Best Restaurants in Kota Bharu, Kelantan

The distinct cuisine of Kelantan can astound you with how different it is from typical Malaysian fare. Kelantanese cuisine is frequently described as a fusion of rich, sweet, and creamy flavours, owing to the heavy use of coconut milk and sugar in their dishes. Meanwhile, fish is cooked abundantly here, most likely due to its reliance on the fishing industry. Local favourites such as somtam and tomyam reflect Kelantan's historical ties with Thailand, with which it shares a border. Here's the lowdown on which Kelantanese dishes to seek out when visiting the state.
