Kedai Kopi Ho Ping (Beef Noodles) @ Kampung Malabar

So you've tried the old man's beef noodles just after the bridge outside the ferry terminal at Weld Quay,plus you have also tried most of his relatives and offsprings version of the noodles around Penang island,then you hear about this place,about how good it is and you think it is going to be almost the same standard fare.Think again.
This stall serves beef au naturale with close to zero salt.You will be having ajinomotoless soup,with tasteless beef balls and offal soup.But aaah,wait...they have a secret recipe that will give you sweet dreams just raving about it.
Your steaming bowl arrives and you take a squishy bite of the beef balls.It spews out sugary water.You wash it down with the soup and you end up releasing a torrent of the Chuping sugarcane farm produce into your system.You chew on the beef offal...it is a tasteless affair with liquidated granules that ants love,on the side to keep you looking like a sweet young thing.
If you don't like this much sugar in your dish like me,I betcha you will walk out looking like Shrek.
