Penang Road Bee Hoon Soup

There are quite a number of places scattered around Penang island that serve Bee Hoon soup. The two most common types served come with either fish or pork. My personal favorite is the one located at Ho Ping Coffee Shop; the intersection of Penang Road and Lorong Kampung Malabar.



The stall is located by the road side just in front of the coffee shop as shown at the bottom left of the picture above. They start operating from 5pm and this is the best time to go as you won't have to wait too long. If you go after 7, there will be too many people by then.


The ingredients are pork's kidney, liver, minced meat and even heart and brain! So far I still don't have the gut to try the extreme heart and brain. I always go for minced meat and kidneys. The soup is very rich in flavor, by far the best among the Bee Hoon soup in town. A big bowl will cost you RM8.50 while the small is RM7.00. The place closes on Thursday.
