Teksen Restaurant, Chinese restaurant in George Town, Malaysia
Teksen Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant housed in a heritage building at 18 Lebuh Carnarvon with an open kitchen visible from the dining area. White walls and red tablecloths give the space a simple, organized feel.
It started in 1965 as a small porridge stand run by a Hakka immigrant and gradually expanded into a full restaurant over time. The same family has managed the business through all three generations of its growth.
The menu blends Cantonese cooking traditions with local Malaysian ingredients, and portions are sized for sharing meals with others at the table.
The restaurant operates two service periods daily from Monday through Sunday, with lunch from noon to mid-afternoon and dinner from evening to late evening. Plan your visit around these two distinct time slots.
The signature dish features double-roasted pork with local chili peppers that creates a contrast between crispy exterior and tender meat. This preparation brings together Malaysian heat with traditional cooking technique.
