Today my wife and I went to have dinner at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping on Kampung Malabar. It was a last minute decision, because the wan than mee we have planned to eat at Kedai Kopi Gou Lou wasn't selling. So that's how we ended up at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping.
I haven't eaten here for ... hmm ... years, I think! Anyway, we saw a stall selling hor fun. My wife ordered the sar hor fun while I ordered the yee foo mee. After that, I ordered the lor bak (one lor bak, one springroll, one beancurd and one fritter). For that four items, it was already RM6.40.
Return to our table, someone approached me. It was the lady who runs Ho Ping. As it is becoming increasingly often, she recognized me from my website and Facebook. Having introduced herself, she pointed out that the sar hor fun and yee foo mee is very good, and that the lor bak is famous. I have to say, yes, it's good. The yee foo mee that I have has the aroma. I don't care for the liver, but am happy with the mee itself At least we have something to eat here.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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