where do you get Sup Belut in KB???

~fellow penangites who’s passionate about food just as much~

food – oh my god! kb is heaven on earth… esp for a chinese (who detest chinese food) who simply just adores malay & indian food !!!

my ex-bf is kelantanese, and i visited him & his family in kb numerous times a couple of years ago. cannot get enuff of the nasi lauk in rong sri, where they served kelantanese version of mixed rice. the ikan keli masak asam kept me adding rice to my plate, even after my 3rd helping! and try the fried ikan keli… i can take 3, one after the other. u hv to get those that have just left the frying wok, it’s crispier. choose the medium sized one, larger ones r not as tasty. ohhh… i almost forgot, the raja ulam is so refreshing (if u x know, it’s a kind of veggie, eating raw as ulam). and their tempoyak!!! and btw… the restaurant owner also has a very, very good looking son, but to the single ones, i’m sorry to inform u, he’s taken! oh.. i’m salivating now… (over the food ok, get it?)

there’s also a famous sup tulang which the tulang and the meat was so fresh and plentiful. however, something happened to that business and after they relocated, the sup tulang was no longer as delicious anymore.

there’s also the daging bakar (the very famous one, but i forgot the name – i think it’s called yati). indeed one nice daging bakar, but my ex-bf and i agreed that as much as their daging bakar is great, the owners of that restaurant has an attitude problem to match. but i’m so greedy when it comes to food … i still went and patron that outlet.

another one u MUST not miss is the nasi kerabu opposite of the General Hospital. so cheap so cheap. one big packet of nasi kerabu with lots and lots of condiment (fried fishes, plural, fried chickens, plural, solok – kelantanese yong tau foo, daging(s) bakar, ok not proper to pluralise a malay word, cracker, telur masin, loads of grated & minced grilled kembung fish and heaps of ulam, all for RM1.50 (maybe RM2 now, since i’m painting u a picture from 2001).

following the road along the GH (on yr left), there’s oso the small restaurant which sells very thick gravy of laksam. must try.

next to the nasi kerabu stall opp of GH as i mentioned earlier, there’s one old makcik selling kuihs, very very nice, and it’s warm, just freshly made. it’s difficult to get her, now u see it , now u don’t. she doesn’t open her business daily.. i wonder why?

the market, yes… day time, a lot of mangoes, large, juicy mangoes from thailand. night time, a lot of kuihs, kelantanese specialties.

well… if this is not enuff to get u to start planning for kb for your next trip, i x wat will???

ok – hv fun if u’re going to kb. print this food bible out and take it wif u. hv a jolly time!
