Ais kacang and laksa utara is simply a marvellous combination for tea time! I kinda went into their other menu's offering there, kueyteow th'ng which is kind of a slightly sweet taste of a fish balls noodle chicken soup with a choice of spiciness level by adding up to a spoonful of separated chilli paste (sambal). Pisang goreng sesames is an excellent choice during tea time too.. there's other assorted menus aside offered too and tastes great! However.. there still no table service available from my 1st until the 3rd time of visiting the eatery this recent.. You have to queue, order, pay and collect your own food at the separate COUNTERS! Precisely..the food selection is divided up to 5 corner stalls including the drinks station, the fruit rojaks and gorengan stall located next to The all-time famous laksa pokok janggus stall were facing the eating area, Th'ng noodle and other ala cartรฉ meal stalls we facing the entrance. To me it was okay at the time as queuing and ordering sessions went smoothly and didn't wait long for the food to be prepared too, as we went there every time, outside the lunch hour. Did i mentioned that if it's your 1st time been here you would probably get the never ending journey feelings? As it is situated in a quite rural areas inside the Penang island, you'll confirmed arriving with a hungry stomach sensation even you just had your lunch earlier AND we went here on WEEKDAYS.. i dare not to imagine how chaotic and hassle the area could turn be during weekends.. With still patrons crowd around yet almost no queueing lines as most of them are done eating, yet still waiting for awhile as most of them went here in groups but still there are a few empty yet untidy tables. A few cleaning staff are available around to clean up the tables but it seems quite incompetent as the tables seems were left untidy for long until the new patron seated and have to organised the left over plates to be set aside.. Can't blame them entirely as the table arrangements make the walking aisle in between becoming not quite spacious whenever it's occupied by seating patrons in the front section tables, for the portable food waste and plates cart to run in for collecting the plates and cleaning the emptied tables at the back section and may disturbed other patron who were still eating. As a remote area eatery, my suggestion is for the self cleaning table used by patrons to be introduced or promoted. Patrons just have to put all their used cutleries, plates and all left over food back into their collecting meals tray, take it together as they make ways to leave and place it at a designated area located on their way out. All the cleaning staff left to do is to regularly maintain the cleanliness of this area by carrying the accumulated cutleries and plates to the washing area, and another cleaning staff could just slip around the remaining crowd in the eating areas to wipe and sanitise the emptied tables.. For the eating area, please note that this is originally a kampung house lawn area so it's an open area with trees surrounding it..for the table iso using tinned foil that may give a scratchy dull and unhygienic look over the time to suffice the wooden table top they can opt out of using a glossy and colourful thin acrylic plate to give a vibrant mood on the area as well as easy to be clean. Ceiling fan carried the heat from the zink roofing above a much hotter breeze under it making the eating area feel much hotter iso using wall mounted industrial fan with water mist that can be turned on during noon at every corner of the pillars facing centre is a much better option! And i know it's a rural area..but it is 2023, please consider using the available technology to provide more efficiency in serving your patrons.. Use terminal digital counter with auto safe cash deposit as every ringgit counts accurately if you guys wish for a separate daily earnings, the cash can still be safely kept in a single place and everything can be ordered in 1 place.. coz you won't know when and where 'the parang gang'...
ย ย ย Read moreLaksa a local favourite street food is served in different varieties of cooking, you have the assam laksa, Thai laksa, Kelantanese laksa, Johorean laksa and the Sarawakian laksa. Laksa consists of rice noodles serve in fish gravy with a mixture of veges. Laksa Janggus practically is a Malay style assam laksa with veges and egg topping added, sourced with prawn paste. The laksa here is on the sweet side, not too sour and not that spicy, the soup is prepared from fishes blended into fine grains and cooked with local spices. The fish smell is pretty strong and will stay in your mouth for quite sometime after your meal. Be it laksa, mee udang or cucur udang are reasonably price, served in quite large a portion. No coffee, tea or hot drinks served here only ready made ice lemonade and some other flavoured drinks. Plenty of sitting arrangements available but no parking spaces. You have to park by the roadside, that area's traffic flow is not that busy so I guessed its okay. Overall cleanliness is presentable, there's no table service all self service, they don't have ac just fans so its humid and warm when weather is hot. Tasted their laksa and cucur udang, I find them fairly tasty and acceptable. Will go again for the mee udang on...
ย ย ย Read moreThis restaurant is placed at a very remote area in Balik Pulau. As soon as you reached, you will see queues. There are 4 stalls: clear soup, fritters, laksa and drinks. Strategically you should divide the food purchasing job with your accompanies and one of you should secure seats for all.
Famous for their laksa and banana fritters. A bowl of standard laksa include noodle, vegetables, salty spicy fish broth and one whole hard-boiled egg. You can add on shrimp sauce and chili padi if you like your laksa to be more flavourful. One bowl costs RM5.
Banana fritter is their hitto item. Long queue and usually have to wait for a long time because not only for dine-in customers, many also come to take away. In average, the seller has to fry new batch of banana fritters after 2-3 customers. You will get 4 pieces of fritter for RM 1 and usually people buy RM5 to RM10.
Laksa tasted normal. Banana fritters were good. Drinks wise nothing note-worthy. Can't expect too much on dining environment. You might have to do the table yourself by putting aside the used cutleries, cups and bowls. Always...
