    Hainantown restaurant at Yeng Keng serves pork-free Nyonya food, and an extensive range of home-styled staples since 2005! The restaurant is ideal for group gatherings and families as it is pork-free, and my colleagues get to sample the…

    The Hainanese chicken pie turned out to be the best I'd tasted in town. It's very tasty on its own, but came with very piquant home-brewed Worcestershire sauce

    A restaurant that serves really authentic Hai Nam cuisine. The place I can enjoy home cooked dishes at the comfort of good service and nice environment. The Asam Prawns are really good and a must try. Together with the Asam Pedas fish.

    Another reasonably priced restaurant in town but falls short on beverage options and taste. The portions are quite large but lacking in real flavour and taste. The duck was particularly disappointing.

    Visited this Nyonya restaurant in Penang and had a satisfying meal overall. Ordered the Nasi Ulam, which was full of rich, aromatic flavors and very well balanced.

    After full time travelling for 7 months this restaurant is in my top 5 of all time. Amazing food, so flavourful and not too spicy. My first time trying this cuisine and it definitely won’t be my last.

    Although there are hundreds of good restaurant downtown Penang, most of them belong to the street food category. This restaurant provides a fine dining decor and the food really met with our expectations.

    Restaurant attached to the Yeng Keng hotel, a Nyonya themed place. I like this for its more gentle and comfortable Nyonya cuisine in a nice setting.

    Very nice Nyonya food in Penang. We made a reservation prior arrival hence didn’t need to wait but seem like this place have limited seating capacity. Food wise is excellent, totally love it.

    Had a wonderful meal at Yeng Keng Café Bar today. The Kapitan chicken was so flavorful, rich, and aromatic, definitely a must try. Loved their Hainanese spring rolls too, crispy and packed with delicious filling.
