The story
Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice is a Michelin Recommended street food stall on Lebuh Chulia in George Town, Penang. The award, received in the 2026 edition of the Michelin Guide, recognises the quality of its Hainan chicken rice – a cornerstone of Malaysian cuisine. The dish is built on poached chicken with tender, silky meat, served over fragrant rice cooked in chicken stock, and accompanied by a trio of chili sauce, ginger paste, and dark soy. The setting is no-frills, with plastic stools and a busy counter, as is typical of Penang’s best street food. Here, the focus is squarely on the plate.
