Hock Chuan Heong Restaurant — Restaurant in George Town

If you’re a fan of Hokkien food, this spot in Penang is definitely worth checking out. No reservations, so be prepared to wait. They’re only open from 12 PM to 4 PM and closed on Sundays, so timing is key.

Service has been hit-or-miss in the past, but this time, we were pleasantly surprised—the lady boss was actually friendly. A nice change!

There were eight of us, and we ordered six dishes, which came to RM294. Some might call it pricey, but for the quality and flavors, I’d say it’s reasonable.

The prawn fritters were crispy and packed with flavor, while the "bak kee th’ng" (pork strips in soup) was pure comfort food. The oyster omelet had just the right balance of crisp and gooey, and the stir-fried glass noodles had that perfect wok hei. Even the simpler dishes, like the bitter gourd fried egg and tofu with leeks and shrimp, were well-executed and delicious.

Overall, it’s still one of the best places for Hokkien food in Penang. Just come early, be patient, and...

Hock Chuan Heong Restaurant: A Hidden Gem with Delicious Food

I recently visited Hock Chuan Heong Restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, and I was not disappointed. This hidden gem offers authentic Penang cuisine that is truly delicious.

We ordered the pork meat soup, oyster noodle, beancurd with leeks, and fish fillet with bean paste. Each dish was flavorful and satisfying. The pork meat soup was particularly delicious, with tender pieces of pork and a rich broth. The oyster noodle was also excellent, with fresh oysters and a flavorful sauce.

While the food was fantastic, there was one minor hiccup. When I ordered iced tea in Cantonese, "suet cha," the aunty scolded me in Hokkien, saying "sengh kak teh la." It was a bit unexpected, but it didn't detract from our overall experience.

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Penang meal, I highly recommend visiting Hock Chuan Heong Restaurant. Just remember to avoid ordering...

The food is really delicious. But a big turn off is the rude old auntie who’s very impatient when taking orders . Also took my order wrongly. When I told the server that she sent the wrong order , she voluntarily took back and said want to change but the rude lady took back the plate of noodles and practically threw it on the table and insisted that I order wrongly. I ordered mixed seafood noodles but she made oysters noodles.How can I order wrong when my main purpose of going there is to take that dish? I should be their regular but because of her attitude, I avoid going unless I want to bring my friends from outstations to try . Today is a total...
