Ban Heang | What To Buy In Penang

Besides the pastries from Ghee Hiang which would make great food souvenirs from Penang, you can also check out the array of Malaysian food products and snacks from Ban Heang.

Ban Heang sells tau sar piah, beh teh saw and the like too but for such pastries, I think Ghee Hiang does them better since they specialise in them. Plus, Ghee Hiang bakes them fresh every day too.

However, what I do like about Ban Heang is their wide assortment of other local products such as the following –

Classic & traditional delights

  • Coconut biscuits (怰子ι₯Ό)
  • Kai chai peng (ιΈ‘δ»”ι₯Ό)
  • Shat kek ma (萨ιͺ‘马)

  • Dodol coconut (ζ€°ε­η²ΏεŠ θ•‰)
  • Black sesame peanut candy (ι»‘θŠιΊ»θŠ±η”Ÿη³–)

Crisps

  • Cheese crisp (θŠε£«ι¦™θ„†θ–„ι₯Ό)
  • Salted fish crisp with seaweed topping (咸鱼香脆薄ι₯Ό)

Mochi

  • Handmade mochi with yam filling 手搓麻糬 (θŠ‹ε€΄η‰›ε₯Ά)
  • Green tea mochi ε’Œι£ŽιΊ»η³¬ (η»ΏθŒΆε£ε‘³)

Ban Heang | What To Buy In Penang

I actually chanced upon Ban Heang after shopping at Ghee Hiang, which was perfect as my folks did request me to buy some of their favourite Malaysian snacks. And I was able to get everything from here so I didn’t have to search elsewhere.

Ban Heang’s products are nicely packaged in boxes hence they make very suitable food gifts.

Some standard snacks to get for my folks whenever I go to Malaysia.

If you want some variety for food souvenirs to cater to different taste buds, Ban Heang is another good place to check out. πŸ‘πŸ‘
