Penang Famous Street Food in Ho Ping

We selected Ho Ping as our destiny for lunch, it simply because Ho Ping is very old coffee shop that serve good food, even though the shop is pretty small but it has what Penang famous for, such as Char Koay Teow , Beef Noodle , Lobak , Chicken Rice and Mee Goreng . It like all in one shop.

Mee Goreng is one of the famous noodle in Penang, you can find it almost anywhere. RM3 for a plate of Mee Goreng, yellow noodle use to fried with homemade sauce that give a little bit spicy and sweet taste.

Look for this Lobak stall which doesn’t have any signboard, all ingredients is fresh and deep fried on the spot. You can mix and match anything that come into your mind, it price by per piece.

We had here is Century Egg, Lobak , Popiah, Taufu and Hepiah (Prawn Cracker) RM12.4. Prawn Cracker is the best among the rest, it crispy and has strong fresh prawn flavor.

Next will be our favorite Beef Ball Noodle, we had here is the soup noodle RM4. Beef ball is big in size and delicious but I would recommend to try the dry version which taste even better.

Next is the Penang most famous Char Koay Teow . famous Char Koay Teow here use charcoal to cook and that give more burning taste.

Fried Sago at Cecil Street Market (Penang 7th Road, 七条路)

Cecil Street Market (Penang 7th Road, 七条路), pack with various type of hawker stall selling Penang famous food such as Char Koay Teow, Koay Teow Th’ng, Jawa Mee, Laksa…etc.
Our main intention is to visit Fried Sago again, where you can’t find it anywhere else in Penang (our radar tells).

Fried Sago RM1.50, when the Aunty saw I take her photo she asks me, you never eat before is it? HaHa! Aunty is so funny.

Indeed this is the second time I try, the taste like Cha Koay Kak with a little bit of spicy. Sago given a lot of chewy bite and taste so delicious.

Loh Mai Chi, Peanut wrapped with Muah Chee and deep fried to golden colour.

We have no clue when we saw it, give it a try and taste so special where the Muah Chee is deep fried outside while remain the stickiness inside with the fragrance peanut

Char Koay Teow, there is so many stall selling Char Koay Teow and undecided which one to choose, end up we select this stall where the business run no stop.

Assume it to be delicious since the business so good but it was quite disappointed, Char Koay Teow without much flavor and a lot pork lard used.

See the amount of pork lard, this is leftover after I took a few.

Jawa Mee, taste just normal which not enough sourness and the chili is so spicy.

Rating given to the Fried Sago which is our main intention to share with our reader, the rest of the item seems to be normal.
Next visit going to try the Pasembur and Hokkien Mee.
