Explore Kelantan

Nama samaran nya "sugha" (pronounce su - mcm susu- gha -mcm lara cuma biasa pelat klate ni "r" dia pekat sikit. Tu yg jadi "gha" mcm huruf "ghain" dalam huruf arab hijaiyyah) Nama yg lebih dikenali di negeri2 lain di Malaysia "Bubur Assyura" Haaa sekarang dah terjawab sikit persoalan kan amende lah makanan ni hehe.

If you are in Malaysia, you should definitely head east to the East Coast state of Kelantan, where this delicious tea was invented.
