GHEE HIANG CAKE SHOP
Read morePenang'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.
