Looking at the reviews here in TripAdvisor, we were looking forward to some excellent food. Sadly, the experience fell way below expectations. The chicken pontay, fish asam pedas and beef rendang were average at best. It may have been a matter of preference, but the pontay did taste a little weird to our palate. So did the asam pedas. It may not have helped that we had two nyonyas dining with with us and my other half casually remarked that I shouldn't have brought them for Peranakan food in Langkawi. In my defence I told her that FatCupid came highly recommended on TripAdvisor. Their smoked salmon linguini did them some amount of justice, although that surely wasn't the reason why we drove all the way there. It would have been a lowly two star had the review only been about the food. The service and ambience got them the additional star as I have to say the minimalist atmosphere was cosy, and service commendable. Took a good half an hour plus before the dishes arrived and even then it did taste as though some dishes had the microwave treatment (I could be wrong though). All in, no, I wouldn't recommend FatCupid, especially not for the dishes we ordered. Perhaps their other dishes were better but we won't be going there again.
