Cheang Kee restaurant is well known to the locals as well as those from outstation. People that travel down south or those heading north bound usually stop at this outlet for the food. Recently we too patronised this place on our way home from Ipoh to Penang.

We had boiled baby octopuses (too bow sui). The texture is very chewy and tasted good dipping in chili sauce with toppings of grounded peanut.

Fried prawns.

Padi Frog stir fried with dried chilis, ginger and spring onions.

Steamed fish in soya sauce.

Fried la-la with brown beans, chilis and garlic.

Fried ‘hae choe’ – mince prawn and pork.

Fried pui ling with tanghoon.

To get to this place, turn left after you have exit the Nibong Tebal toll plaza and head for the town. Continue driving straight until you reach the new elevated bridge (flyover) – drive up the bridge. As you descend, you need to keep left in order to make a sharp left-hand turn so that you can go under the bridge which will lead you to town (just go straight and don’t make any turning). Travel around 500m, you will see the restaurant on your right. Parking is by the road side. If you are lost, just give them a call at : 04-593-1728. Be prepare to wait especially during peak hours.

***** Updates ***** Got this direction to the new location of  NEW CHEANG KEE RESTAURANT from reader, Ganga Devi Ganesh  :

At the traffic light you see a Shell Petrol Station on your right & Cheang Kee on the left. Keep to your left . Go straight after the traffic light keeping to your left & turn left after abt 100m from the traffic light. This is before the elavated bridge.

Min Jiang is a coffee shop in Ayer Itam Road which is located a few houses away from the Nissan showroom. There are quite a number of stalls there. Highly recommended is the Thai Tomyam stall which is run by a lady with operating hours from 8.00 pm onwards.

The taste of the tomyam soup is one of the better ones that we have tasted so far. A bowl with big size prawns, sotong and fish slices costs RM6 and is garnished with lots of coriander leaves.

We used to eat Oh Chien (fried oyster omelette), how about Hier Chien (fried prawn omelette)? There is a stall selling this omelette that uses prawns and cooked in a flour mixture until brown, served garnished with chopped spring onions. A bit of lime juice is added on to enhanced the flavour.

Grilled fish.

Evenly grilled chicken satay (sold by a Malay family) comes with cucumber and pieces of raw onions. This stall starts selling from 8.00pm onwards.

The food served here are worth trying out. The coffeeshop is closed on Sunday!

Besides a bowl of noodles (have it either dry or with soup), their side dishes are worth trying out. We had a plate of chicken legs and pig intestines.

And another side dish that is rarely found nowadays is the duck intestines. It has a very crunchy texture and served with some light soya sauce and some garlic oil.

All these side dishes goes very well with the noodles.

Beautiful artistic iron works.

The newly restored High Court.

We were glad that the owners and the Penang government have taken the initiative to bring back all these buildings to its majestic state again but there are still alot of them left run down or abandoned. Hopefully we get to see more of them being restore in the near future.

The dishes that we had goes well with the rice but take note that their bowl of rice cost RM1.20..(bit pricey for plain white rice). Overall the food is very tasty and unique in its own way. Business starts from 12.00 noon right till 10.30pm. For reservations, do call 04 2275048.

Finding a car park space can be a bit difficult during peak hours as there are only a few parking lots right in front of the restaurant.

These are some of the images taken at night in Georgetown, Penang. The town looks so different at night – especially with the lights on.

In this restaurant, the recommended item is of course the Barbeque Ribs. Hubby had this meaty barbeque pork ribs marinated in their in-house special BBQ sauce. It comes with side dishes of garlic mashed potato and coleslaw. The meat of this finger licking ribs is so tender and juicy.

For dessert, we chose their homemade special – Banana Froster. Banana cooked in a sweet sauce with raisins and served with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream. This yummy delicious dessert goes well with the cups of black coffee that we had.

Decoration in this restaurant is simple – nothing fancy but you can count on the excellent taste of the food and its decent portion size. Parking is very convenient as it is just a few doors away from Giant Supermarket.
