One of the best Chinese pastries in Georgetown.

In Langkawi, the evening market moves from one part of the island to another during the week. Each day has its own market. The Kuah market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the latter being one of the busiest. Here you'll find the usual pasar malam delights : noodles, fried food, ravioli, satay skewers, but also burgers, sushi, fresh fruit and vegetables, desserts, milkshakes... There's something for everyone. The only drawback is the lack of space to enjoy all this. There's no choice but to take away.

Penang's most famous pastry shop has been in operation since 1856 - a true institution. At weekends and during school vacations, be sure to queue, as many Malaysian tourists stop here to take home a sweet souvenir. Try tau sar pneah, otherwise known as Tambun cookie elsewhere in the country. It's a crispy cabbage dough filled with a sweet paste made from mung beans and lard. Nothing to do with our own cakes, but just as tasty.
