    Must stop biscuit shop in Penang for their famous Tambun biscuits, for souvenirs or take home. RM7.20 for small box, RM14 for big box. Closed on Sundays and on most public holidays.

    Still my favorite Penang tau sar piah. Happy to find the flavour and texture remain as it was years ago. This is the one and only shop selling. A double layer box for RMB14. Beware of copies.

    Famous Him Heang known for manufacturing n making their own biscs. Crowded even on a weekday. Had to wait for a few mins. Him Heang tau sar peah r good. Rm7.20 for 16 pcs is reasonable.

    One of Penang's most famous tau sar pneah / tambun biscuits. Favorite souvenir pit stop for most non-resident Penangites and tourists before leaving Penang. Always sold fresh. Get ready to queue!

    famous biscuit store, ordering prior to collection is a must to avoid disappointment, lots of local biscuits are sold here, and they accept credit cards. https://t.co/GSvU4l6Gin

    Don't listen to other tips, if you go at 2pm there will be none left, 8.30am when it opens and you will have no line and as many biscuits as you want

    If you want a freshly baked Tau Sar Pneah, this is definitely the best in town. But you must be ready to queue up. Got 2 sizes: Single & Double layer. -Penang Kia Food Critique-

    It's Yummy. But still trying to differentiate the premium to Ban Heang. HimHeang 32 original flavour at rm12.50, while BanHeang at rm8.80.

    One of the famous biscuit shop in Penang. Lack of parking space. Will need to que to go in. Don’t worry the waiting is not too long. They have cashless payment method

    Prefer this over Ghee Hiang as the tau sar piah pastry is so good. Worth every bite.

    The tambun biscuit is not bad indeed but the shop is not systematic at all ! Ask the customers to pay first then only collect your biscuit and yet is very crowded in that shop ! Highly not recommend !

    Everybody comes here now because they never forgot how stuck up Ghee Hiang used to be . Have to grab quickly when the boxes come out or nothing left.

    I think Ghee Hiang with the plastic wrapping per 4 balls is better and more hygienic ....

    Try every of the different varieties if possible! Beware of the expiry date, even though it's baked fresh. Usually lasts for only 2 weeks. If getting it as a souvenir, better give it out fast!
