Island love….
You may have already heard of Bubu Long Beach Resort at Pulau Perhentian. Bringing its charm to KL, Bubu Bar and Restaurant is located on the side of budget digs Hotel Rae on backpacker-friendly Tengkat Tong Shin. It may be far from the beach, but Bubu still receives fresh seafood daily from Perhentian. Inside is a smarter affair, but an alfresco bar area surrounded by palm trees provides the kind of unpretentious low-key appeal you’d associate with island life.
