Balik Pulau is located somewhere in Penang, Malaysia and its known for its famous Balik Pulau durians that has a rich taste and moderate size. Apart from the durians, my family and I didn't know what else was there in Balik Pulau. We decided that one day, we would visit there and find out.
That day...was today.
After visiting the Air Itam morning street market, we were just standing there deciding where to go. So after discussion, we decided : Balik Pulau! Taking the bus 502, we took a 1-hour journey along the twisted-like-a-snake road. I fell asleep so it didn't really seem long anyway. On straight roads, he was FAST. Luckily, on curves, he slowed down just enough to turn away from the hillside ledge.
Getting there, I noticed lots and lots of trees, considering its a hillside area. And it didn't turn out to be what we expected. I expected at least ONE shopping mall. Turns out, it's just a small town with no shopping mall in sight.
Hills!!
More Hills!!
So in the end, after seeing the whole street of durian stalls, we decided nothing much to see here. Popping into the nearby KFC, We ordered a small snack before heading back :)
There was like almost 5-10 stalls there...
The guy in front of us (hidden from camera) ordered about 35 sets for his football pals. Cool.
Reg Ice Lemon Tea + Large Wedges + Reg Coleslaw = My light snack
So after that, we sat through another hour of snake-like winding roads and another speeding bus by another speeding driver. And since I woke up about 7 a.m this morning, it's not my fault I fell asleep on the bus again, until we were somewhere near Komtar.
