Chinese Night Market

Reviewed By Syme0n - Alor Setar, Malaysia

Exactly as stated by the title. This section is a cut-out piece of land reserved mostly for the Chinese community. With trades ranging from dried-foods to hawker stalls and the typical coffee shops/houses, you would find yourself spoilt for a diversified range of food assortments.
Take a walk around this road which is Jalan Kebun Sultan and allow yourself some time to sample the delights of the local delicacies with a tinge of Siamese touch in all their food. You won't regret the stroll down KB's famous food lane.

This is a Halal Chinese restaurant with authentic Malaysian Chinese food taste, very rare. Must try the fish head curry with steam bread. Don't miss this place if you are in Kota Bahru.

Muhibah Bakery

Reviewed By migratoryley - Kathmandu, Nepal

We tried and adored aallll the bakeries in Malacca. All those kaya puffs, everything was great there. So we were expecting the same in Kota Baru and this bakery has been a huge disappointment. The puffs are super dry (and barely have any kaya or taste inside). The chocolate tarts are not that good. Everything else is WAY too sweet, even for Malysia, so sweet that we had a hard time eating it. Even the strawberry shake... I asked twice since I know here they are used to put syrop or sugar everywhere: just strawberry and yoghurt? Yes? Annnnnd bim. I had indeed fresh strawberries mixed with fresh plain yoghurt and I would imagine, half a kilo of syrup.
...
On the bright side, they have a good wifi. But that's not the reason that drove us there...

Night Market

Reviewed By melissa990 - Woy Woy, Australia

After being in Kota Bharu 18years ago, we returned and very disappointed to see not only the night market venue had moved but also decreased in size and severely lacking the vibrant atmosphere that made it so special. There are still a number of stalls around selling usual local fare and at least we were able to have our long awaited murtabak pisang (banana murtabak). That did not disappoint and was glad to see it was still one of the most popular stalls.
Not many places to sit and eat unless you buy food or drinks from the places under cover with Seating.
Generally an ok place, but wouldn't be rushing to go back.

Restoran Golden City

Reviewed By Ganesh Kumar G - Kota Bharu, Malaysia

Good choices of draught beers and other non-alcoholic drinks. The food choices not much but adequate for hangout with friends while having drinks. I would recommend "The chick in blanket" and "chicken popcorn". Since there is not much pubs/bars in Kota Bharu, try to get there early during weekend or else getting table will be solely on your luck. A place to chill when you visit Kelantan precisely Kota Bharu.

White House

Reviewed By mnasiruddin - Kangar, Malaysia

Specifically went there for the local ground coffee, half boil egg and the charcoal grilled bread. This outlet only opens for breakfast and at night. Always full, so be patient to wait for your seat. May have to share table with others if you are alone or in a small group.
Don't miss this place when you are in Kota Bharu.

New Horizon Gardens

Reviewed By MccKL - KL

I would recommend this restaurant for those who really enjoy tasty food plus it is senior citizens and kids friendly. I love this place because the chefs upgrade/add the menu from time to time and the food tastes really good. During table reservation, the receptionist was really helpful when I asked for recommendations. I love all the food that she suggested! Customers might have tendency to stick with the same menu. Like me, I loved the nyonya style fish but next time I think I should give a try to other fish menu for a change. Do inform the receptionist all special request and she would be happy to accommodate the customers. My family & I were really happy having lunch & dinner there and we could not wait for the next occasion!

Hot white stim rice with fried herbal chicken and tasty Kelantanese sauce. It is a hawker stall, if you do not mind the environment. Taste is superb.
