About Muntri Street
Muntri Street was named after the 19th Century Menteri of Larut, Ngah Ibrahim. A number of trade guilds from the bygone era are still found here, among them the Penang & Province Wellesley Cafe Association formed by Hainanese coffeeshop owners, Penang Restaurants and Tea Shops Association, Penang Goldsmith Association, among others. The Cantonese district association Wooi Ning Wooi Koon is also located here, as is King Wan Association, a trade union for shopkeepers and clerks - the name "King Wan", which was chosen after the original association got banned, means "warning the stubborn".

75 Muntri Street was the home of famous 19th century Baba-Malay novelist Chan Kim Boon (1851-1920), who is better known by his pen name Batu Gantong. He earn his fame for translating Chinese classics into Baba Malay, a patois mixing market Malay with Hokkien, producing witty pieces that amused his local readership.

In Hokkien, Muntri Street used to be known as Lam3 Wah3 Ee3 Kay1 meaning "Lam Wah Ee Hospital Street", as the hospital used to be located there. It was also called Sin3 Hai1lam2 Kong3si1 Kay1, meaning "New Hainanese Clan Association Street".

Muntri Street has some of the best preserved examples of Straits Eclectic-style architecture in George Town. The best way to show them to you is to go house by house. Go to Straits Eclectic Houses of Muntri Street to enjoy a photo album showcasing these houses.
