East Coast Trip (Day 2)

Woke up quite early to get a head start on the day.

Headed to Kopitiam Kita, an extremely popular joint with the locals, for breakfast. The crowds there were astounding.

Where: Kopitiam Kita
4357-A Taman Desa Jaya
Jalan Pengkalan Chepa
15400 Kota Bharu.

Here, they have all the rice from almost every district in Kelantan. All packed in little packets & grouped according to district of origin.

Pretty cool presentation, but be fast. The packets practically fly out the window basket.

We picked the following:

Grabbed the last packet there was before taking this photo. Empty basket must mean this rice is popular, therefore it must be good.

Another rice that was the last packet in the basket.

After breakfast we headed for the Siti Khadijah market. This market is a landmark in Kota Bharu & only women sell fresh produce under the dome of the market’s atrium.

We bought keropok (fish crackers) here & some souvenirs.

Then it was time for lunch!

Where: U-Lang Corner.

Next, off to do some sightseeing at the following temples:

1) Sleeping Buddha
2) Sitting Buddha (found this by accident so considered as “bonus” attraction)

Then off to Pengkalan Kubor for duty-free shopping & for Thai goods.

Bought some chocolates & snacks before heading to another beach, Pantai Seri Tujoh.

There’s sand along this beach. Yay!

Had a picnic of keropok & chocolates here!

We headed back to the hotel to unwind and relax by the hotel’s pool before going for dinner.

Bought this much today!!!

And then it’s time for dinner.

Where: Kengsom Thai Restaurant

Then off to another branch of Hayaki for supper!!

After supper we drove about aimlessly & ended up back at the airport (it’s just a small town).

& saw people sitting in the middle of the road watching football 😳

End of Day 2.
