What the Perfect Gift to purchase, to introduce Penang to a
Foodie? Something that has been around
for 160 years.
Yes, Ghee Hiang has been producing Chinese biscuit, cookies
and sesame oil for that long. (they claim to be the first) From their first
shop at Beach Street George Town, they
have expended in to 2 other locations for the convenience of their customer as
well as and effort in preserving history,
theirs and old buildings. There A Majestic Bungalow at the Corner of
Macalister Road/Anson Road, with plenty of parking, as well as a kiosk cum tea
shop in old terrace house along Burma Road.
Their many produce include their famous Tambon Biscuit, (Tau Sa Peah), Hoong Peah, and the Saseme Seed
oil. This day I drop by at their
Macalister Road Outlet, to pick up some
items for my Aunty who is here from KL.
Parking in the large compound is certainly convenient, and the Magnificent
refurbish heritage bungalow is a sight to be seen, and photograph especially
the Ghee Hiang Mascots.
Inside the outlet, which is quite small but exquisitely and
heritagely decorated, you will have also some photo opportunity with heritage
items displayed, while lining up to purchase their produce! It’s certainly very well organised, and comfortable.
