About Cheong Kim Chuan (Nutmeg Products)
If the drive to Ghee Hup's factory is not on your itinerary, Cheong Kim Chuan on Lorong Selamat is the best in-town alternative for nutmeg products. The main branch stocks nutmeg oil, nutmeg balm, preserved nutmeg fruit, nutmeg candy and cordial — the full range — at reasonable prices. Additional branches operate near Kek Lok Si Temple in Air Itam.
Lorong Selamat is also famous for its char koay teow stall, so combining a nutmeg shopping stop with lunch is a natural pairing. The shop is small and unassuming; look for the signboard with nutmeg imagery. Prices are comparable to Ghee Hup's factory. Staff can advise on the differences between the products and suggest what to buy based on your intended use — cooking, traditional remedy or snacking.

This family-run shop on Lorong Selamat specialises in nutmeg products. The nutmeg balm (RM15) works wonders for headaches and motion sickness. They also sell nutmeg oil and nutmeg syrup which makes a unique cocktail mixer.

Small shop but packed with nutmeg-based products. The nutmeg candy at RM8 per pack has a sweet-spicy kick that is addictive. The owner explained the traditional processing method — everything is still done by hand.

Bought the nutmeg ointment and dried nutmeg fruit as gifts. Prices are very reasonable — RM8-20 per item. The packaging is simple but the quality is excellent. A genuine Penang heritage product you cannot find elsewhere.

Have been using their nutmeg oil for years. It is a natural remedy that my grandmother swore by. The shop is open daily 9 am to 5 pm. The friendly uncle running it will share stories about nutmeg farming in Penang.

We bought a gift set with nutmeg balm, oil and candied nutmeg fruit for RM35. Everything is locally made and the products have a strong, genuine nutmeg aroma. Compact and lightweight — perfect souvenirs for overseas friends.
