Ramadan Bazaar @ Kuah Town, Langkawi Kedah

Friday 5th October 2007. It was a clear blue day in Langkawi.

Having had a late lunch, we wandered around Kuah town, and stumbled upon a Ramadan bazaar nearby.
It's located next to the Kuah Town Market.

A stall selling all sorts of curry dishes, lined with huge woks on charcoal stoves.

Some kind of meat curry.

Korma dish.....this one smelled yummy!

Jellies in boxes.

Jelly with lychee bits.


Watermellon-shaped jelly.....realistic down to the spongy texture. Before cutting.

After cutting.

Pumpkin with custard filling. Never seen this before, until now.

Close-up of the custard-filled pumpkin.

Rows of sata (not satay) on the grill. RM1.00 for a stick of four satas.

Thicker-than-usual murtabak with lots of filling.

Price of murtabak, about the same as KL.

Nasi tomato with gorgeous red chicken pieces.

Green (pandan flavoured) tofu fah.

Long row of assorted kuih, as far as the camera lense can capture.

The dishes were so colourful, I had to take a shot.

Lala....my perennial favourite, this time in curry style.

Sotong (squid) sambal.........crimson heaven!

BBQ chicken......no signboard on stall, I'm guessing it's tandoori flavoured.

Huge pile of coconuts.

Air nira nipah (nipah sugar water). Each packet costs a cool RM3.00, it's supposed to be pure undiluted juice from the nipah palm. I have been wanting to try this for a long time, and we both finally did! The first greedy slurp had me gagging.....I expected it to taste like coconut water (something to that effect anyway), instead, it tasted like chicken backside (or rather, what I imagine chicken backside to taste like). It's deceptively vile. Never again! Ever!

Deep-fried quails.

They even sell deep-fried chicken bits (neck and feet)!

Popiah in the oil.


Lemang.....glutinous rice barbequed in bamboo.

Lemang price list.

A plethora of fish on the grill.

More fish.

Hardtail scad fish bursting with sambal filling.

Ulam bar.

More ulam (raw/semi raw vegetables for a Malay-style spicy salad).

Kerabu bar. Everything at RM2.00/packet.

Mango kerabu. Yum!

Cow's stomach kerabu....too "exotic" for us.

This was my favourite stall, Geopark tandoori chicken. It's also one of the most popular stalls, the chicken was sold out real quick.

Tandoori chicken, RM4.00 per piece. Tastes really good, I think they must have marinated the chicken overnight as the flavour soaked right into the flesh.

Ramadan Bazaar @ Section 14, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

We are both addicted to the sweet bubur desserts sold by one of the stalls here. They have huge pots of this stuff every day, and if you come a bit later (say around 6.00pm), chances are, some of the varieties would already be sold out. We keep coming back to this Ramadan bazaar just for the bubur alone. Each packet costs RM2.00.

Sago and green beans....with lots of santan.

Sago and bananas........with lots of santan. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
Santan with lots of sliced jellies, tapioca bits, cendol, jackfruit, sago and sweet potatoes floating around.....I would call it bubur chacha but the stall owner calls it something else. This is my favourite due to the variety of ingredients.


The stall selling the sweet bubur desserts......notice the huge pots....many almost empty.

A variety of fish and squid being grilled on the hotplate.

And lala which was sold out in 5 minutes.

Here's the seafood price list.

A table full of different curry dishes for Nasi Padang.

Nasi Padang price list.


Daging masak merah.......with a really pink tinge.

Ayam percik....the regular parts.

Ayam percik........the "other end" of the chicken.

Ayam percik.........innards.
Hahaha this pricing board made us laugh.....see the last item listed.

Kuih talam on board the mothership.

All cow parts for the sup gearbox.

The long ones are cow tongues ok.

Cow stomach. Moooo.

Cucur ikan bilis (anchovy) batter.

Cucur ikan bilis after a swim in hot oil.

Ok this speaks for itself. Never eaten this though....wonder what fruits are used to make this.

Good old nasi lemak.

Rows of ready-cooked dishes.


Popiah basah, there's always a lot of people queueing up at this stall.

Section 14, Petaling Jaya

If you are coming from Jaya supermarket which is behind you, Digital Mall will be on your left. Go straight for a short distance more and you will see the Ramadan Bazaar on your left. Can't miss it, the popiah basah stall is at the entrance and it's always crowded.
