Balik Pulau Asam Laksa Near Old Market

Posted by on Thursday, July 23, 2009 · 3 Comments 

Balik Pulau’s  Asam Laksa is quite famous among Penangite. A few weeks ago, I went there with my parents to eat the Balik Pulau Asam Laksa. The famous one is the Balik Pulau market’s one but then during that trip to Balik Pulau, I found out that the whole Balik Pulau market was vacant and there’s no more food stall there.

According to some locals, the market has moved to the new place. Luckily, we found a Laksa stall opposite the old market site which was also the place for the famous Balik Pulau Laksa. I am not sure whether it is the one that used to be at the old market or not but after trying it, it’s good.

There’s a Chuan Heong Cafe just right opposite the old vacant market.

Well, the Asam Laksa is good and the laksa guy was kind enough to point us way around the little Balik Pulau county.

Another thing is, I found another Laksa stall beside the old market, this stall seems to have more people and it serves Siam Laksa besides Asam Laksa, so do you know any of these? =)

    [...] #32 Actually for assam laksa (also got lemak laksa), it originated from a small rundown town in Penang, Balik Pulau. Usually only locals will go this place as it's at the other end of island, far away from George town. My penang colleagues (food lovers) swear by this stall, to them those at Gurney drive are sub-standard. Went there 3x, first 2 time (few days apart) I'm the only customer as it was very early. Soup was power, whole bowl full of fish. The third time is recently, went around 2pm and it was packed. Quality drops and I suspect they add water. So if there is chance for you to try this stall, go early before 12. Balik Pulau Asam Laksa Near Old Market | SHIOK OR NOT [...]
