Kelantan Darul Naim, or simply known as Kelantan, is one of the
most interesting states in Malaysia. The Arabic honorific, "Darul Naim"
meaning "The Beautiful Abode" in English, perfectly describes
Kelantan, as this state is indeed beautiful and rich in cultural heritage.
I
would say that Kelantan Darul Naim is the richest state in Malaysia where
culture and tradition is concerned.
One
of the most interesting places to travel to in Kelantan is the Siti Khadijah
Market. This market is named after Prophet Muhammad's entrepreneurial wife.
I personally think that a good way to get to know a Malaysian town is to
visit its markets. That's where you'll see all the bustling activities of
bargaining, the sounds of laughter and the occasional sounds of shouting by the
vendors to promote their goods. When you are here, it's interesting to note that the majority of traders here are women and they are very entrepreneurial.
This market has something for everyone. Vegetables, local delicacies,
traditional pastries (kuih-muih), fresh tropical fruits, dried food
items such as fish crackers, salted fish, meat floss and a selection of local
craft.
