Huang Koong Barber Shop (GPS: 5.42039, 100.33) is an old-time barber shop in George Town, Penang. It is located at the intersection of Hutton Lane and Transfer Road. This traditional Chinese barber shop has been occupying the same old pre-war shophouse for the past 48 years. It is run by a Mr Ling, who is fondly known as Ah Ling.

Ah Ling is no stranger to the neighbourhood, and anybody in need of a quick fix or gentleman hair cut. His shop is frequented by customers of all ages from teens to professional adults to senior citizens. Ah Ling's forte is definitely the smart "crew cut".

Ah Ling still uses old-school method and old-school tools to achieve those desired smart hair cut for his loyal patrons. If you are a sentimental person who love walking down memory lane, Ah Ling's shop is a must visit where the interior layout will instantly set you off to a nostalgic throwback in time. The barber shop operates 6 days a week from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and is closed on Sundays.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
