We have been wanting to try Ho Ping for quite some times but the problem is to get a car park there. But during one weekend, we are so fortunate just to get a car park near Ho Ping in Kampong Malabar.
Ho Ping
It is located @ junction of Kampung Malabar (Japanese Street) and Penang Road.
My main purpose is to try their loh bak as Gill Gill recommend me to try it out when I posted about lor bak last year.
The coffee shop is full of people when we were there. We managed to get a table but hard to find chairs around. ^o^ Anyway.... we were quite lucky to get that sorted out in just a minute. After seating, I asked hubby to order some loh bak first as many people is ordering that. And hubby orders the following:
Bean curd, Spring Roll and Prawn Fritters
When this is being served, I asked hubby where is the loh bak? And he recall that he forgot to order. ^o^ Then he went back to order another plate of loh bak. My gal enjoys the prawn fritters.
Loh Bak
The loh bak is very different from the loh bak I tried before. As this loh bak is very crispy but it is not the same loh bak that I was after. But this loh bak is not bad. I am glad that I make an effort to try it out. ^o^
Sauce
Normally you will get the black colour loh bak sauce and this is in clear colour.
Chili Sauce
Chicken and Char Siew
We saw many people is after the chicken rice and each time I passed by Penang Road, I saw the Chicken Rice stall always full of people. So we give it a try!
The chicken and char siew is very tender.
Soup
The soup is quite nice too.... very mild type though with chinese herbs aroma in it.
Mee Goreng
My gal is after mee goreng. My hubby did not see that another stall is offering fried noodles. As he thought it is only Char Koay Tiaw and also fried rice. We should have ordered from another stall as my gal finds the mee goreng is too spicy for her even hubby asked not to put chillies. ^o^
We would like to try the Char Koay Tiaw, Char Mee and Fried Rice from another stall for our next visit as we cannot resist the aroma.....^o^
