Balik Pulau

Last week i brought my son, sister and niece went to Balik Pulau. We purposely went there for "cari makan" finding food. A famous wet market there called Pasar Balik Pulau. In this market you can find the famous foods well known by penangite is Laksa and Pasembur. Besides you also can get Penang products,like example preserved fruits (nutmeg, mango and papaya), nutmeg juice, nutmeg oil,nutmeg cream, crackers (fish & prawn), belachan, prawn paste and rice beauty powder (in malay called bedak sejuk) too. But i think very rare penangite (which not staying in Balik Pulau) know about the cheaper and delicious satay down there. If you want to know more about this satay stall then go to read my previous post dated on 15th November 2007. All the stalls at Pasar Balik Pulau will be moved to newly build market on this coming 1st December 2007. If you using the new road from Jalan Tun Sardun to Balik Pulau, you can see this new market (Kompleks Pasar Awam Balik Pulau) at your right side when you reach Balik Pulau.

There are 3 ways you can go to Balik Pulau.
1.) From Teluk Kumbar (Bayan Lepas), it is called "OLD Road" by penangite.
2.) From Teluk Bahang.
3.) From Jalan Tun Sardun, it is called "NEW Road" by penangite.

I am from Paya Terubong and turn to the right is Jalan Tun Sardun. This is the new road to Balik Pulau.

About reaching Balik Pulau, this is the road from Jalan Tun Sardun.
