  • The best place to start in Alor Setar is Pekan Rabu. a crowded place where you can find anything authentic and unique about the malays in Kedah. To try authentic Kedah's food, try Restoran Mustaffa in Pumpong (maybe has changed name), where you can try gulai keli, gulai tulang, daging panggang, sayur keladi, sup tulang, and many other tasty malay dishes, Kedah style. Or, if you want really good nasi kandar, try Nasi Lemak Ali, open after 5 pm. Now there is another restaurant in Simpang Kuala, Restoran Aina, also serves good food. Some people would recommend mee abu, but I have tried once, quite okay but nothing special for me. To the outsiders, they may not see the beauty of Alor Setar, but for me who have stayed there, it is the hometown I like to be in. I want to go back to this nostalgic place.
  • Hai, I am a Singaporean who married with a Kedah bornman. I went back to kedah every year during school holiday. The first time I step in Kedah was in 1995, when I married to my hubby. The place is very different fm other province that I hv visited. It was quite clean. The people are very friendly. Even i really understand their language, my hubby will interpret for me. But now I can understand them better, but still can't talk like them. : ). The weather was really very very hot. But the food there was fantastic. Especially during the fasting month. I love to eat pesembor, laksa buyong, cucuk udang n laksam at the pasar malam. Which U cannot get in Singapore. And the best thing is the ICE KACANG BARCELONA at opposite Gaint, Alor Merah. I even bought a house there, we make it like a homestay. I always looking forward to go back there during June holiday.
