The best place to live.
Hi everyone,been living here 2year plus ...Living expenses very low,fresh air,cheap rental,nice foods,nice fruits,nice scenery,nice peoples,nice beach,nice waterfall and etc. Balik Pulau less people knew about it because its consider the last malay kampung area in Penang. If you are durian,manggis,rambutan,cempedak n banana lovers then u should come here try the tropical fruits here 20mins to a fruit farm on the way to Batu Ferringhi from Balik Pulau. 10mins to Titi Kerawang Waterfall also on the way to Batu Ferringhi. In Kongsi its the heart of Balik Pulau most business activities at there. In Kongsi, got laksa,hokkien mee,loh mee,hokkien char,lam mee, fried rice,hor fun,satay (night),roti canai,and alot more..For accomodation just got a Upeh Inn its a homestay so that tourist can enjoy the kampung life. At Hill Top you can see the view of half Balik Pulau and there at evening got stall selling nice chicken chop with a reasonable price and char kway teow quite famous there. For drink must eat the ice kacang there :)
There's also a beach near kongsi just 20 mins by car u can arrive there. The name of the beach is Pasir Panjang and the national camping site also at there. Every wednesday and saturday at Simpang Empat will having the night market. There you also can find alot delicious foods n fruits. For the Transportation in Balik Pulau there is ok but took about 1 hour to reach georgetown cause using the old yellow bus like back to the 80's. Soon Rapid Penang will take over the transportation in Balik Pulau then gonna miss the yellow bus. There's also alot hidden waterfall inside the kampung..u gotta check it out..
