Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru, Balik Pulau

Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru, Balik Pulau (27 February 2013)


Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru is a small, rather straight road on the western side of Balik Pulau, Penang. It was given its rather unusual name (which translates as "New Road Estuary Road") because it connects Jalan Baru with Kuala Jalan Baru.

Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru covers a distance of 1.2 kilometers. Flowing next to it is the canalised Sungai Kuala Jalan Baru, which is also called Sungai Kongsi and Sungai Titi Teras, at various point of its flow. The road ends at a bridge across Sungai Samagagah, which converge with Sungai Kuala Jalan Baru at Kuala Jalan Baru, just in front of the Kuala Jalan Baru Tua Pek Kong Temple.

The people living along Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru as well as at the village of Kuala Jalan Baru are mostly Chinese. They make a living as fishermen or in the auxiliary trades. Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru is famous for the home coffee shop selling Hokkien Mee, known as the Kuala Jalan Bahru Hokkien Mee.

Getting there

Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru is served by Rapid Penang bus 403.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
