This Chinese old style eatery is situated on Lebuh China, close to the corner with Lebuh King. China street is one of the oldest streets and used to be the main Chinese commercial street in the early days. In Hokkien it was called “Tua Kay”, meaning main street. Lebuh China starts just in front of the oldest Chinese Buddhist Taoist temple in Penang, dedicated to both the Goddess of Mercy (Kuan Yin Teng) and the patron of sea travellers (Ma Po Cho). It was built by the first Hokkien and Cantonese immigrants in the early 1800s. 
The restaurant has been around for a very long time and is well known for its Char Siu and its Kangkung Ham Har.
They also serve some real great fish tofu, cooked in a soya bean gravy. ( It’s one of my personal favourite dishes at Heng Kee). 
We also like their very fresh little prawns. Together with the veggies, the tofu and a bowl of rice, it’s a very tasty food for Lunch.
Let’s not forget to add some spicy Chilli.
Each time we are back in Penang we try to visit Heng Kee. We don’t always succeed though as there are so many, many eating places that we also want to visit.
