Bak Kut Teh at Restoran Cheng Heong (15 September 2012)
Restoran Cheng Heong was my favourite place for Bak Kut Teh, but it is no longer operating. The coffee shop was in Air Itam, Penang. The bak kut teh used to be a stall at the coffee shop next door, but has since moved into its own premises. In addition to its signature bak kut teh, the restaurant also has other dishes and accompaniments, among them Eu Char Koay, Vegetable in Oil, Chicken Feet, Lemon Chicken, Homemade Tofu and Thai-style Tofu, among others.
Restoran Cheng Heong is my choice for Best Bak Kut Teh in Penang. I like to have bak kut teh here because the taste is good while the price is moderate. My family has been coming here for bak kut teh for years, even when it was a stall next door. We used to joke that the rabbits in their old signboard look sick. Good for them that their new signboard shows more jolly looking rabbits. I haven't asked whether they have rabbit-meat bak kut teh. I don't have to know!

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
