Tek Sen Restaurant
德成飯店
A home-style Penang Chinese restaurant operating since 1965, recommended by Michelin Bib Gourmand, famous for its double-cooked roasted pork with chili.
Established in 1965 and occupying two shophouses, this is a long-standing local Chinese restaurant on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. The signature double-cooked roasted pork with chili is stir-fried with dark soy sauce, sugar, and bird's eye chili until caramelized and fragrant, and often sells out. Homemade tofu, assam fish, and Teochew-style steamed fish are also highly recommended. Queues can be long during peak hours; some reviews suggest arriving before 17:45, as you can order while waiting in line. Non-halal, with prices slightly higher than similar local eateries. Located at 18 Lebuh Carnarvon in George Town, within walking distance.
Opening hours
Around 11:30–14:00, 17:30–20:30 (sources vary slightly); closed Tue
