This meaning dipping fried items🍢🍡🥟🍤 in a local Kelantanese sauce. Hmm…A special recipe ya😋🤤
It’s a famous local Kelantanese supper practice with a group of family members or friends 👭👬👫 right after a Muslim terawih prayer ☪️🤲🏻 Long queues everywhere especially the many food stalls/ restaurants along the Hospital Road & Yaakubiah Road @ Kota Bharu 😲😱
Most of the eating places will be selling “colek” till late night 🌃🌌/ early morning 🔅🔅only during Ramadan
This huge plate was specially prepared for SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 & her travelmates 👬👭👫 for 10-15pax. Generally Kelantanese will visit the “colek” stall, pick the fried stuffs 🍢🍡🥟🍤 for an individual or group of family members/ friends, the stall owner will then cut the fried stuffs into smaller pieces & put the dipping sauce right on top.

You may opt for a healthier “colek” i.e. fruits “colek” or similarily to fruits salad, especially females 👭👭👭 who would like to keelp slim body shape ya…Ha…Ha… 🤣😂
