Jalan Macalister Durian Guide for George Town
We drove over the mountain from Balik Pulau, Penang, ready for a smorgasbord Jalan Macalister Durian Hop in George Town. It felt a little bit backwards, because all the durian grows in Balik Pulau and gets sold for higher prices in George Town. For most people visiting Penang, it’s far more convenient to nip down […]
