Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice ★ 4.2
338A-338B Lebuh Chulia, 10200 George Town, Penang
Goh Thew Chik has carved Hainanese chicken on Chulia Street for over 70 years, Penang's old-guard benchmark for every newer chicken-rice shop.
Tip: The house chilli sauce is the differentiator; ask for extra and spoon it over the chicken-oil rice, not the meat.
The Pinn ★ 4.0
58 Pengkalan Weld, 10300 George Town, Penang
The Pinn hand-makes mackerel fish balls and dumplings opposite the Lee Jetty, a small Weld Quay room mixing Penang, Taiwanese and Indonesian bites.
Tip: Add noodles to the fish-ball soup to make it a meal, and get the dumplings pan-fried rather than boiled.
