The last time I went back to Alor Star was three months ago, and last few weeks went I step in the border the vast green area of paddy field greeted us. The journey was a smooth one..Alor Star has not change dramatically but there are sign of development everywhere, a clear sign is less and less green due to housing development project.
But Seberang Perak is still the same condition, the premix road is still thin and the garbage bin is still super mini size...sighhhh.
The only changes that I could identify is Burger Gemilang stall which has expand from a small burger stall to a place with many tables for people to dine in. The location of this stall is at the junction adjacent to Medan Kota.
Market Lama area have a new attraction too..they are food court but I have not try the food..Market Lama was the place for wet market and a place to find 'mee tongek',..will blog about it later, freshly ground curry paste and many other things. The market is small and you have to wear just a not so good pants coz the floor was so wet and slippery and the lower part of your pant were always wet and smelly..it was the fish odour..!
The market has been relocate and bigger space has been provided with much more variety of stuff to find. My must have are asam jawa and rempah cap Tarbus for my gulai ikan talang...Asam jawa that hubby bought for me here was way too different,can't compared to the one from Alor Star.
There are some people who bought boxes of stuff from here and bring back all the way to Kl..
