Short distance from the hotel... it was a hot sunny day....
After around 15 minutes or so, we reached Balik Pulau town...
The heritage landmark of Balik Pulau...
The rooster roundabout has been there for decades..
The Tourist Place for Laksa!
But before I took the laksa, I finished this sweet pumpkin pau filled with red beans...
Very nice... Cost RM1 each..
I should buy more to take back to Ipoh!
Then followed by this...
Noodles drowned within....
... in no time... all tucked safely into my tummy!
Well, it did not end there...
It was still early and we walked along the main road till...
DESSERT TIME!
I think I know what your next post will be ;) ... That pumpkin pau is max yums, I have it once every few months, because I'm too lazy to drive all the way there..
ReplyDeleteRealgunners, now you know me pretty well by now.. ah.. hahaha.. Desserts time means Capital D.. .
DeleteLaksa must be very nice, your bowl sweep clean & clear. Guess you have a great time there hunting for food. Like what you always say..."have food will travel".
ReplyDeleteYeah.. but tasted not much... laksa, ktt and a dinner with rice.. :) of course, plus desserts..
DeleteFrom your bowl, the laksa must b very yummy, hehe...
ReplyDeleteMaybe I was too hungry already by then.. hahaha...
Deletewahhhhh sampai licin! ;)
ReplyDeleteJangan membazirkan.. hahaha..
DeleteHahaha very good :)
DeleteNow you see it now you don't, you are doing magic again
ReplyDeleteReana Copperfield ah? :)
Deletewah.. that pumpkin pau filled with red bean!!! i want to know hor, is that the red bean filling ooozing out and stained the whole pau, or those red bean is just toppings on the pau itself?? RM1 not expensive woh, you should have bought 5 dozens back to Ipoh lah~~
ReplyDeleteNo oozing.. just toppings! :) Yes, not expensive.. regretted didn't buy and poslaju also... hahahaa.. .
Deleteand that laksa!! aiyoyo!! i am totally stunned!! the soup really very kaw!! doesn't look like soup at all, but broth or shall i say macam porridge only!! the noodles also looked good leh, macam homemade themselves right??
ReplyDeleteNot sure.. but many people eating.. cos limited tables... perhaps one day you go try try?
DeleteOh yes, this is one of my favorite laksas!
ReplyDeleteSo when you said it is your favourite, it means GREAT!
DeleteWah .... laksa again ! Sobs ....
ReplyDeletePumpkin pau looks special, some more so cheap only!
ReplyDeleteYes, big some more.. but I can finish la..cos too hungry liow..
DeleteThe pumpkin pao looks very nice. I must go and eat it the next time I am in Penang. Wow, you drank all the assam laksa soup. Your stomach must be burning or sourish inside after that.
ReplyDeleteI also thought I would.. but I think the pumpkin pau absorbed it all.. hahaha...
DeleteIt looks very flat, and surrounded by mountains?
ReplyDeleteOn the way up only.. not really high up...
DeleteI would love to drop by such off-the-tourist-trail places in our country. We can get the true picture and the authentic taste of their best in town.
ReplyDeleteYes, true true... small town it is but tourists are swarming in too...
DeleteDrooling already seeing the assam laksa.. Oh my, look at the fish meat, like you said, drowned the noodles liao.. Pumpkin pau with red bean filling? Wow, then you get best of both worlds.. Pumpkin, and red bean.. I can easily wallop 2 or 3.. As for the noodles, ala, zi can down 2-3 bowls, mou man tai !!
ReplyDeleteWahhhhh... you really have Good appetite.. and a strong big stomach too! hahaha...
DeleteOK, will earmark this when I go to Penang :)
ReplyDeleteEarmark or bookmark..? Am I missing something here? :)
DeleteThe Penang laksa is not the same as Sarawak laksa. More like curry laksa??
ReplyDeleteNo.. nothing like laksa.. it is sourish.. and not santan-ic.. :)
DeleteOh goshh...the laksa is killing me. I wish to order 2 bowls!
ReplyDeleteNext time you can make a trip to Balik Pulau to taste them!!
DeleteThis quaint town never changed and I want to laugh at this laksa. During my school days we rode scramblers on narrow roads there to eat laksa until rumors spread that they put old newspapers inside to thicken its gravy. Bluek! Of course it was nonsense I think but some stalls added chicken feed to thicken the soup. That was a secret to its yummy taste.
