In the heart of Alor Setar, Ahmad Foo brings a refreshing twist to classic Chinese food – fully halal, affordable, and packed with flavor. This vibrant yellow eatery offers an inviting and inclusive dining experience for everyone to enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine with peace of mind. 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: The atmosphere is casual with an old-school Malaysian kopitiam feel. Walls are painted bright yellow and decorated with nostalgic Chinese-inspired art that reflects the concept of food unity (pemersatu rasa). It’s unpretentious, busy during lunch hours, and perfect for a hearty meal with friends or family. What To Eat: Must-try dishes from the menu include: • Nasi Ayam Hainan – Steamed chicken served with aromatic rice, homemade chili, and ginger paste. • Nasi Itik Teochew – Braised duck with bold soy-based Teochew flavors. • Koey Teow Th’ng Itik – A comforting duck noodle soup. • Koey Chap Duck – Rich, savory broth with duck slices and rice noodle rolls. • Tauhu Teochew, Salad Teochew, and Taugeh Teochew – authentic side dishes with bold local flavours. • Nyonya Cendol (RM6.80) – Topped with thick gula melaka and creamy santan, perfect for Kedah’s sunny weather. Service: Order at the counter, grab your number, and your food is served fast and hot. The staff are helpful and service is efficient even during peak hours. 💰Average Price per Person: Reasonable and student-friendly. You can enjoy a full meal under RM15. Family set meals are also available for sharing. 💞Reasons to Recommend: This is not your typical chicken rice shop. Ahmad Foo celebrates Malaysia’s multicultural palate, blending halal standards with Chinese culinary traditions – and doing so with a clear identity and purpose. Local Tip: • Come early for lunch as tables fill up quickly. • Great for takeaway and easy to spot with its bright yellow-green branding. • Suitable for Muslim diners looking for Chinese comfort food in a halal setting. #springitinerary #ahmadfoo #halalchinesefood #alorsetareats #kedahfoodie #malaysiaeats #tripcommalaysia #tripcomhiddengems #halalfoodmalaysia #comfortfoodmalaysia #foodieasia #cendolsedap #chinesemalayfusion #tripcomfeatures
