Its at Pumpong. Near Kedah medical Hospital. Gulai kawah means like Curry cooked in big "kuali"

is it far from alor setar? ah whats the restaurant/stall name?

Not far. About 2-3km aside of Alor Setar town. Pumpong Nasi Kampung.

Prawn fishing at Simpang Kuala, about from 5-10 minutes by car from town.

azlanlim, is it a lake or in door ones? and how much is the pay?

Entertainment? Maybe you can hang out at Fun Fair behind the Alor Star Mall, it's about 15-20 minutes from town. But open at night only.

F&B? You can try Royale Nasi Lemak, not far from prawn fishing shop at Simpang Kuala. Taste good and reasonable price.

Or maybe you can go to Menara Alor Star, good place to "lepak" and "cuci mata"
