In kelantan there is no starbucks or coffeebean, but what we have is hayaki!
There is some kind of improvement recently, hayaki is approaching the style of antipodean..  well, there are still lots of room for improvement.

coffee not bad..
mocha it is but the pattern i have no idea...

egg benedict...
still lots of rooms of improvement

environment not bad... in fact quite comfortable~~

where is it? the famous 2 hayaki in kebun sultan..

penang har mee

Just coincidence,  on the way to tesco to get my grocery after my postcall day, saw few restaurants opposite to tune hotel.
one of the shop is crowded, out of curiosity,  I stepped in instead of mcd breakfast.
Of course this is pork free restaurant, selling beef and chicken noodles, I saw long lost friend, penang har mee( prawn mee), without hesitation,  thats my choice.
NOT BAD, after all this is not penang, but is par above those in food court china town. Next will try the other noodles.
I went to try the beef noodle the following week, and is nice! Love the soup which is rich in taste. So tasty till I forgot to take the picture.

The ritz boutique restaurant

Kelantan is a city where chinese population consist less than 10%, however this does not mean that getting chinese food is difficult. In fact most of the chinese restaurant has expanded their business by selling halal food,  namely four seasons, chiang mai restaurant. Enough for the over rated restaurant, the ritz boutique restaurant provide good food with affordable price.
Come with set of four dishes with rice and drinks and even dessert included, rm 60 is a very good deal.
It is fully booked on festive seasons, and they did not increase the price.

Recommended dishes are butter prawn and sambal sotong. 

Steam fish

bak kut teh

In kelantan, there is no typical chinese food as like laksa from penang or bak kut teh from klang
U will be grateful even if is a average dish as found in other place
But is still worthwhile u stuck here and missing home dishes


聚江楼Jalan Sri Cemerlang 16/27
Is actually a modified building that convert to restaurant
the bak kut teh is nice but only selling in the morning
at night is a typical chinese restaurant.

yea, they selling the dry and wet type.. which is hardly seen in other stall.

however, there is another one selling at night near kebun sultan name 七里香, which is not bad as well. this one has 花雕鸡, which almost the same as dry bak kut teh

breakfast

Most of the website will recommend the white house coffee shop when it came to nice cuppa coffee.
Well, there are no starbucks here and the most common place for the local was to the good old coffee houses which are still well preserved in this small town.
However personally I think the kopitiam Kita which is located near the emaslink pacific hotel is way class above the white house coffee house.
Both owners are chinese, and the main attractions would be the hainan coffee, the bread ( roti kahwin which is consists of bread and kaya) as well as the local food like nasi berlauk, nasi kukus, nasi lemak... kelantan people are liking the rice!

It has the most collection of all the nasi berlauk in kelantan, namely nasi berlauk air dingin, nasi kak wok, nasi tumpang, nasi kukus, nasi lemak, nasi tumpang and variety of kuih, which usually sold out by 10am.

the famous bread is roti titab, which they will apply butter on the bread, with kaya and half boiled egg on it. 

Apart from that lots of celebrities had visited this shop before! Possible is the nice hospitality provided. :) 

kopitiam Kita located at 4357-A, Taman Desa Jaya,  Jalan Pengkalan Chepa, 15400 Kota Bharu.
