at The Andaman boasts an exciting menu of Malay and Western flavours, with a fresh seafood display for you to choose from. The restaurant offers the best of both worlds, nestled between the tropical rainforest and the Andaman Sea.Dress code is resort casual so skip the stilettos and go with flip flops, unless you want your heels to sink into the soft sand. One of Jala’s unique selling points is its sand floor that allows guests to feel as though they are dining on the beach. Jala is headed by Chef de Cuisine, Rene Knudsen, whose has a passion for nature and great respect for the local community.The herb collection was most interesting; everything was edible. Except the pot. Try the Jalaksa, the chef's take on local laksa. This composition of king prawn and seabass fried in Japanese breadcrumb batter, quail egg, cucumber and consommé was as tasty as it looked.On the whole, my dining experience at Jala was very enjoyable. The ambiance was lovely and the seafood was fresh – brought in by the fishermen that evening itself. Flavours were kept simple, and dishes were hearty and unpretentious.For more pictures and a full review, visit: <url>
