APART from shopping and visiting places of interest, visitors to Langkawi should also try the local unique and favourite salad dish made of a type of seaweed, better known as lattut.

The Caulerpa sp. marine algae has a soft yet crisp texture, and makes a tempting dish when dipped in tamarind sauce.
