Any visitor to Kuah, the main town of Langkawi, would have heard of the Legend of the Two Giants. It is a story that shines a different light on Kuah, which means gravy in Malay, and its other curious-sounding locales like Kampung Ayer Hangat (Hotspring Village) and Kampung Belanga Pecah (Broken Crockery Village).
