Splash Out Langkawi is the Ultimate Destination for Spills and Thrills

Splash Out Langkawi is the Ultimate Destination for Spills and Thrills 

Mark Your Calendars for an Exhilarating Getaway &

a Splashing Good Time at Langkawi’s Premier Water Theme Park.



Langkawi, 9 December 2022 – Splash Out Langkawi the island’s first water theme park is the perfect spot for adrenaline enthusiasts. Inspired by coastal architecture and a nautical theme, this water park has thrilling rides, delicious bites, and a bounty of keepsakes.

The park which borders the sparkling Andaman Sea occupies a 12-acre park in Kuah Town, just 15 km from Langkawi International Airport. The RM60 million project was launched by the Halim Mazmin Group in 2019.

Halim Mazmin Group founder Tan Sri Halim Mohammad says “The Jewel of Kedah is a year- round destination for domestic and international tourists, and we have no doubt many will flock to Langkawi during the upcoming holiday season. However, many families often find it difficult to balance the interests of both parent and child when selecting attractions. Splash Out Langkawi has thrills and spills for everyone regardless of age while offering visitors a unique way to experience the island. It is sure to be a thrilling experience for the whole family and an ideal year-end holiday destination to make long-lasting memories with your loved ones.”


Let the Adventure Begin!

Stepping through the grand archway of the main entrance is a transportive experience. With 12 maritime-inspired attractions on site, visitors are in for a sea of adventure.

Among the fun-filled attractions are Sprinkle Island, an interactive playground with a gigantic water sprinkler, and the Big Splash Kingdom, where kids can eagerly anticipate being drenched by 250 litres of water every couple of minutes.

Those who prefer to take it easy, can jump into the 6ft deep Wild Water for a chill splash session or float along the River of Life for a serene escape.

Exhilarating rides such as Ragin’ Racers, and the Perfect Storm are ideal for thrill seekers. Let your screams out as you race down at a speed of 50km per hour and drift across a tilted funnel-shaped surface with kaleidoscopic twists.

It goes without saying water slides reign supreme here. Journey down the Splash-Tacular where hydro jets boost you up a sudden incline at top speed or venture into the intergalactic Poseidon’s Revenge for an immersive experience through dark tunnels coupled with visual effects.

Splash-Twister and Splash-Python are not for the faint-hearted. These adrenaline-pumping rides will have you spiralling down like a rollercoaster. To really give your heart a workout, check out Shipwreck Falls, among the most extreme rides here featuring sharp drops, steep uphill climbs, and a splashing finale.

If speedy rides and sudden loops are not your thing, the Rainbow Rider is an exciting experience that is perfect for all ages.


Take a Time-Out

Even the most hardcore park visitor will need a break to replenish their energy. The Seafarers Haven Food Court offers a wide range of quick and delicious options from fast food favourites to burgers to local delights you will be spoilt for choice.

For quick bites, recharge at the East India Coffee & Tea Company, where pastries, cakes, and hot beverages deliver instant sugar and caffeine boosts, or swing by one of the F&B kiosks around the water park for snacks, fruit juice or a refreshing scoop of ice cream. To keep hydrated, Refuel is a convenient pit stop which offers juices, sodas, and isotonic drinks.

Your journey is not completed without a visit to the Bass Harbour Outpost and Supply. Here, visitors can get their hands on exclusive Splash Out Langkawi souvenirs and merchandise such as toys, accessories, fashion items and more. Not only do they make terrific keepsakes, they are also thoughtful gifts for friends or family back home.

Ticking All the Boxes

The amenities in Splash Out Langkawi have been developed to cater to a wide range of needs. Facilities include lockers, changing rooms, a nursing room for mothers, a first-aid station, a prayer room and even gazebos for rent.

Those looking to cut down on travel time can check in to the hospitable Bella Vista Waterfront Langkawi, located adjacent to Splash Out Langkawi and is only 5 minutes away on foot and even quicker by car. Better known as “The

Castle,” the impressive hotel sits amid 14 acres of lush landscaped gardens with stunning 360° views of the Andaman Sea and the charming Kuah town.

Splash Out Langkawi is open every Wednesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm. Children below 90 cm in height get free entrance while admission tickets for children 12 years old and below are priced at RM55. Adult tickets are priced at RM75 (13-60 years), and senior citizen tickets are priced at RM40 (above 60 years old).

All tickets can be purchased in advance via Splash Out Langkawi’s official website or on the day at the water park. To jump the long queues, add on the Admiral Express Splash Pass for only RM25. MyKad holders are entitled to a special rate, simply flash your MyKad at the counter or fill in your details on the website to purchase tickets at RM35 for children and RM50 for adults.

SHEIN Presents Its Holiday Edit
5 Looks From SHEIN’s Latest 2022 Collection To Ensure You Rock Any Holiday Party

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – December is universally considered the happiest time of the year. The joyous atmosphere is lit up even more with the sound of carols, bright decorations, and buying gifts for friends and loved ones.

To get into the holiday spirit, SHEIN is launching its 2022 Holiday Collection featuring fashion pieces that will leave fans of the brand feeling even merrier this December. For anyone looking to spruce up their holiday season looks, SHEIN aims to help you stand out.

After a few seasons of looks mainly stuck in our own homes, everyone is excited to dress up for the holidays. For its part, SHEIN is delighted to show a myriad of styles in iridescent sequin sparkles, faux fur blazers, mod prints, and sleek leather perfect for any evening dinner party.

