Pretty all in a row.
8th Gen Civic Club meeting.
This is where we ended up :
Balik Pulau!
For the king of fruits.
Succulent.
Finger-licking good.
That’s not all…. Oops didn’t take the photos of the Siamese Laksa. See here for more photos.
One for the road.
Gee… that’s my granny’s place… neh, one of the shops on the left side of the Main Road
Now, I really must go get some liulian liao…
Cool…not the liu lian that I’m drooling at but the laksa….yummyyyy….=P~~
Angel, ohhhh.. your home turf laaa..
Got recommendations for even better liulians ka? Still want to look for better liulians, haha. Want to go again!
Chelsea, ahh.. the laksa is really good. Go to the forum to see the photos!
drool liao
aiyoyoyo..
so the torturous to just look and not have a go at it~!!!!
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Bernard!!!! I want to cekik you!!!
Just last saturday, I was debating whether I should have a bowl of laksa or lurvely durian. Unfortunately, the money-saver in me won..and I had to go for the cheaper alternative! Which was the laksa…. I sure wished I could have BOTH!!!!
eh… it is really a civic club gathering?
I tasted a durian for the first time in my life last December in a Bangkok pavement, where I got a piece wrapped in plastic clingwrap for a hundred baht. It tasted awful. I love jackfruits, so I expected to have a great experience. But, never mind, I think the right place to try again is Malaysia, right?
Don’t know what a laksah is, so will find out later, after I return from my hols!
Wahh… Drool… I hope durian season is still on the next time I go Penang…
And I never knew there was such a thing as Civic Club…
Wuching, *passing a napkin to Wuching*
Yenchiew, go! go! go! Durians are waiting.
Mott, aiyoo.. why debate? Just do it. Actually, you can’t take THAT much durian in one go anyway, right?
Yenjai, yup! It’s a club “TT”. … I learned that TT means “Teh Tarik” or is could be generic for any “meet” with food involved.
Rambodoc, ahhh… yes… the “fragrance” of durians can actually turn a lot of people off. Hehe.
Malaysian durians are actually even more “fragrant” than Thai durians.. it’s an acquired taste
Laksa… it comes from a Sanskrit word “Lakh”, which is commonly used in Hindi. It’s a mixture of many ingredients.. mainly rice noodles, vegetables, spices and fish gravy. There are a number of different “styles” … assam (meaning sour)laksa, curry laksa, Sarawak laksa, Siamese laksa etc…
Anastasia, well.. when are you coming to Penang? “Jangan tunggu lama-lama, nanti lama-lama…”
Yup, it’s not ANY Civic Club.. it’s an 8th Gen Civic Club. Hehe. There’s also a Jazz Club and a City Club too, I think.
Duriannnnnnnnnnnn..I wan…Hah..this I will drive bek kampung to to jemput…anytime..kakakkaka…
Not enough close-ups of food to induce droolingness. LOL… Fail! KAKAKAKAKA
Yum… Yum…

No need to see photos already started to drool just looking at the word, ‘durian’. Then, looking at the golden creamy flesh, wanna die already lah. Do you know that I have not had durian for 6 years. Last time was 2001 in Malaysia.
Recommendations for liulians there? Err… sorries… I’m not so in touch with that place liao… but last time, my grandpa used to buy the sedap-est liulian from some Malay orchard and then he’ll bring a big sack of ‘em all the way down from BP to B’worth for us… He always kena scolding from his daughters lor cos do all these things but u know lah, old people donwan to listen wan… anyway, now my grandpa too old liao… and tends to forget ppl and things liao…
And I still have not gotten my liulian fix… sien…
What a neat thing for a car club to do. That is a car club right or am I confused? Still have not encountered a durian.
Eeeps….sorly lah….i dun like lulian. I can do the laksa though….should have snapped a pic of it!
Eve, the Durian Drive!
Jonzz, 9/15 drools.. 6 didn’t, for various reasons.. thanks for the suggestion.
Jayce, yes! yes! yes! You’ve got nice durian pics too
N, thanks for dropping by. Nice Balik Pulau Blog you’ve got there.
Judy, awwwwww… kesian. Are you coming back any time soon?
Angel, you have a grandpa who love y’all so much. It’s sad that he’s getting forgetful but their earlier memories are usually intact for a long time. I hope he had good memories from those times.
The liulian fix… i guess you can only imagine for the moment.
Simple American, yes, it’s a car club :-). It’s the KING of the fruits!
Bibik, I was too busy eating it.. Hahaha.
I miss Penang Balik Pulau liulian la… :~(
ooooooooooooo! i tasted those durians from balik pulau` fuahhhh!!! sedapss
Kenny, come back for some.
Ben, they’re in season again. Thanks for dropping by.
Wow, so mengiurkan. Ya lah, i should get out from my house and smell the durian.. baru semangat sket…
The Famous Balik Pulau Durians!!! I want! I want! Golden-coloured flesh!? Drool. Must taste wonderful, huh!?
drool…drool….drool….
it’s been a very, very long time since i visited balik pulau and had the laksa. waaaaa…..gua lau nuar liao.
liulian TT. Although that place produces the best liulian, but i seldom or hardly go there
sHaHiedDaH, yup.. smell the roses and the durians. Yattaaa!
Eastcoastlife, come and get it!
Nyonya, also come!
Chen, don’t miss this year’s season! Bring Nyonya when you go.
durian and siamese laksa! I like both!
niaseng, laksa with durian?!? it’s supposed to be deadlier than laksa with alcohol.
This is very cruel.
We have got durians here, at nearly £6 per kilo.
I refuse to yield to the shop’s ‘extortion’.
Now the will to resist has just got a bit weaker…..
When it comes to food, you are definitely standing on the greener pastures.
I was drooling over the cars …hehe
Yea, man !! Drooling like crazy !!!
By the way, dearie, you have been tagged !!

If you think its gender specific, just change it from Stay at home mom to stay at home dad and full time working dad. guess you have to do a twist here.
Just me, eenie meenie mynie … nvm.. have BOTH!
Nocturnale, u mean durian with alcohol, right? Hehe.
But.. what’s the booster ingredient in Laksa to make it a lethal combination??
Green Pasture, uahh.. you might as well call it “GREEN GOLD” at that prices! I guess it’s voluntary extortion for some.
OK, look closely at this medallion… tic toc tic toc…. close your eyes and turn away slowly. You never saw this…
When are you coming back for the green gold?
Sbanboy, yesss! Need for speed! Or style?
Allthingspurple, okie.. FTWD reporting for duty
very very cruel!
Sweetpea, is there a durian-in-a-pill? Hehe.
