In this video I embarked on a rainy road trip to Balik Pulau which is in the lesser explored area of Penang Island. As it was raining very hard I had to alter my plans a bit and went to do a little food tour. When the rain cleared up I managed to visit a beatiful dammed lake where I also enjoyed great views over Georgetown.

No matter their social background I treat everyone equal. Sometimes this results in awkard conversations but I love it!

Should try Penang Laksa, is different from Ipoh laksa
welcome to monsoon season (nov – jan)
the food is suitable for the weather but the drink maybe you should pair it with "limau panas" or "teh O limau panas"…good pair for the weather and also for bakso
I'm local from Penang balik pulau I didn't know you just start exploring balik pulau .. actually you could find a lot of food store or vendor will be open on late of evening until the night you could find good different food here like laksa,char kuey tiaw,Mee udang and a lot more .. also yes now currently had raining season all around northern it's also part of our happiness to get little cooler because we all like all year in summer😅
Any drink in msia
U need to stir before u drink
Rojak
Why not u just stop and park at the takoyaki Shop instead of crossing the road 😂
Its already monsoon season Tim, so it will be raining most of the days
The way you pronounced words, I always thought you were Wallonian.. lol
11:12 npc 😅
Hello Tim, nice to see and love you video, if you go to terengganu i hope you to go to terapuri heritage Village, you will love the places and the atmosphere there.
Should have try the laksa beacuse there are varieties of laksa in Malaysia. Laksa Perak, Laksa Penang, Laksa Johor, Laksa Sarawak, Laksa Kelantan [Laksam] etc. Laksa Penang is among Penang famous food. FYI late October, November and December is raining season for Malaysia.
Tim, since you enjoy nature, you should visit Penang Botanic Gardens, a 140-year-old park. Entrance is free. And have pandan coconut juice after. There's also a hiking trail to Penang Hill next to the garden. Pretty sure you will find the view spectacular. Look out for monkeys! Hope you enjoy what Penang has to offer.
At the beginning of the conversation you will use a motorcycle, I hope it is not the same scooter as in Cameron , but at least you chose a new scooter even though it's the same 125cc 😂
Brother do droo by Ferringhi Beach ans Gurney Drive
