The makcik is very friendly, taught us Kelate and explained what dishes to order. First time there as we are from KL. The ayam gulai and the ikan keli goreng are recommended.
The chicken is crispy and it tastes so good! Ordered fried chicken but they say catfish(ikan keli) is also nice. During lunch, the restaurant is always full so if you guys want to avoid long queue, dont go during lunch.
One of the best nasi kukus in town.. No need to queue if dine in..
One of the best Nasi Sumatera in Kota Bharu. Lunch time usually packs with people. If you want to dine in just look for a table and they will come for you to take the order. Only queue up if you want to take away.
Really delicious and worth to try! Don't forget to try kerabu and other side dishes. But make sure don't be too late or u might regret! HAHAHA. The restaurant is so full! Definitely will go and eat there again and again! …
