Kota Bahru Food Trip Pt. 8 - FINAL

The is the last installment in the Kota Bahru Food Trip series! The night before we left, we headed to Yati Ayam Percik (Spicy BBQ Chicken) for dinner. I had eaten at this place before many years ago and looked forward to it again as the chicken was delicious. Before I totally forget how it was, it was timely indeed that I manage to pay another visit to this place yet again, refreshing my memory and reminding my taste buds.
Located at 847, Jalan Long Yunus - you can smell the lovely aroma of food all around!
They sell plenty of local kuihs too....apart from the lovely Nasi Pulut Panggang
Food galore! Look at all these really big woks of dishes and different types of curry gravy!
There's a large grilling pit at one corner where all the cooking action is happening; staff basting the meat with the delicious gravy once in awhile.
We opted for plain rice with a bit of fried desiccated coconut, beansprouts, some leaves and gravy. Good enough to eat on its own!
Finally, the most delicious Ayam Percik I have ever eaten! The secret is in the gravy that makes it so good. Somehow, I have been unable to find the same tasty gravy served with Ayam Percik here in the Klang Valley. It's creamy with a hint of coconut and unknown wonderful spices (unknown to me, that is)...eating there, I was happy that we could ask for extra gravy. Now, this is what I call "Finger licking good!"

For those who might want to try their hand at cooking Ayam Percik themselves, I found some recipes online; here, here and here (might not be as good as Yati's though). Try your hand at them and let me know if any of them are good. If yes, do invite me for a meal! Ha ha ha...

If you are ever in Kota Bahru, this is one of the places that you must eat at! Opening Hours: Saturday-Thursday (noon-11.30pm); Friday (3pm-11.30pm) Phone: 09-7479867.

    Yati's ayam percik is out of this world! Never tasted anything like this before! I heard they have a branch in Klang Valley? They have branches in Kelantan & Terengganu...

    Did I just lose my comment? PC just shut down without warning. *sigh* Oh well, I just lamented that d ayam percik pic just made my 'tapau-ed' (packed) bbq pork rice taste bland.
    Most importantly, jo, where's the branch in KL?

    kat : If you look at the photo again, you'll also see trays at the upper part of the stall. The ayam percik is so yummy! Thanks for the compliment!

    Jo : Klang Valley? Both Tummythoz and I would love to know where. I've Googled and can't find anything on Yati's Ayam Percik in KV.

    tummythoz : Ah, wait till you get the chance to taste the ayam percik with its glorious gravy!

    kenny : No, I don't recall singing about ayam percik, though it would have been good too...I think I was singing about desserts and about going where to eat them. I wanted our conversations to be like in the broadway musicals but the rest were not that keen! LOL

    wonda : This would warrant as a good enough reason to visit KB itself! Good stuff here...

    joe : The reason there're all these food over 1 short trip is because I had the privilege of having my KB friend to bring me around. I definitely couldn't go around and eat alone :o)

    Mrs Pitt :Mmm...it's quite hot there in KB though :o)

    Kenny : How about us doing a play??? Ha ha...For me, I'm a behind the scene sort of person ;o)

    "Beneath the shaded place, there are some stalls
    They served a lot of food, for one and all...
    And though I turn away, my name they call
    The fooood, they're calling out to me....I must have all!"

    Hi, thanks for sharing all the wonderful places to eat in Kota Bharu. Came across your blog while searching for places to eat there. But I realized most of the places you recommended are either for breakfast or dinner or snacks. Where can we go for good lunch instead? :) Thanks.
