Kelantan is a shopper's haven with not only traditional handicrafts on sale but a wide selection of goods from across the Thai border as well. Gorgeous silk kaftans, batik scarves, silver trinkets and rich songkets all vie for attention. Baskets of every hue, handbags woven from mengkuang and place mats are also on sale. The shopper will find endless delights to captivate him. Bargaining is part of the excitement. Often, a little patience will get you the best prices. You can shop at the bazaar, shopping complexes and the New Central Market.

Bazaar Buluh Kubu Head to this bazaar if you're looking for bargains. This 3storey shopping complex is stocked with miniature souvenirs, knick-knacks and clothing. T-shirts, hats, key chains and silver ornaments make lovely gifts.

New Central Market Kelantan's Central Market is a riot of colour. Kelantanese stall holders conduct their business amidst rows of chillies, carrots, seafood and farm produce. It may surprise you that a majority of them are women. Perhaps this is a throwback to the fact that Kelantan was once ruled by a princess, Cik Siti Wan Kembang. Kelantanese women remain fiercely entrepreneurial and have been known to be hard bargainers.

Jalan Temenggong All along this street are tastefully-decorated shops offering their treasures of gold, jewellery, rich textiles and brassware. The quality is good whilst prices remain competitive .

Eating OutKelantan boasts unique cuisine with specialities like ayam percik, nasi kerabu and nasi dagang enjoying pride of place. Be adventurous and try the local fare. Restaurants and food stalls abound, and hawkers selling snacks can be found almost anywhere. At the junction of Jalan Padang Garong and Jalan Pengkalan Chepa, you will find Kota Bharu's Chinatown. Wan Tan mee curry mee, fried kway teow, etc., are readily available here.

Night Food Stalls Dining out in the open, under the stars, makes a pleasant change. Night food stalls situated opposite the main bus terminal are open from 6.00 pm to midnight and serve a delectable array of dishes. If you want to savour a truly Malaysian dining atmosphere, this is it!
