Biscuits from Penang

Well, you're here in Penang and you need to buy something for the relatives back home. Instead of buying that lousy T-shirt, why don't you buy the best biscuits in town? Penang is famed for her tau sar peah ( a flaky biscuit with green bean filling) and hneoh pneah ( an equally flaky biscuit with caramel). Both biscuits are easily available anywhere but I'll recommend the best shops in town. Here they are:

1)Ghee Hiang, 95 Jalan Pantai, Tel: 04-262 0635 - 2nd best
2)Him Heang, 162A Jalan Burma, Tel: 04-228 6129 - The best

Whatever you wish to purchase, they would allow you to sample the food first.

Bak ku teh, dragon biscuits ....etc

as much as you can afford. Appeared to be cheaper than the airport duty free shops.

Traditional Chinese Biscuits (tau sar pneah, hneoh pneah)

They are so fresh that when I picked up my orders they were still warm.

The best is the hneoh pneah - it has a flaky crust and the fillings are so much and sticky - caramel filling which is so yummy. Other choise is the tau saw pneah which is green bean filling and another one is the bwon sugar, gula melaka filling

About 6 ringgit for a packet of many bisucits

Him Heang Sdn Bhd

Him Heang is famous for its Tambun Biscuits. It is a smaller version of 'Tau Sar Peah'. Most Penangite know this is the best in town. Him Heang claims that they don't distribute their products to any other vendors. So, you can only buy their products in their shop at Jalan Burma. Although I did see some sellers sell Him Heang products on Jalan Penang.

The shop closes on Sundays. So, if you are in town for the weekend, make sure you buy it before sunday!

Tambun Biscuits, 'Pong Peah', Nutmeg products, etc.

Tambun Biscuits (small 16 pcs): RM5.80 per box; Tambun Biscuits (big 32 pcs): RM9.80 per box
