Makan-makan: Kota Bharu, Kelantan

We went to Kota Bahru early this month as he got some lectures to do
He wanted mother and baby to come along  just to complete Hannan's Peninsular Malaysia trip (been to all peninsular states at 1 year old yeay!)
Kelantan is famous with its local markets Pasar Siti Khadijah, Wakaf Che Yeh, and "duty free" markets Rantau Panjang and Pengkalan Kubur and other interesting places so why not?

We stayed at the Grand Riverview Hotel
Poor service. Don't like the breakfast buffet. And pls renovate the the room interior. It's so 20 years behind.

Anyway
The last time we came here was only 2 years ago and so much development has taken place
and this time, with the help of our nice driver, we discovered great makan-makan places!

Four Seasons is our top list
try out the mango chicken and ikan 3 rasa, I almost cried for more
Set dishes starting from RM68 for 4 dishes, plain rice and fruit platter.
generous serving size, definitely value for money. Perfect for family.
and I heard they recently opened a branch in Bangi
(Hubby let's go later okay?)

 

The next in our list is Restoran Wau. I would say it's like a secret recipe franchise in KB.

3 minute walking distance from Grand Riverview Hotel.

Variety of menu from roti milo, maggi goreng, murtabak, sup sayur, steamed fish, western meal. Just name it.  Reasonable price. Clean interior. Nice ambience.

 

And there's Captain Restaurant by the river

You wouldn't miss this restaurant cum boat by the wide Kelantan river

It features fresh sea products with Malay and Thai style cooking

 

last but not least, our driver recommended Nasi Ulam Cikgu. Located at Craft Village. You wouldn't miss it. You get the giant fried ikan keli and huge fried chicken with lauk for 3 people for only RM30. I personally think there's nothing to shout about the dishes but this place is cheap. So go there and have a try.
