Kota Bharu's Central Market

The Siti Khadijah Market in Kota Bharu is among the most visually spectacular in Southeast Asia — a multi-storey market where upper floors are dominated by Malay women vendors in colourful headscarves selling nasi kerabu (blue rice), solok lada (stuffed peppers), and ayam percik (grilled coconut chicken) that represent the most authentic expression of Kelantanese Malay cuisine.
