Great Thai food @ Bukit Genting, Penang

Last Saturday, 11 of us became addicted to Thai food. We met up at about 6pm and headed down South of Penang island to try one of the well known yummy Thai food. Our South bound journey was somewhat exciting as none of us knew how to go there. With some directions given by a friend through the phone, we made our way there and managed to find the beautiful place.

The Thai restaurant is located at the hillside between Teluk Kumbar, Balik Pulau and Gertak Sanggul. I must stress that an experienced driver is needed to maneuver the car up the steep and narrow road. *Sweats*

I wanted to show off the food, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to take any pics of the great Thai food. (Too hungry until cannot think! >.<) Anyway, if you intend to go there, you must not miss the Tom Yam soup. It's one of the best that I've tried!! See below for the short overall review of the Bukit Genting Thai Restaurant.

Price / budget: Quite affordable (11 of us had MANY types of dishes and it only costs approx. RM2xx ++)
Ambience: Kinda romantic, would be suitable for couples! But, like our group of friends, this restaurant can be a perfect place for unusual gatherings or dinner plans. :)
Service: Friendly waiters/waitresses.
Toilet: No worries....it is clean!
Parking space: Not a problem...but please make sure your car is in good condition and it can go up the steep and narrow road!
Disadvantage: Beware of mosquitoes! (You obviously can't expect a mosquito-free environment when you are in the middle of the jungle/hill, can you?)
