Laksa-Janggus-Kg-Perlis-Balik-Pulau-Penang

Today, my food exploration continues with the famous Laksa Janggus located at Kg Perlis in Balik Pulau, Penang.

This malay laksa stall is frequented by many Malays from the neighbourhood. Even Chinese and other races also come to experience this mouth watering laksa.

You can choose the standard or the special at RM2.50 and RM3.50 respectively. The latter has slightly bigger serving and includes egg.

I would rate this laksa to be highly recommended and is on par with the famous Chinese Laksa in the Balik Pulau town. The stall opens everyday except Wednesday from 3.30pm to 7.30pm. Besides the laksa, they also serve other types of food such as the koay teow or bihun noodle soup as well as the fried banana.


This fried banana or commonly called as pisang goreng locally, is another popular delicacy in Laksa Janggus.

You may want to know how to get to this Laksa Janggus Balik Pulau. I was using the Jln Sg Pinang route from Balik Pulau town. There is a left turning to Jalan Bahru (Jalan Baru). Turn into this road and just follow the road that leads to Pulau Betong. You can see the Laksa Janggus stall on your left just beside the road before reaching Pulau Betong.

Moontree-47-Kopitiam-in-Penang-Heritage-House

Rather than gooing for the usual brunch in Penang, I gave a try in one of the coffee shop in Georgetown. This coffee shop known as Moontree 47 is located along Jalan Muntri. What amazed me about Moontree 47 is the shop being part of the heritage houses in Penang. It is a nice place to laze around and enjoy the cozy atmosphere.









Below are some of the antiques and decorations of Moontree 47.









There are quite a selection of food menus and I took the Souvlaki as my main dish. Food is okay but I personally feel that the main attraction of this place is the old Chinese style architecture and its surroundings. So, why not give a try to this place while enjoying the heritage trails around Georgetown?

In near future, Moontree 47 will have homestay and I am sure that will attract many visitors.

Penang Food at Ingolf and Wai Kee

Last Friday, I had my dinner at Ingolf Kneipe, one of the famous Western Restaurant in Penang. It is a German restaurant located at Jalan Sungai Kelian, 11200 Tanjong Bungah, Pulau Pinang Tel 04-899-5796‎. If you know the way to Penang Chinese swimming club, this restaurant located opposite of it where you will have to turn left just after a petrol station along the way to Batu Feringgi.


My all time favourite is the big serving of Julian's Mixed Grill consisting bacons, sausages, beef, pork and lamb chop. It is advisable to make reservation before getting to the restaurant.

The following day, I had my favourite Char Siew rice at Wai Kee. This is also another popular eating place in Penang and located at the Sky Hotel in Chulia Street.


The char siew or honey gazed pork taste really good. Do get there early as this hawker kopitiam always crowded with people and usually their famous char siew will be sold off about 1pm. Usually, I get there around 11.30pm and even so, I still have to wait for about half an hour for my serving to come. They also serve pork rip, roasted duck, roasted chinese sausages, soup and vegetables.

Kampachi Buffet Dinner

Yesterday, I had my Japanese buffet dinner at Kampachi, Hotel Equatorial Penang. The food was simply marvelous and there were plenty of Japanese food varieties to choose from.

This was one of my food selections and I had the octopus balls, soft crab roll, Unagi sushi and the grilled lobster. I think I had taken more than ten plates of food before my tummy surrender.

It was my first experience trying this pregnant fish known as Shishamo(Willow Leaf Fish). We eat them as a whole and the best part were the fish eggs. Surprisingly, they tasted great. I was wondering how this fish could carry so much eggs which occupied almost the entire fish body....
