Laksa Kelantan

The Laksa dish, white noodles served with gravy (curry or otherwise) and vegetables, is made differently in every state in Malaysia. The laksa in Kelantan is richer and has a more full-bodied flavour. The main ingredient is fish flesh. Laksam is another version, with a thicker noodle (similar to kuey teow). Laksa or laksam is served with ulam similar to that in nasi kerabu, with a pinch of salt and belacan, a fermented shrimp paste.

Nasi Kerabu At Kelantan

Nasi Kerabu literally means "rice salad". Kelantan has a variety of nasi kerabu. Nasi kerabu biasa ("normal"), putih ("white"), hitam ("black", though the actual color is blue after the flower used as colouring in the recipe) and kuning ("yellow"), for the turmeric used in the cooking process). Each kerabu is usually served with a matching, traditional sambal. Thekerabu (salad) itself can be any combination of vegetables or edible leaves. It is also served with fried breaded fish, keropok keping (see below), salted egg, solok lada (chillies stuffed with minced fish and grated coconut), and pickled garlic. Importantly, a sauce called budu must be included for the dish to qualify.
