Masakan Kampung

Nestled in the village of Kg Permatang Merbau 2, Kampung Tikam Batu Tiga, Masakan Kampung invites diners to step back in time with authentic Malay dishes prepared using age-old family recipes. Every dish is cooked the traditional way — from wok-frying over open flame to steaming in banana leaves — preserving the genuine flavours of rural Kedah. Kuala Muda is a fertile district renowned for its rice paddies, coastal fisheries, and tranquil village life. This restaurant takes full advantage of the area's abundant local produce — from fresh catches off the Kuala Muda coastline to vegetables harvested from nearby farms. Signature offerings typically include classic village fare such as salted fish preparations, ayam percik, sambal prawns, and an assortment of fresh ulam (herbs and raw vegetables) typical of Malay village meals. Dining at Masakan Kampung is a uniquely nostalgic experience. Set in a traditional village setting, the restaurant offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where guests can feel right at home — much like being at a grandmother's house, enjoying food prepared with love and care. The friendly service and genuine hospitality complete the kampung experience. For travellers seeking to explore Kedah's culinary heritage beyond the city, Masakan Kampung in Kuala Muda is an ideal stop. The best time to visit is during lunch hours when dishes are at their freshest. Be sure to ask about the daily specials, as menus often depend on seasonal ingredient availability.
