Hainanese and Western Food @ Yeng Keng Hotel, Penang Chulia Street

I saw Yeng Keng Hotel for the very first time when my friend fetched me for lunch one day and we passed by Chulia Street. If I am the one who is driving, I don’t think I can notice it. Yeng Keng Hotel is located at the core of Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Before I go, I called up Yeng Keng Hotel, asking about the car parking. I know it is very hard to find a car park along Chulia Street. The receptionist was not really giving me a good answer about this question. She just told me, you drive inside to the hotel entrance will do. I was like, OK…..

When I reached, I almost missed the entrance. Actually, I missed it at first. Luckily, there is no car behind. I made a reverse and turn into Yeng Keng Hotel. The parking lot is at the back. It is a small parking lot though. I think the most can park up to around 10 cars, if I am not mistaken. There is only one space left when I was there, which is a parking lot for the handicapped. I asked the receptionist whether I can park there. She replied, YES.

I started by wandering around and taking some of the surrounding photos.

After the photo taking session, the food is served.

Sauces.

Spring Rolls: RM12.00 (per portion of 2 pcs) / RM24.00 for 4pcs.

img_4683

Maybe you will think, why the spring roll is so expensive? It is due to the ingredient they used. It has crab meat, chicken meat, prawn, black mushroom, yambean, carrot and onion.

img_4689

Hainanese Mushroom Soup: RM10.00 (per portion for one person) / RM45.00 for big bowl serving of 10 persons.

img_4705

I am not a die hard fan for soup. To me, it is not bad after all. The ingredients used include button mushroom, livers, gizzards, fermented black bean, chicken, glass noodles and spring onions.

Yeng Keng Chicken Chop: RM15.00 (per portion for one person) / RM30.00 for serving of 10 persons.

img_4710

The portion here is for 2 persons. The chicken is a bit salty to my liking. This Chicken Chop is more towards the western style rather than the Hainanese style. The gravy consists of tomato, carrot, cucumber, green pea, sweet corn, onion and button mushroom.

img_4723

Grilled Fish with Butter Sauce: RM18.00 (per portion for one person) / RM36.00 for serving of 10 persons.

img_4741

The fish used is dory fish from Vietnam. It is not bad actually. However, same as the chicken chop, the fish is a bit salty.

Braised Lamb Shank: RM35.00 (per portion for one person) / RM70.00 for serving of 10 persons

img_4770

The portion is really huge. At first, I never see the spaghetti which is underneath the lamb shank. The spaghetti used is from Le Fonteb with the size of 11. I am not really care about which size they used. To me, the taste is more important. The lamb is tender and the spaghetti is nice.

Chicken Pie: RM25.00 (per portion for 3 – 5 persons) / RM35.00 for serving of 10 persons (with extra filling)

img_4781

The shape of this chicken pie is like a spaceship. Normally, we have a round chicken pie instead of oval. The ingredients inside the chicken pie are chicken, button mushroom, egg, carrot, sweet corn, onion and black mushroom. I still prefer the chicken inside to be boneless chicken. I like the pastry though.

Inchi Kabin: RM30.00 (whole chicken)

img_4840

This is just a simple and nice dish! The chicken is good. The crackers are a bit oily but overall is OK.

Curry Tumis Promfret (Tau Teh Fish): RM100.00 – RM120.00 (Depending on market price).

img_4839

If you order this curry and eat with white rice, it will be a superb combination. I like the thick Curry Tumis gravy. Nice! If you don’t like Promfret and wish to opt with other fish, it can be arranged accordingly if you make a reservation early.

Braised Duck with Yam (Ar Or): RM50.00 (half duck) / RM85.00 (whole duck)

img_4819

I seldom eat duck. This is the very first time I tried out this dish. Not bad at all. The portion we have is just a half duck.

Bomb Alaska: RM20.00 per serving (Serves 4 person)

img_4860

This is also the very first time I heard and tried this dessert. It consists of butter cake, cocktail fruits, 4 scoops of ice cream, egg white and rum.

img_4872

The chef is showing us on how to burn the rum and dress this dessert.

img_4878

After the burning process, here you go…. The final outcome!

img_4897

We all feel that the butter cake is a bit too dry, make it not so nice when eaten. However, this is very special and worth a try.

History

YENG KENG HOTEL 362 CHULIA STREET

No.362 is considered one of the oldest surviving intact buildings in the historic enclave of Chulia Street, a vibrant component of the World Heritage Site of George Town. Like many of the other buildings in the neighbourhood, it was originally built in the mid 1800’s as a private residence. The Anglo Indian bungalow belonged initially to Shaik Eusoffe bin Shaik Latiff an Indian Muslim family and remains unique in Chulia Street for not being relegated to the rear of a row of shop-houses blocking its façade.

