We had a good dinner here. Spring roll and lor Bak was good. Hainanese Chicken rice was tasty and tender. The chili and ginger accompaniment was just right. We also had asam prawns. Delicious. Nice place
Hailam noodles was good , the old style hainanese noodles aroma with prawns, chicken and vegetables. Noodles portion was small but the prawns n chicken is generous. Chun-pia ( hainanese spring rolls) was a bit disappointing. more of vegetables with five spices flavor spring roll like lor bak . Chicken chop was average. Overall average taste , vibe are family type restaurant . Saturday was rather empty. Wooden door half close like not open . Price average .
This restaurant is more suitable for family or large group
Overall the food is okay, fresh ingredients used but tastes does not meet my expectations.
- Hailam Mee
Taste way too bland and nothing special
- Hainanese Spring Roll
Crispy skin wrapped and stuffed with fresh ingredients, aroma, freshness and crispiness perfect, just tastes not that good

The restaurant is set in a beautifully restored old shop lot. We went there for dinner and parking was a breeze at night, which was a welcome respite from Penang traffic. The owner took the time to recommend their specialties to us, describing each dish with pride in their cuisine. Our orders came very quickly and they were delicious. The spring rolls are a must, as they have a slightly sweet twist to them. The chicken rice was very flavourful, which called for an extra helping of rice. The fried bitter gourd was surprisingly crunchy, retaining the flavour of the bitter gourd well, nice. Kangkung belacan was good, as well as the asam curry fish. The Hainanese fried bihun came with a bit of gravy, which was different from what I was expecting, nice surprise. I believe they serve their version of Hainanese food, and they've done well to give us diners a pleasant gastronomic surprise. Recommended dining.
Housed in a colonial pre-war shoplot along King Street, This establishment used to be in another place called 1926 along Burmah Road as part of a hotel.
Evoking a sense of nostalgia as you walk in and is greeted with the dining room and the traditional room partition which separates the front and the back of the house, the menu also features dishes from a bygone era as well.
The standard nonya dishes are all here, and has a few small surprises, do ask the friendly staff here should you be curious about any particular dish.
The dining room is a little cramped, due to the size of the room, but still can seat about 70 persons or so.
The food is not bad. While some complain about the spring rolls, I found them to be passable, albeit missing the crab meat. The hailam mee was also passable, even though it was bordering a little on the sweet side. I especially liked the jiu hoo char (cuttlefish) which rarely has more than a few slivers of cuttlefish - this one was quite packed with it, and therefore making it really good.
Prices are reasonable, and do call or make a reservation before attempting to come during peak hours or you'll be disappointed.

Authentic Hainanese food in Georgetown heritage area. Hailam mee and Ichikabin are must order. Do make reservation in advance if you’re coming in big group as limited space in the restaurant.
Completely disappointed with the basic Hainanese spring roll with its chilies sauce. The Hainan Char just have sugar sweetness. If these two dishes cannot even present their authenticity, the rest of them I do not need to express my disappointment.
Ate here with my family in April. A friend in Singapore highly recommended that we come here to savour what she regarded as the best in Penang. She was right.
It was delightful. And the owner George makes his customers feel very much at home.
