TASTE OF KOTA BHARU CAFE (TOKB) OPENS 28 MAY 2016

27 May 2016 , I am very happy, being invited to visit TOKB a day before opening.

  

TOKB Cafe short for Taste of Kota Bharu, Malaysia's first military concept cafe' serves Kelantanese dishes prepared by the two head chefs, namely Puan Norma binti Salleh from Kelantan, loving dubbed Kak Ma by all who know her and Lucas Lee, one of the two founders of the cafe.

The history behind this cafe literally got its beginnings from 'history'. "On 8 December 1941", Kota Bharu was invaded by the Japanese. The infamous attack on Pearl Harbour only took place 70 minutes later, and World War II was declared. Part cafe and part viewing gallery with various wartime memorabilla. TOKB Cafe focuses on serving authentic Kelantanese fare such as Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Dagang, Laksam, Nasi Rocket (Nasi Tumpang) and Teh Atom (Teh Tarik Madu).
