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. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at goldendunemarket 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.

  2. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at digitaltrendstation extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  3. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at goldenhorizonmarket reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  4. Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at mysticbaystore reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.

  5. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at urbanpetalmarket provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  6. Odpovědné online hraní je zásadový model k online sázení, který zdůrazňuje moderaci a blaho uživatele.
    Pomáhá účastníky, aby si určili osobní limity pro peníze a plánovali pravidelné časové pauzy od sázení.
    satanovaradost.cz
    Navíc zvyšuje otevřenost a napomáhá hráčům identifikovat rané signály rizikového hraní a pokud je to nutné vyžádat si podporu.
    Smyslem udržitelného online sázení je to, aby hraní zůstalo i nadále zábavou v mezích osobních možností a osobní kontroly, a neproměnilo se zdrojem škody.

  7. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at rapidgoodszone kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  8. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at elitetrendcenter reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  9. A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at mysticoakmarket maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

  10. Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at goldensproutgoods kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.

  11. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at urbancartarena reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  12. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at stonelightemporium 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.

  13. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at fastpickzone adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

  14. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at velvetcrestmarket confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  15. Odpovědné hraní v i-gamingu je vnímáno jako vyvážený rámec k i-gamingu, jenž zdůrazňuje bezpečnost a pohodu účastníka.
    Podporuje uživatele, aby si určili jasné rozpočty na čas a zařazovali pravidelné pauzy od sázení.
    wazambakasino1.com
    Navíc podporuje transparentnost a napomáhá hráčům identifikovat varovné signály problematického hraní a když je to zapotřebí vyžádat si podporu.
    Smyslem zodpovědného online hraní je to, aby online hraní setrvalo příjemnou zábavou v mezích hráčových možností a vlastní kontroly, a nestalo se zdrojem škody.

  16. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at blossomsprucegoods continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  17. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at echoferncollective only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  18. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at vividcartzone pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  19. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at onecartonline suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

  20. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at smartpickcorner reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  21. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at blossomhavenstore 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.

  22. Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at urbanlatticehub got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.

  23. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at amberoakcollective maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  24. Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at clevercartzone continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.

  25. Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed driftwoodvalleygoods I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  26. A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at amberlighthousegoods maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

  27. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at trendinggoodsmarket kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  28. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at ambercrestmarket maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  29. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at silverlaneemporium kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.

  30. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at velvetharborgoods reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  31. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at vibrantcartcorner confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  32. Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at trendycartcenter suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.

  33. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at frostharvestgoods continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  34. Эффективное сотрудничество компаний и GR-подразделений способствует формировать доверительный диалог с властью и учитывать потребности сторон.
    Такой подход минимизирует административные барьеры и усиливает предсказуемость компаний при работе с государством.

  35. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at nextgenbuyhub kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

  36. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at radiantmaplestore continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  37. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at amberpetalcollective extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  38. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at royalcartcorner cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  39. У друга жена через росбиотех ординатура прошла. А времени мало. Профессиональное образование врачей — и расслабиться не получится. Периодическая аккредитация — планировать заранее. Вся информация доступна здесь: ординатура сколько лет учиться ординатура сколько лет учиться И про портал НМО непрерывного медицинского образования для всех медицинских работников. Главное — не запускать этот процесс.

  40. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at crystalfernstore confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  41. Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at echopetalbazaar kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

  42. Профессиональное сотрудничество предпринимателей и GR-специалистов способствует формировать открытый контакт с государственными органами и балансировать потребности бизнеса и государства.
    Этот диалог снижает отраслевые ограничения и укрепляет устойчивость предпринимательской деятельности в диалоге с государством.
    https://www.google.co.zm/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.womaninstyle.ru%2F1HQcPogweqh6%2F

  43. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at frostharbormarket kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.

  44. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at qualitycartarena continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  45. Племянник жены в ординатуру готовился. А на деле куча нюансов. Профессиональное образование врачей — это только начало пути. Первичная аккредитация медицинских работников — и не всегда с первого раза. Портал непрерывного медицинского образования — всё это теперь часть работы. Советую глянуть источник: ординатура военная https://plotgarden.ru Там и про ординатуру сколько лет учиться для среднего персонала. Разбираться лучше заранее.

  46. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at mysticmeadowgoods suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  47. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at quickcartworld added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  48. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at frostlaneemporium sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  49. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at sunwovenmarket confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  50. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at stylishgoodscorner 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.
