TF Hardware & Electrical Trading (福五金電器貿易) — Taman Desaria, Sungai Ara
Neighbourhood hardware and electrical shop and KCC paint dealer at 1-G-1 Jalan Kenari, Taman Desaria, Sungai Ara (Bayan Lepas), Penang. Its signboard lists building hardware, electrical goods, plastics, stationery, car accessories and batteries.
- Address
- 1-G-1, Taman Desaria, Jalan Kenari, Sungai Ara, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang (Google Maps).
- Hours
- Monday–Saturday 09:30–19:30; Sunday 09:00–19:00 (Google Maps, October 2026; a printed notice on the shutter in a contributor photo gives the same times).
- Products and business
- Its signboard reads 'Pengedar Cat' (paint dealer) with a KCC Paints 'Colour Connection' panel, and lists barangan binaan (building hardware), barangan elektrik (electrical goods), plastic household goods, stationery, car accessories and batteries. Contributor photos (undated except one from September 2020) show stand and rechargeable fans (Khind, Pearl), aluminium pots and plastic stools in the window, a business-hours notice, and a crowded tool and hardware aisle. Reviewers mention spray paint and electrical items; one (February 2024) found its electrical prices cheaper than shops they had checked in Balik Pulau, Bayan Baru and Teluk Kumbar.
- Brands
- Signboard: KCC Paints (paint dealer, as advertised). Fans seen in photos: Khind, Pearl. Not on the Philips, Schneider, Hager, Maxguard or CHINT lists we hold.
- Company
- A registration number is printed at the bottom left of the signboard but isn't fully legible in the photos we have (PG0190…84-A).
- Not to be confused with
- TF Hardware & Engineering Sdn Bhd, Jalan Limau Manis 3, Bukit Tengah, Bukit Mertajam (on Philips' retailer list, 04-507 7196) — a different company on the mainland; we found nothing tying the two.
- Online
- No website found. A Facebook page under the same name (1 follower, no posts, no address) can't be tied to the shop. Google Maps lists no phone; the number comes from older directory copies of the listing (the Foursquare venue dates from 2012). We didn't check Shopee or Lazada.
- Reviews
- 3.9 from 38 Google reviews (13 October 2026). Opinions are mixed: older reviews praise the range and helpful staff; several complain about the owner's manner, a refused exchange and a dispute over paid goods left behind, including two 1-star reviews posted on the same day in September 2026.

What it supplies
The signboard lists building hardware, electrical goods, plastic household goods, stationery, car accessories and batteries. Contributor photos on Google Maps, mostly undated, show stand and rechargeable fans (Khind, Pearl), pots and plastic stools in the window, and a crowded tool and hardware aisle. Reviewers mention buying spray paint and electrical items. One (February 2024) found its electrical prices cheaper than the shops they had checked in Balik Pulau, Bayan Baru and Teluk Kumbar.
This looks like a general neighbourhood shop rather than a wiring wholesaler, and it isn’t on any brand dealer list we hold. Call to check before you go for cable, breakers or distribution-board parts.
Not to be confused with TF Hardware & Engineering Sdn Bhd in Bukit Tengah on the mainland, a different company on Philips’ retailer list.
Contact and visiting
Phone 04-644 2543. Google Maps lists no number; this one comes from older directory copies of the listing (Foursquare, Yelp, BizMalay; the Foursquare entry dates from 2012), so it may be out of date. We found no website. A Facebook page with the shop’s name has no posts or contact details, so we can’t tie it to the shop. We didn’t check Shopee or Lazada.
Google Maps gives Monday to Saturday 9:30am to 7:30pm and Sunday 9am to 7pm. A printed notice on the shutter, in a contributor photo, shows the same hours. Google shows 3.9 from 38 reviews (13 October 2026). Opinions are mixed: older reviews praise the range and helpful staff, while several complain about the owner’s manner, a refused exchange and a dispute over paid goods left behind. That includes two 1-star reviews posted on the same day in September 2026.
