The tour start at 4:30pm, 2 cars (Sunny and Waja), with 7 beautiful girls and 2 handsome guys. The road to Balik Pulau is never be easy, the long cum winding cum hilly road, will always give you surprise. So, tenses your nerve when you are driving, or we will see you in hell.
After approximately 30 minutes of drifting, we finally arrived the legendary Balik Pulau. We dared not spin around the town as we were newbies here. We definitely need a tour guide. The first person who came into our mind was Hong Yee, the Balik Pulau "Dai Ka Jie". She has quite some reputation in this area, everybody knows her and whenever you are in deep shit, no money to pay, got people bully you, etc, just split out her name. However, she is more known with her other glamourous name, RS - red shirt.
*Our tour guide - HY
Balik Pulau is an old town, it look exactly the same with the old streets at Bentong, Karak, etc, with all those historical British Colonial time building. Therefore, it gave me a strong feeling of belonging, as i had spend my some of my childhood in a small town like this. Everything seems so familiar to me. Most of the things were miniature, including the road, roundabout, fire bridge, etc. Before we started our first destination, we had a chance to take a glance at HY's former school, Sacred Heart. It has a historical catholic church with a thin long sharp rooftop. It is quite a landmark here. Too bad, we didn't stop for photo session.
Ok, finally, we were on our way to the first place, indian man's mee goreng. Honestly, the mee goreng was quite delicious (dunno is because of my stomach was so hungry at that time or not). Everything was great except for some hygienic issues. The Indian guy had used his hand to take the overflowed mee back to the plate and, tap water was used for making limau ais...
*The mee goreng were finished before i could take a photo, a pack of starving wolves.
After energised ourselves with the food, the next station was an unknown beach at Pulau Betung. Along the kampung road, we noticed that there were some local people fishing there, as the sea is just beside us. Look like we had ran into a fishing sanctuary. Too bad there were only me and lai who had bring our "rod", if u know what i mean... hehehe...
*The Turtle Island according to our guide.
15 minutes passed and we had arrived the beach. There were people taking their wedding album there, not a easy job as the scorching sun still high upon the sky. After some water splashing and sexy posing, we got to watch the sunset... It was so cool! But then, our stomach got hungry, we had to proceed our journey to hunt for our dinner.
*Group photo at the beach.
photographer: Go get your bitch back for the photo!
bridegroom: Sien... Dun want to marry her liao...
*Girls hiding in the rock.
*Ah Long pte. ltd. 2 - this time she is marrying 2 guys... y me?
*I am hunting for crabs, lobsters, shrimps, lala, kappa...
*No! sun please go away!
Again, you will never find the place if you are not leaded by HY. We need to go to a school first (ya, can you guess the gangster head of Balik Pulau is actually live behind the school? haha, just kidding), then u need to turn into a small thin path, and her house was just like popped out in a middle of no where. POP! Here we were, HY's house.
HY house has many dogs as any typical house in the orchard. After HY introduced her parents to us, we had eaten the fried "buah roti" / "so kun". No wonder Khor So Kun cant win during the election la, because Balik Pulau people keep eating "so kun". Haha!!! It's taste like fried yam, except it is a bit tasteless, so chilli sauce will be the best companion.
*Me and my buah roti.
Guess what were our dinner that night? Satay! It's not any ordinary satay, it is 25 cent each satay! So, what are we waiting for?
Half way we stopped at a fried chicken stall. It was not because the fried chicken was so delicious, it was mainly because the girls found out the owner was quite "engtao" and want to take a closer look. Anyhow, i still had my fried drumstick, not bad la.
* I never knew that my gf is opening a fried chicken stall here.
*Free urut, i should had gone for it.
Finally we arrived at the food court beside the bus station to have our satay. Honestly, the satay a bit small where you just need to have one bite to finish it. However, for only 25 cent, the satay tasted really delicious! Thumbs up thumbs up! Within few minutes, we had finished the 100 satays. We asked for more! and more and more! But the stall was closing at 9pm and they had ran out of chicken satay... Too bad!
*Behind the satay stall (before it got rained).
* We should had ordered 200 satays.
The night was still young which indeed it is, so we continue to climb all the way up to the mountain road, stopped, enjoyed the night view and breeze. It wasn't much light in Balik Pulau, most of them were tiny little light spot from each of the houses. The strongest one was the newly built bus terminal cum market cum food court. I personally think that it was a gift that not much city light in Balik Pulau. In Georgetown, the sky is in orange although night has fallen. It often make me sleepless, too bright for an old men like me.
*Captured by lai. The brightest spot is the terminal.
*Group photo on the way to a hill-top restaurant.
Night getting late. Sigh, due to some circumstances, i, as the humble driver, had to go home without spending some quality time with the others. In a car of 4 people, we were heading home while the others were enjoying their "dua bang" with nice chilled beers... T_T
