Famous Penang Tau Sar Pheah

Pulau Pinang aka Penang is famous for one particular type of biscuit and whenever locals or foreigners visit the island, they would buy a box or two, or three, or... I've been fortunate to sample the biscuits fresh off the oven once and it was just awesome. A little less awesome if you eat them thereafter. It's (me thinks) got green bean paste as fillings, tastes sweet with a hint of salt. I really don't know which is the original because there are a few brands out there but my colleague bought some and I discovered this particular brand has been around for 155 years and still counting!

Well, according to Penang Street Food, Ghee Hiang pictured above is indeed the original.
