Georgetown do have nice Hainanese food. Sin Heng Aun or Shin Kheng Aun restaurant is one of the old restaurant that have been in town for a long time that serves nice Hainanese food. The restaurant is also operate by Chinese Hainanese, Mr Ong who is a very friendly person.

Located near Chulia Street where you see 7-11 then with a turn into Lorong Chulia and you will see Sin Kheng Aun. A little parking space is provided so parking is not really a problem there, a Indian man is always taking care of the parking space.

Above picture showing is Mr Ong who runs the restaurant over years. He had been here for many years and remember when I was small like few years old, dad has already bringing me to eat out at Sin Kheng Aun. Restaurant is not AC but then it won’t be hot because air ventilation is good and there’s fan. =)

Sharing here are some dishes that we always ordered. It’s always been nice to me and that’s why sticking with the same dishes over and over again does not bored me off.

Greens we got 菜心清炒 which is plain fried of heart of cabbage. Remember to ask for “not so oily” because oily dish is not good for health.

Next is fried liver and pork. This dish taste sweet, I don’t like the pork liver because I don’t eat it but then the meat is nice and I love the gravy too.

A famous dish in the restaurant is the curry pomfret (gulai tumis tow tay), soup in the fish is sourish and not very spicy. This is good, in fact all of these are good. Haha.

Chinese loves soup, I love soup and we got fish bone soup with a lot of toufu and pork.

3 dishes and 1 soup for 3 person. It’s just nice.

Good place to eat some homecooked Hainanese food in a old coffeeshop restaurant.

Talking about the direction first. Imagine you are on Chulia St, you now there’s the famous Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice Shop, there’s a junction beside shop, turn right in and you will came across a flat, Boey Chong Kee is located just right below the flat.

My dad told me that the flat there is the earliest flat that exist in Penang. I have been to this place for a lot of time, since many many years ago, like when I’m small. Funny is we order the same dish every time we go there for dinner.

Vegetable is good for health. Plain fried Choi Sum 菜心 is nice but the portion is quite small.

Dad loves beef and he will other this fried Ngao Zhap 炒牛杂。There’s beef, beef’s organ and eggs.

Here comes my favourite dish of all time, the Ginger Duck Meat where it taste a bit salty and the sauce is nice. You should try this if you got a chance to visit this restaurant.

The fish head is also quite nice, it’s called the Hong Siu Yu Tou 红烧鱼头.

Seriously, I recommend this place, it maybe hard for you to look out, just check out the junction beside Wen Chang Chicken Rice Shop at Chulia Street at night. Though, you may need to get there early because there will be a lot of people at night and by then time you will have to wait long for the food to be served.
