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 (ζ€°ει₯Ό)
- Kai chai peng (ιΈ‘δ»ι₯Ό)
- Shat kek ma (θ¨ιͺ马)
- Kacang tumbuk (θ΄‘η³)
- Dodol durian (榴θ²η²Ώε θ)
- Dodol coconut (ζ€°εη²Ώε θ)
- Black sesame peanut candy (ι»θιΊ»θ±ηη³)
Crisps
- Cheese crisp (θ士ι¦θθι₯Ό)
- Salted fish crisp with seaweed topping (εΈι±Όι¦θθι₯Ό)
Mochi
- Handmade mochi with yam filling ζζ麻糬 (θ倴ηε₯Ά)
- Green tea mochi ει£ιΊ»η³¬ (η»ΏθΆε£ε³)
- Durian mochi ει£ιΊ»η³¬ (榴θ²ε£ε³)
Fruit snacks
- Dried guava (ηͺη³ζ¦΄εΉ²)
- Dried mango (θζεΉ²)

These are not all. For their full list of products and price list, check out the product catalogue on their website.
Prices range from RM6.90 for a box of kacang tumbuk to RM31.90 for a coffee 3-in-1 gift set.
This Ban Heang retail shop is located on Jalan Macalister, which is just a 2-3 minute walk from Ghee Hiang that’s also located on the same road.
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. ππ
