Ho Ping Coffee Shop (GPS: 5.41929, 100.33219) is a coffee shop at the junction of Kampung Malabar and Penang Road.
Kedai Kopi Ho Ping is famous for having the only stall in Penang selling beef ball noodles. (That stall, which was run by Mr Pong Choo Kong, who took over from his father. The business has been in operation since 1968 and at one time, it was operating in the coffee shop across the street from Ho Ping. But after four decades of operations, it finally called it a day in 2016, as the hawker decided it was time to retire.
Kedai Kopi Ho Ping is open every day except Tuesday, from 8:30 am in the morning until 8:30 pm at night.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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