2025 Kulim Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay 📍Address:6-1, Jln Selasih, Taman Semarak, 09000 Kulim, Kedah, 马来西亚 Tucked away on a quiet corner of town, I stumbled upon Refined—the kind of place that doesn’t ask to be found, but rewards those who do. The highlight of my visit? Their shakshouka bagel. It arrived warm, with a gentle aroma of slow-cooked tomatoes, garlic, and just the right hint of spice. The egg nestled in the center was perfectly soft, its golden yolk ready to melt into every bite. All of it piled high on a freshly toasted bagel—crisp on the outside, soft within. Every mouthful was layered: tangy tomato, the richness of egg, a touch of cumin and paprika, and that satisfying chew of a good bagel. Simple, yet so thoughtfully done. It didn’t feel like brunch—it felt like comfort. Like something made in a quiet kitchen with love. The kind of meal that makes you slow down and breathe for a moment. Refined may be hidden, but it’s exactly where it needs to be. And I’m already dreaming of my next visit… maybe with a friend, maybe just me and another shakshouka.

This restaurant is located in Lunas, Kedah, Malaysia. This hidden gem serves many delicious nyonya cuisines in an old kampung house. A few good choices are the pork knuckle, loh bak and many others. Very nice and classy Baba Nyonya dining environment. The food good too, lobak and potato leaf fries belacan is just very tasty , a must try. Unfortunately no proper parking area. Definitely will come back again. #deliciousfood #foodie #tripblazers

The most affordable western food in Kulim. The environment is one of the kind in Kulim, definitely an awesome place to visit with your family and friends. The location is next to a very busy road. Parking is available but limited. Beautiful and vintage decorations. Nice environment, very retro and relaxing. The food is just OK, not that superb, not bad either, but the price is reasonable. I remembered this used to be a place to selling old reclaimed woods for interior design. Added with antics and memorabilia items. Very interesting and insta worthy spots.. Highly recommended! #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie #cafe #nicedecor #besttrip2022

This restaurant is one of the famous and popular restaurants. Its location is located in Kulim town. It serves various western menus. The prices are very reasonable and comparable to the appealing taste. If you are a fan of western food, you must come here. The menu that is my choice and favorite is lamb shank, beef spaghetti and beef nachos cheese. The food preparation service is also fast. If you plan to come on a weekend night, make sure to come before 8 pm. #awesomepic There is also a parking lot near the restaurant location.

If you happen to stay at Fuller Hotel, Kulim, please go and try the tasty nasi kandar at Nasi Kandar Yasmeen. The restaurant is in the same building as the hotel and just next to the reception lobby. There are various choices of chicken served with nasi kandar. You can find a long queue every day especially during peak hours such as lunch and dinner. The price was also very affordable and suit with the serving quantity. They have a serving robot who will go around to serve your drinks. I ordered nasi kandar with fried chicken as in the first photo. It only cost me RM5.70 per plate. The taste was very nice you would be craving for more 🤤

Kapitan restaurant is known for their briyani and had many branches across penang and kedah. We went to the one in Kulim today and decided to try the Milani Briyani. It was a creamy grilled chicken (the chicken was so soft by the way) served with a green sauce and onions. Not sure what is inside the creamy sauce but it gave a sweet taste with a bit of spices. Do not worry - it is not spicy at all. It was perfect for an eastern palette. The serving was just nice per one person. Had a very scrumptious meal and was so satisfied of the taste. Will repeat again to try the other menus which looked so much delicious too 🤤 Price - RM 14.70 per plate

Keda Kulim is a place that even the locals don’t know much about. It can be said that this place is 100% imitating the characteristics of some failed attractions in China, but it doesn’t show its characteristics at all. It seems that the building was built for the sake of building. I don’t know how the investors raised funds to build it, or whether it was built for the purpose of transferring funds. It’s really a pity! #kedah kulim MBI DESA KJ

📍Address: 轻舟小院 114, Jalan Lebuh Bandar 3/1, Bandar Putra, 09000 Kulim, Kedah, 马来西亚 Stepping into the restaurant, I was immediately struck by its warm and inviting atmosphere. Soft lighting, tasteful decor, and a relaxed vibe made it feel like the kind of place equally suited for a quiet family dinner or a cozy date night. There’s something comforting about a space that feels both welcoming and just a little special. What really caught me off guard, though, was the food itself. At first glance, we ordered dishes that seemed pretty standard — the kind you might find at countless other places. But from the very first bite, it was clear there was something different here. The ingredients tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and every dish had its own unique twist. Whether it was a subtle difference in seasoning, a surprising texture, or simply the balance of flavors, each plate felt carefully crafted rather than routine. I especially appreciated the portion sizes. They were generous enough to leave me satisfied, but not so heavy that I felt uncomfortably full afterward. For dinner, that balance matters — nobody really wants to leave the table feeling stuffed and sluggish. Instead, I walked away feeling content, with room to enjoy the evening. Overall, it turned out to be one of those meals that quietly impresses you: not because of extravagant dishes or flashy presentation, but because familiar flavors were treated with respect and a hint of creativity. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why simple, well-made food can still surprise you — and why dining out is about so much more than just eating.

📍 The Three by san3dumpling 374, Jalan Lebuh Bandar 4, Bandar Putra, 09000 Kulim, Kedah I ordered their signature 炸肉卤肉饭, and it was the kind of dish that instantly hits the spot — crispy, golden pork paired with rich, savory braised sauce over fluffy rice. Hearty, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Also tried the 蛋饼, which was soft and warm with a slightly crispy edge — simple, homestyle, and just the right balance of eggy goodness. If you’re craving soulful Taiwanese-style comfort food in a cozy setting, The Three is definitely worth a visit. A hidden gem for rice bowl lovers. 🍚🥢#food #summervacay

📍Refined Coffee, Kulim This what i order: 🍵 Matcha: Smooth, creamy, and just the right balance of earthy and sweet. You can tell they use good matcha — no bitterness, just pure comfort in a cup. ☕️Latte: A perfectly balanced latte (smooth, creamy, just rightThe latte was not too strong, just the right amount of coffee and milk. A cozy kind of drink you could sip all morning. Shakshouka: Warm, flavorful, and super satisfying. The tomato sauce was rich and slightly spicy, with perfectly cooked eggs and feta on top. Loved dipping the bagel slice into it — every bite was delicious. If you’re a bagel lover, you have to give this place a try and also If you’re around Kulim and want a cozy place for good coffee and brunch, this place is worth checking out. #summervacay

Reasonable pricing with great accomodation. One of the reasonable accomodation in Kulim. Been here few times
