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.
Swimming pool.
After the photo taking session, the food is served.
Sauces.
Spring Rolls: RM12.00 (per portion of 2 pcs) / RM24.00 for 4pcs.
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.
Hainanese Mushroom Soup: RM10.00 (per portion for one person) / RM45.00 for big bowl serving of 10 persons.
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.
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.
Grilled Fish with Butter Sauce: RM18.00 (per portion for one person) / RM36.00 for serving of 10 persons.
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
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)
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)
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).
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)
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)
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.
The chef is showing us on how to burn the rum and dress this dessert.
After the burning process, here you go…. The final outcome!
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.
Chef and Manager.
After the dinner, Jacky, the manager of Yeng Keng Hotel, lead us to visit their suites, 202 Chulia Suite and 207 Yeng Keng Suite.

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.

Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at globebeat added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at onlinedealspoint continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at lacehelm also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at creekharbortradehall carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at ferncovevendorlounge continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.
Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at bettershoppinghub hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at explorefutureoptions extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at premiumbuyarena did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at acornharbormerchantgallery confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at easycartonline confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.
Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through stoneharborcraftcollective I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at seacovevendorparlor carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at uplandcovecraftcollective reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at crownharborvendorhall kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at goldmanor extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at thinkclearlyact extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.
Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at onecartonline continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at daisyharborvendorparlor reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at clippoise extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at progressstartshere carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at claritypoweredgrowth continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at chestnutharborvendorstudio earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at flickaltars continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at silvercovemarkethall continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at focusoverfriction reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.
Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at coralharborartisanexchange extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at premiumgoodsarena continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at flintmeadowmarketparlor reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at birchharborvendorhall kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at chestnutharborvendorstudio extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at jasperharbortradehall continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at amberridgevendorlounge added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