In 1897 trustees of the Cantonese Club ‘Yin Han Pit Shu’ bought the building on behalf of the association, later donating it to the trustees of the Straits Chinese British Association in 1939. In the early 1900’s, the building was leased to Yeng Keng Hotel.

The conversion from a residence into a hotel was the prevailing trend along the street, at the beginning of the 20th Century. Small places of lodgings that were conveniently reached from the harbour were in great demand as the traffic in the port grew. To add grandeur to the commercial establishment and to distinguish it from the rest of the buildings on the street, an impressive traditional Chinese entrance gate was constructed announcing entry to the ‘Lodging House’.

Conservation and up-grading by the present owner, Hoo Kim Properties Sdn Bhd, was undertaken in 2009 with the renewed Yeng Keng Hotel completed in April 2010.’

Overall, the food was not bad at all! I like most of them although the Chicken Chop and the Grilled Fish were a bit salty to my liking. I also like the pastry of the Chicken Pie. Some of the dishes need to pre order prior to your dining. Make sure you call them up and ask for it before you go to avoid any disappointment. The environment and surroundings are good too! If you are in Penang and want to stay in the town area, Yeng Keng Hotel will be one of the best choices for you to choose from.

  1. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at jadeflax continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  2. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at tirxavo continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

  3. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked luxmixo I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  4. Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at musebeats reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.

  5. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at urbanvo added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  7. Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at pactpalace fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.

  8. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at cartluma extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  9. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at fortfalcon reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  10. В этой статье мы рассматриваем разрушительное влияние зависимости на жизнь человека. Обсуждаются аспекты, такие как здоровье, отношения и профессиональные достижения. Читатели узнают о необходимости обращения за помощью и о путях к восстановлению.

  11. Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to brightfuturedeals reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  12. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at discoverfashionhub sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  13. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at mivqaro confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  14. Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at xavlumo reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  15. Этот информативный текст сочетает в себе темы здоровья и зависимости. Мы обсудим, как хронические заболевания могут усугубить зависимости и наоборот, как зависимость может влиять на общее состояние здоровья. Читатели получат представление о комплексном подходе к лечению как физического, так и психического состояния.

  16. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at zenvani confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  17. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at premiumdesigncollective carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  18. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at wattedge confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  19. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at liegepenny extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  20. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at flareinlets extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.

  21. Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at ebonkoala kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

  22. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at goldenrootboutique reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  23. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at narrowlake similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  24. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at xenoframe confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.

  25. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at vankiro carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  26. A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at mavlizo carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  27. Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at numenoat kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

  28. В данной статье рассматриваются физиологические и эмоциональные аспекты зависимости. Мы обсудим, как организм реагирует на зависимое поведение, и какие методы помогают восстановить здоровье и внутреннее равновесие.

  29. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at queenmshop extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  30. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at potterlily earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  31. Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to contemporarygoodsmarket continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

  32. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at curvecatch extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  33. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to cartzaro I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  34. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at lyrelinden confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  35. В данной публикации мы поговорим о процессе восстановления от зависимости, о том, как вернуть себе нормальную жизнь. Мы обсудим преодоление трудностей, значимость поддержки и наличие программ реабилитации. Читатели смогут узнать о ключевых шагах к успешному восстановлению.

  37. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at muralmend continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  38. В этой статье рассматриваются актуальные вопросы, связанные с развитием медицинской науки и её внедрением в повседневную практику. Особое внимание уделено вопросам профилактики, ранней диагностики и использованию технологий для улучшения здоровья человека.

  40. I am genuinely delighted to glance at this weblog posts which includes plenty of valuable information, thanks for providing such data.

  41. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at gorgeheron extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  42. В данной публикации мы поговорим о процессе восстановления от зависимости, о том, как вернуть себе нормальную жизнь. Мы обсудим преодоление трудностей, значимость поддержки и наличие программ реабилитации. Читатели смогут узнать о ключевых шагах к успешному восстановлению.

  43. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at isebrook extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  44. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at trebleupper extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  45. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at towershimmer extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.

  46. Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at itobout extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  47. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at syxbolt continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  48. В этой статье мы подробно рассматриваем проверенные методы борьбы с зависимостями, включая психотерапию, медикаментозное лечение и поддержку со стороны общества. Мы акцентируем внимание на важности комплексного подхода и возможности успешного восстановления для людей, столкнувшихся с этой проблемой.

  49. Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at learnanddevelopquickly reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.

  50. Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at learnandoptimizefast earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
