I think a lot of Penangite has already know about this famous hai nan chicken rice in town, Wen Chang’s Chicken Rice. It is located in the heart of Penang on Cintra Street. This chicken rice shop has gone on to papers and magazine before and my dad is a frequent visitor but not me.

This lunch visit, I got my camera with me and I am gonna share with you some chicken. =)

First up, they bring you the soup, it’s free (with order of chicken rice).

Then is the side dishes that dad order.

On the left we got chicken feet cooked with mushroom, different from what you eat at dim sum, dim sum’s is softer and hotter. This is not a bad one.

Right are lobak and some chicken’s organ etc liver and don’t know that the other is. I don’t really eat it, I eat lobak. Though the lobak is not very nice because it don’t have a crispy skin.

White chicken and black (roasted) chicken. One word, nice, but then what I tried in Bangkok and Singapore seems better, different cooking style I guess and different places, different taste.

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.

Looking for some nice Chinese restaurant in Penang? Here I got one that I always visit. It’s Feng Wei 风味 Chinese Restaurant that located on Jalan Sri Bahari which is also right opposite The Ship In Town (Western Cuisine).

It’s open during lunch hour and during dinner time, so in between this two time, the restaurant is off for break.

Most of my visit to the restaurant is during lunch time.

Let’s get into the food. There’s only 3 people and we ordered 3 dishes and it’s enough to us.

First, we got vegetable, kangkung fried with sambal and shrimps. Not very spicy but taste good.

Next is the black pepper fish fillet in pieces with lots of onion. This is quite nice as that was the first time trying this.

One of their famous dish is this Chinese Softshell Turtle in a pot (cantones: shui2 yu2 bo4). Cooked with mushrooms and other chinese spices, the gravy is nice to eat with rice and you should this out.

Last but not least, there’s a dessert for us. It’s a hot homecooked soya bean juice.

I noticed that there’s a lot of tourist as well as local like to visit the restaurant. They do have room for private function like a family gathering.
