Sure it's fun to drive around and try new stuff, new food and new environment. sounds like i'm off to somewhere not in malaysia. hihih. i'm went back to penang last weekend and some how manage to squeeze in a lil trip to have laksa janggus with my bff, awe.
we went out for wolverine, tickets sold out and there's only couple of seats left in the front row. frustated, we tried to check other movies; it's just the same. i think people are using labour day as relaxing day or movie day like what we r doing now. we bought the front row seats. lucky enough the seats tilt back a bit so u won't cramp your neck while watching 2 hours of Hugh Jackman (wolverine), Danny Henney (zero) and Taylor Kitchs (gambit). Hehehe.. googled them after the movie.
so, after having so much of them, (their images planted in my head up until now) awe and i went off to balik pulau, even though she's staying in penang, she haven't tried laksa janggus yet. what's so special about laksa janggus?
honestly speaking, i'm not a huge fan of laksa. i've tried few laksa penang before. a friend of mine, shara is a big sucker for laksa. she can have it everyday. there are few places i went to and tried the laksa, like kuala kangsar laksa (sucks!), laksa shack (even worse! i don't think they should be allow to operate!).
laksa janggus serves penang style laksa. for those who doesn't know, there are different kind of laksa in malaysia, laksa penang, laksa kedah, laksa kelantan, laksa johor, laksa singapura. Laksa Janggus offers laksa penang, small bowl for RM1.20 and regular bowl for RM2.oo and u can't even finish the regular bowl. it's a lot. there's other meal as well, kuey teow soup, mee hoon soup and some cucur udang, pisang goreng and of course rojak! u have to q up to get your laksa and drinks. oh ya! apart from laksa, u should try ABC. air batu campur or in penang they are known as ais kacang.
don't be confused ya, laksa janggus (janggus is cashewnut) doesn't has cashewnut serves with any meals. it's just happened that the place is located under cashewnut's tree. lovely place. lovely village environment.
how to get there? well, basically u have to get to penang first, then just follow a signboard to Balik Pulau, u can take Relau or Genting to get to Balik Pulau. Once u r in Balik Pulau, search for Pulau Bentong or Kampung Perlis, once u've turn in, turn left on the first junction, drive on till u see a pink mosque/masjid, turn right on it just drive straight, u can see there's lots of cars parked alongside of the road. laksa janggus would be on your right. it's open everyday except wednesday, 2pm till 7.30pm.
have fun!
