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.
