KOTA BHARU: Nearly-extinct heritage dishes such as itik solor, kerabu beko, nasi 100, ros lidah and apam bakar were among those featured at a heritage food festival held here today.
“The festival showcases over 150 heritage dishes from 10 districts in Kelantan,&#8221; said Shaharuddin Abu Sohot, secretary-general of the ministry of tourism, arts and culture.
The festival is part of the ministry&#8217;s initiative to promote, preserve and sustain heritage food, especially those recognised as national heritage.
He said a total of 213 dishes have been placed on the national heritage registry, including Kelantan dishes such as nasi kerabu, kuih jala emas, budu, akok and solok lada.
The festival, held at the compound of Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium, was opened by the sultanah of Kelantan, Sultanah Nur Diana Petra.
Shaharuddin said the festival had a positive impact on the local economy by boosting traders&#8217; income and supporting the heritage food industry. “Programmes like this not only help introduce Kelantan’s heritage dishes to the grassroots but also provide income to the Kelantan community,” he said.