Here then are the best looks that will surely make you standout:

Feel Fancy in Faux Fur (Glam Princess Style)

For an ensemble that looks and feels luxurious, take a coat with faux fur trim and layer it with a fitted dress or top and skirt, sheer tights, and knee-length high-heeled boots. Metallic accessories, such as a clutch or glam sunglasses, will add that much-needed pop of sparkle.
 
Your Perfect Holiday Blazer (Smart Chic)



Pressed for time? Nothing elevates a look better than that perfect blazer. Layered over your favorite crop top or dress, a statement blazer will immediately give your outfit that much needed shape and authority. When paired with a classic clutch, accessories, and shoes, this versatile look can take you from your holiday office party straight into your evening night in the town. But if ever you need to stand out, do it with a gorgeous brightly colored velvet pantsuit!

Swap Dress Pants for Cargo Styles (Double Denim Look)



Cargo pants are everywhere at the moment and the trend will stick around through 2023. To wear the double denim trend for any holiday soiree, just match loose jeans with cut-off vests or a cropped top. Dress it up with chunky heels, sparkly accessories, and glam hair and makeup. Add a pop of color with a coat to complete the look.
 
Go for Bold Mod Prints and Silhouettes (The Rock Glamour Era)



The 60s was a high-spirited era and after years of being in conservative clothing, we want to be playful in our wardrobe again. This is especially true during holiday festivities. SHEIN’s 2022 Holiday Collection encompasses all kinds of 60s aesthetics, from hippie to Mod, youthquake (more spirited, sexy, pop culture-inspired styles), and rock glamour.

Not So Ugly Sweater (Cozy Holiday Look)



Keep the “ugly sweater” trend alive, but make sure that you still look cute. Whether you're going to a house party or an office, or just to make your daily attire is fun and festive, SHEIN has a selection of the cutest ugly Christmas sweaters that are guaranteed to be a hit at any party this holiday season.

The SHEIN Holiday Collection 2022 features items that are perfect when worn on their own. These, however, still look pristine and eye-catching when layered or in combination with other pieces when you’re traveling during the holidays.

Just in time for the launch of the SHEIN Holiday Collection, SHEIN will also launch several promotions for the SHEIN 12.12 Mega Year-End Sale with discounts up to 90% off. Various tops and accessories, including those designed by several Malaysian designers, will be featured on both the SHEIN website and mobile app.

Seasonal Delights - Buddha Jumps over the Walls and Mudskippers @ Putien, Penang Gurney Paragon Mall

When it comes to Putien restaurant, it is all about good food and great memories especially this is a perfect restaurant for family gathering or bringing important guests for a good treat. 

Special thanks to Putien management for inviting us again and let us try some of the new seasonal dishes with the new premium Buddha Jumps Over The Wall dish available on their menu.

Being one of the most premium dishes on Chinese cuisine, Fatt Tiew Cheong 佛跳墙 Buddha Jumps Over The Wall is definitely the kind of dish that you should try at least once in your lifetime. 
Fatt Tiew Cheong 佛跳墙 Buddha Jumps Over The Wall cooked with 8 types of premium ingredients and Chinese herbs and simmer over low heat for 10 hours to make this bowl of perfectly nutritious soup. Priced at RM288.60
The special thing in Putien is that they will add a shot of MaoTai(Chinese White Wine) to further enhance the flavour of the soup and it is really good. Portion is really big and enough to feed more than one mouth. 


Fatt Tiew Cheong 佛跳墙 Buddha Jumps Over The Wall consists of Nanri Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Dried Scallop, Shark's Fin, Deep Sea Fish Skin, Suizhou Mushroom, Pork Tendon and Pigeon Egg.
(南日鲍鱼、大连海参、干贝、黄金鱼翅、深海鱼皮、随州花菇、猪脚筋与鸽子蛋)

Another seasonal special would be their Mudskippers 跳跳鱼 that is imported all the way from Putien, Fujian. 

Available in three cooking style, you can choose to have it in deep fried, which is my favourite among all, or have it braised or in soup.
With lightly salted and spiciness from the pepper, the mudskippers are fried until very crispy and you can basically consume the whole fish except the head. I was expecting the some fishy smell from this fish as we all know that mudskippers taste kinda muddy but surprisingly it is not fishy at all.

The one with Tender Bean Curd version is the one that is soup version where you can enjoy hearty fish soup that goes well with your meal.

The Braised version is the flavourful version where you can have it with Putien's Signature vermicelli noodle. It is the perfect pair with the sauce rich in flavour. 

Seaweed Egg Drop Soup (紫菜蛋花汤)

All time favourite and one of the most popular dishes - 风味松鼠鱼 Deep Fried Squirrel Fish
It is always my favourite with the sweet and sour sauce that makes my meal very appetising and for someone who don't really know how to eat fish like me would be perfect because I wouldn't have to worry about getting choke by fishbones. 

If you are bored with the local Penang Oyster Omelette, you can give this Fujian Fried Oyster Omelette 福建海蠣煎 a try as it is very flavourful and they also added quite a lot of scallions that makes it really enjoyable. 



PUTIEN Sweet & Sour Pork with Lychees 莆田荔枝肉
Definitely a must whenever you visit Putien restaurant. It is always my top favourite as it is something that you can't find in any other restaurants. 

Overall it is another great dining experience getting to try some of the new dishes available in Putien restaurant. It is always the kind of restaurant that suitable to dine with your friends and family when it comes to organising gathering or any celebrations.
