As we arrived at Penang, we basically dropped our luggage at the hotel and then hit the ground running. First stop, we went to this place relatively near our hotel (10 minute walk). Kedai Kopi Ho Ping is a small little eatery with multiple vendors outside cooking/waiting for your order.Favorite dish of the series was the Penang asam laksa; a dish packed with flavor. A base of mackerel soup, has a bit of sour from the tamarind, onion to add some sweetness, chili to add some spicy, and finish that off with fish flakes and the sweet prawn paste to really bold the flavors. This bowl of asam laksa has it all.

If I had to choose just one place to consider my favorite food spot in the world, this would be it. The eats at the food court is astounding. Sure, you may not have the same variety as you would in a more modernized eatery, but as the old adage goes, quality over quantity. The best thing, I think, that can be ordered at the food court is the ‘see hum chow fun’, It simply cannot be beat anywhere else. Various textures and flavors from the Ingredients that an uncle has painstakingly cooked on a flat wok until he deems the dish is ready. Should you still want more, there are street food vendors that are a skip, hop, and step away. Not only would I choose this food court for the great eats, but there is also an emotional attachment as my most fondest memories of family are here. It’s a place where I consider time to stand still and hope to make many trips back in the coming years.

These are the moments I’ve been waiting for! Simply incredible food cooked by these street vendors. A reminder that a fancy kitchen, great decor, and posh looking food is not what makes for a great meal. Humbling to see these hard-working and talented individuals serving such amazing food!
