Kuantan: Tourist Entertainment Guide

Kuantan is a diner’s delight offering a truly gastronomic experience. Local cuisine is Pan-Malaysian - Malay, Chinese, Indian or Nonya (Strait Chinese) and can be savoured at the many restaurants and food stalls in the city, at the multicuisine restaurants in hotels or from hawkers who peddle their ware on the streets. All time favourites with locals and visitors are the endless variety of dim sums, noodles, laksa, roti canai, satay, nasi lemak and rice dishes cooked with an assortment of vegetables, seafood or chicken.

For those who want a change from Asian food, French, Italian, Mexican cuisines and American fast food is as easily available as local food. Popular drinks include fresh fruit juices, aerated drinks, iced lemon tea, teh tarik (hot tea) and beers, brewed locally or imported. Pubs, discos, karaoke lounges, cinema houses, cineplexes and an enormous indoor amusement park are just some choices for an entertaining day/evening out.  Cultural highlights would include live performances of local music, dances and the Malay martial art form, Silat.
