Kelantanese Leha Kelfood - Melati Utama, Setapak, KL
The name doesn't look Kelantanese at all. Yet this restaurant (2 lots) has struck the right chord with the local populace. Open almost all day it serves over 100+ dishes. I spotted different types of nasi, sweet bubur desserts, laksa, lemak, gulai, soup etc. And don't forget the Malay 'tai chow'. These warrant more visits. Watch out for more posts.
I was there for a quick late dinner with my family and was piqued with curiosity at the the array of exotic food that is so hard to find. Many will find their comfort food here. No price given as food was paid for a friend I once mentored for a season. He came in after an exercise session.
P/S - My 365 days of blogging has come and go, 3 days ago. I took some time to reflect and think. It was a good ride 264 posts, about 11,000 Sitemeter page visits and 7,000 hits later. The last 3 months was phenomenal (in my standards) as I can see a good spike in daily traffic. Thanks to all my friends in the blogosphere. We share one passion, eating and writing about it!
Directions: Coming from Zoo Negara MRR2 take the Wangsa Maju and also the Taman Melawati flyovers. Another 2-3 hundred meters turn into the shophouses. From Kepong MRR2 , U-turn under the Taman Melawati flyover.
Added Gulai Daging. It was in brilliant reddish orangy colour, meat was very tender and the spices aromatic. A feast for the senses actually.
The Sup Perut has wonderful tripes that are crunchy and firm without being chewy. The bountiful serving was good exercise for the jaws. However, the sup lacked the Malay zing. Too light in spices for my liking.

Nasi Kerabu. Dry beef, lemongrass, tempe, and many more spices and herbs to go with the bluish rice!

Kelantannse food? First time to see. It's been a big news everday on TV and media about the Prince from Kelantan, here in Indonesia.

BSG... Actually checking things out. Maybe LX3?!
Selba... I am satisfied at how things are turning out. But still so much to learn. I am sure that Indonesians loved Siti Nurhaliza:)
