Kota Bahru - food in the city, Kelantan Malaysia

Cikgu Nasi Ulam

On the ground floor is a local Malay food restaurant that sells great Malay food and where one can try the selection of Ulam. The food is cheap here too and well worth the wait - it gets very crowded during lunch hours. Self service food; help yourself to the variety of curries, grilled fish, ulam, vegetables etc and find yourself a table and someone will come take your orders for drinks and provide you with a tab. Service is good too. Typical Kelantan hospitality!

Open: Daily 10.30am - 5.00pm . Closed Fridays








Kedai Kopi White House

This is the place to go for a bit of all round breakfast , from toast and kaya or coconut jam to the local Kelantan speciality such as nasi dagang , nasi ikan tongkol , nasi tumpang etc. It is clearly a place where all transcends race and creed. Leave that obnoxious prejudices at the doormat and perhaps you will enjoy the environ more. And let's just face it, KL folks can sometimes exhibit deplorable behaviour when they travel out of the city.

Mak Sun Nab Nasi Air

This is very much a culinary unique to Kelantan and me thinks it is as such an influence based on the Chinese who, mind you were in these lands a lot longer than the local history books have recorded. Influence could also well be from Champa in Cambodia and Siam as there were constant expansion and constriction of empire borders in early Asian civilisation .
From my understanding, nasi air really is porridge or broth - rice in water as it is translated literally. It is a joy to give your tummy a little break if you have had a deluge of heavy kelantan food recently, and nasi air is it.

Korean Food Guide: 44 Things to Eat in Seoul, South Korea and Where to Try Them

Before our trips to Korea, my knowledge of Korean food was pretty much limited to  kimchi ,  bulgogi , and  japchae . My exposure to the cuisine never really went beyond that in spite of having several Korean friends, including a Korean roommate for a couple of years. I think part of it is due to how damn good Korean barbecue is. It’s so delicious that it was pretty much all I ever looked for when eating at Korean restaurants. Bulgogi for my main course, and a plate of japchae on the side. That was it. But thanks to our two trips to Seoul, in 2015 and 2017, my Korean food vocabulary has expanded to over 40 dishes. As delicious and universally appealing as Korean barbecue is, I’ve learned that there’s so much more to the cuisine than just bulgogi and  galbi . Things like  ganjang gejang ,  jokbal , and  naengmyeon aren’t as well known outside of Korea but they are dishes well worth flying for. Ganjang gejang was particularly memorable. After waiting two years to try it, you’d think

After three years of food and fuel shortages, Syria has become unlivable. Since the new year, attacks continue to escalate killing citizens by the hundreds. Power and water is cut, trash piles up spreading disease. Over 100,000 civilians have fled the front lines of a genocidal regime, even risking a fe
