Sutera Semai





Located five minutes from Kuala Terengganu, this popular destination is Malaysia's pioneer silk-weaving center. Here you can discover and experience the wonder of silk manufacturing. Watch the various processes of silk productions, from spinning into yarns, textile-weaving and also batik printing. Beautiful handpainted and printed batik is available at the showroom.

Batik painting is an exquisite and delicate art which requires skill, patience and meticulousness. In batik painting, brightly coloured floral motifs are painted in stages onto dyed cloths. Songket, a piece of dyed silk material weaved with gold and silver threads, is the clothing for royalties, and Malay brides and grooms at their weddings.

It is also often worn during special ceremonies and occasions such as on Hari Raya Aidilfitri (the celebration which marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month). There are many batik and songket centres in and around Kuala Terengganu, which produce and sell them.
