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.

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 gladstoneblog 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.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at cipherbeach continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at blog33simply 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.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to blog44hair 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.
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to softvalley kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at silkduneemporium continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at covecanal 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.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at ultraengine extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to microcloud I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at devgrid 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.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at freshtrendarena continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at quartznet only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to devsupreme 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.
Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to blog44which maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at amplebuff 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.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at tulapixel kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at bridgebase reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at ardenbrisk the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.
Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at blog44focuss provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.
If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at coilbyrd confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at craterbook added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at devriver pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at stackgrid adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at glideflow held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at jonathangiles kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at blog44within extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at tacttech 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.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at slot333 produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to blog44around 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.
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at iolablog reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at fuh88 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.
Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at devatoll extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at shiftsync continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at boldtrendstation continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at blog33mean extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at clearbrick extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at blog33me earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at premiumpickmarket extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at coilcab added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at ariabrawn reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at baroncleat 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.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at dynocode extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at webfactor maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at blog66grounds 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.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at drivedeck kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at sparkroot 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.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at logicloft 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.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at fluxengine extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
