Terengganu - food in the city

Hawker Square

The Hawker Square is on the street parallel to chinatown. So if all that walking has worked up an appetite, then go savour the local favourites at the square. There is a variety of indian, chinese, malay and nonya food here. Plenty of choices from so many stalls and a bowl of noodles may cost you only RM2.50 or a plate of nasi minyak( a favourite east coast rice dish) costs only RM3.00.

Jalan Banggol/Jalan Lorong Haji Jamil

There is a stall that opens for business between 5pm and 7pm which sells delicious 'nasi dagang', a rice speciality of Terengganu. The rice looks a little like brown rice and is served with a choice of chicken, beef or fish curry and pickled vegetables.

If you cant make it for the evening hours, there is another stall that opens in the morning selling nasi dagang, just 40m from the mentioned stall.

By the side of Hotel Seri Malaysia

This shop looks like it's been hastily put together for the night but has indeed been around for a number of years. It sits just by the side of the hotel, in front of a tiny chinese temple facing the riverfront. This chinese restaurant serves up decent noodles, vegetable dishes and nice seafood at reasonable prices. If you're not sure about the price for seasonal dishes especially seafood varieties, do ask first - ask if they are charging you RM/kilo (metric system) or RM/kati (imperial system) and then you can dictate the amount you want.

This place sells cold beer and opens from late evening until midnight or so.
