Tek Sen Restaurant

TEIK SENG RICE STALL 德成飯店 is located at the new border, between the core zone and buffer zone of the George Town Unesco World Heritage Site road known as Carnarvon Street / Lebuh Carnarvon or (“Bay-Chai Kay”) 賣菜街. Established in 1965, we offer delicious Chinese cuisine, featuring a wide range of authentic Cantonese, Teowchew, Hakka and Peranakan delights from a single kitchen.

Some of our signature favourites include Assam Tumis Fish, Trotters in Black Vinegar (“Tu Kha Chor”) and Double Roasted Pork Fried with Chili Padi (“Char Siew Bak”). Over time, the restaurant has gained a solid reputation and our customers come from all over the island, mainland, and even as far as Central and Southern Malaysia. As a nod to our 45-years-and-counting legacy and to ensure our customers’ comfort, we recently moved to a more spacious and clean heritage building.

A branding and uplifting exercise called TEKSEN, together with its trendy new logo and computerized ordering and billing system, have given the restaurant a contemporary appeal while simultaneously retaining its old-world charm. A simply decorated old steel chair painted in iconic blue, mirrors the restaurant’s original décor, exuding a sense of nostalgia that transports customers back to the time of the “Old Teik Seng Rice Stall”.

Reservations are not necessary but as is a norm during the day in George Town, finding a parking spot can be a bit tricky; however, searching the side streets nearby may yield a spot if you are lucky. There are plenty of places available at night, though.
