Apart from delicacies influence by Thailand, there are delicacies, which are invented by the Kelantanese such as:

Nasi Kerabu or Nasi Ulam literally means "salad rice". Kelantan's Nasi Kerabu is a "white rice" or "dyed blue rice" and served with gravy with local herbs, leaves and vegetables. There are several varieties of local herbs; Daun Kentut, Daun Kudu, Cekur, seven types of Daun Larak and Kucing Seduduk, which is used to tint the rice in different colors; red, black or blue. Apart from that it is also served with strong flavored ingredients such as salted fish, dried prawns, fish crackers, Kerisik (fried grated coconut) and other savory garnishing.
