Old townhouses along Lorong Selamat, George Town (29 September 2012)


Lorong Selamat (Simplified/Traditional Chinese: 平安巷; Pinyin: Píng'ān Xiàng) is one of the minor roads that run between Burmah Road and Macalister Road. It is famous for the coffee shop (Kedai Kopi Low Eng Hoo) selling street food such as Char Koay Teow (now in its own coffee shop), and turning Lorong Selamat into another George Town street food precinct.

Once a mainly residential avenue, Lorong Selamat has over the past few decades seen an increase in commercial activities, as some of the townhouses along the road are converted into shops and offices. There are also a number of coffee shops and restaurants opening in the area, turning Lorong Selamat into a street-food haven.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
