Kota Bharu : que faire

“Located 3km away from Villa Yusmah, Pasar Siti Khadijah was opened in 1985 to replace the old Pasar Besar Kota Bharu. It was renamed as a tribute to 'women', as the majority of its traders are women. The market is housed in a 4-storey building and features an octagonal shape. The building is filled with vegetables, fruits, sea food, poultry and meat, local delicacies (such as keropok, keropok lekor, serunding), textiles and brassware. Crowded but with a nice peaceful vibe just like the rest of Kota Bharu. Antiques, gold jewelleries and souvenirs stalls can be seen at the entrance and eateries on the top floor. An iconic 'ladies market' that is a must see. A visual extravaganza - from all floors - start with ground then get views from floors 1 and 2 - great architecture and people scenes.”

“Breakfast shop where you can find every type of “nasi” aka Malay rice and Malay style dessert aka “kuih muih”.”

“Located in the heart of Kota Bharu City Center, not more than 200m from Gelanggang Seni (Cultural Center) and Kelantan State Public Library, about 1.5km from Villa Yusmah. The architectural design is based on Islamic concept and local traditional arts. The design of the building consists of domes (which are normally found on mosques), and its main entrance archway was based on Madinah mosque. Most traders in Bazaar Tok Guru focus on fabric products, such as tudung bawal asli, kain sembahyang, kain batik, kain ela, kain sarung, kain pelikat, etc. There are also a number of sundry shops selling snacks or drinks for the kids while shopping. On the top floor, there is a food court. Lately, the state government has taken initiative to place Kota Bharu Art Market on the second floor of Bazaar Tok Guru. Bazaar Tok Guru is considered a shopping heaven for ladies shopping for fabrics.”

“Gelanggang Seni is the town's cultural center and where you should head for this region's dose of Malay tradition. Admission is free and you'll be able to see top spinning, silat martial arts demonstration and kite making. You will even be able to join in the chicken-feather-ball game which is fun for all ages.”

“It serves the tradisional delicacy of Kelantan i.e. ayam percik, solok lada, nasi kerabu biru, etc.”

“Delicious and tasty food. Highly recommended Lunch & Dinner #Local food #Thai Food #Western Food ”

“Must try: *halal* Nasi Kukus infront of Digi & 7-eleven convenient mart. One of the best steam rice + fried chicken + curry in town ”
