FRESH NUTMEG JUICE @ BALIK PULAU NEW MARKET
Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia - 30th March, 2013
 |
| Nutmeg fruits - cut in half, de-seeded and juicing. |
I was up in Penang to join some friends for a cyclo-hunt for the elusive kampong Penang Laksa in Balik Pulau (... see more). At the end of the ride, some of use lingered on at the new market there and tasted this unique drink - one that possibly can only be found in Penang - i.e. Fresh Nutmeg Juice.
Making the fresh nutmeg juice is a pain-staking manual process. The fresh fruits are cut into halves and then the seeds removed. When an order comes in, these are blended in a juicer.
And Walah! Out comes a frothy, pale yellow drink. The juice has the tangy bite of the nutmeg with an underlying slight bitter taste. It is really refreshing on a hot day.
The nutmeg juice is sold by Kheng Hoe Cafe at the Balik Pulau new market. The juice they sell was slightly sweet, it would be a good idea when ordering to tell them to pull back on the syrup. They are one of a few coffee stalls that sell fresh nutmeg juice here.
NOTE: The fresh nutmeg juice taste much better than the bottle syrup sold at many shops.
My friend Larry also ordered a plate of Pasembor. It's a salad dish consisting of sliced cucumber, turnips with pieces of fired tofu & fried spicy wheat rolls. Slightly spicy and sweet gravy is poured on top.
It's sold at this stall, nearby to the nutmeg juice stall.
The pasembor and fresh nutmeg juice goes together to form a light, balanced and healthy meal.
