lingzie´s last blog post..Maa Roy Thai Food Authentic Thai Cuisine @ Abu Siti Lane
Wow~~its so wonderful and make me can’t concentrate on my work after saw these photo. CK, any idea of the business hour for this shop because I am planning to drop by during this weekend..
SimpleGirl – They used most of the natural ingredients to get the color except for those that are hard to come by nowadays.
Bakeling – This is also my first time seeing the making process too. It was hot but worth it.
Girly – Didn’t know that you have visited this place…this is my first. Have to agree with you, their kuih is very fresh.
lingzie – The owner is a very friendly person… easy to approach him.
My Mom’s gonna love this!! I’m going saving this for her…hehe…thanks CK, this just so lovely!

FoOd PaRaDiSe´s last blog post..New World Park Food Court @ Swatow Lane, Penang
I’m half glad I didn’t read this during teatime earlier today otherwise I’d have (unsatisfied) cravings for these delicious-looking kuih.
On the other hand, I’ve had dinner but now I’m wondering where I can get some of these for SUPPER…
wait, is this the one I asked you about the other day? or different?
i like those fresh from the wok curry puffs!
oh pray, pray I rmbr bout this place!!!

Penang TuaPui´s last blog post..Yummy Cuisine Sungai Ara – Chu Cha
Many authentic nyonya kuihs are “extincted” from Penang. I usually patroned the Batu Lanchang stall. Haven’t tried this stall before.
food-4tots´s last blog post..Invited Food Review at Ko-Fu-Loft (Penang) – Part I
Life for Beginners – Llife is not easy, even when it comes to the food topic…haha
J2kfm – If you want fresh kuih-muih directly out of the wok and steamer, then this is the place that you should visit on your next Penang trip.
christock – It is really an interesting process…good experience too.
Penang TuaPui – It is nicely done and it is also my favorite too…with lots of kaya.
food-4tots – You can try it on your next Penang trip but at the meantime, do share this place with your mother.
This post is very colourful and informative on the nyonya kueh. I like the pictures on how its done. Great pictures. 2 thumbs up!

Sweet Jasmine´s last blog post..Chicken a la Carte……….
All the kuih-s tantalise my tastebud a lot! Recalling back my childhood which I used to peel the kuih lapis layer by layer. Haha… Great review of Nyonya kuih!
Ken´s last blog post..Life . . .
wow, everything looks so colourful and delicious. it’s one major kueh factory there! good stuff!
hi…i am a fan of nyonya kuih but havent really got to know the names until recently…i used to go to the stall and point :p correct me if i’m wrong, but i do believe that kuih bengka is yellow in colour? umm, you know, the one with the tapioca, and not this purple coloured kuih…i have yet to meet someone who can tell me the exact name of this purple kuih though it is one of my favourites…and as for the pulut tekan, the nyonyas called it pulut ta-tai..its the first time i heard people calling it pulut tekan
the younger generation would call it kaya kuih or something to that effect..
OMG! the Kueh making process is so cool…
will try these kueh asap..
btw, did CK lam tried the Nyonya kueh sold in Batu Lanchang New market?
Modo Alimentare´s last blog post..HK Kim Gary Restaurant @ Penang
sakaigirl – Drop by if you have the time and buy some kuih and eat them watching the making process too.
Nic (KHKL) – Do try to visit this place on your Penang trip.
shell – Thanks!
javachip – Thanks for sharing the info
Modo Alimentare – I have tried a few of their varieties.
Oh my.. you made me craving for all them :’-( Feel like fainting here, gawking at all the picts!
I went there with PHT group 2 years ago. The group frequents ordered from them. There’s another Nyonya Kuih Maker (I forgotten the address but you can see eldery Indian men chartered trays of kuih in their 3 pedal wheelers, bike or balancing on their head-a dying art
) at Kimberly Street, not far from the famous Fried Oyster & Lor Mee at the end of Carnavon St.
I think I have to sit at Kuih Nyonya Moh Teng Pheow’s kitchen with jugs of Teh Tarik and Coffee. You think they allowed that?
pixen´s last blog post..Fresh Thai Pineapple & Cucumber Salad
BTW… my Belgian friends said Thank you so much to you for introducing food of Penang – Old and New. They stayed in Penang for 10 years before moving back to Europe. They were happy to add extra kilos!
I forwarded your link to them as I can’t be with them to tour Penang. Thank you CK for doing such great job (and made me gawked envied with all the picts!) You should be Ambassador of Penang Food (Virtual)! If there’s such nomination, you get my vote!
pixen´s last blog post..Fresh Thai Pineapple & Cucumber Salad
ahh i didnt know the multi layer crispy karipap was made that way, eye opening indeed. little did i know that a small piece of kuih has so much of sweat in the making.

buzzingbee´s last blog post..Invited Review @ Ko Fu Loft, Gurney Plaza (Part I)
you should also try the nyonya kueh sold at Batu Lancang Market , Penang every afternoon after 3pm. They are just so delicious…
Thanks CK for introducing this! I am planning to serve nyonya kuih during my wedding reception and I would say this shop looks like serving really yummy and delicious kuihs! Will drop by next week!
YES!!! I have tried the Nyonya kuih in Batu Lanchang afternoon market. Very original and generous with the ingredients.
CK, you should visit them; they are very friendly.
Check out the Chu-Chu kuih (Tapioca) and Ondeh-Ondeh (only on Saturdays).
Be prepared to queue, go there early, they sold out fast!!
Hi ! CK , thanks to your blog , we tried this nyonya kueh last sunday , my wife really love it ! we are from Ipoh , we use to travel to penang for a day trip food hunt , and with info from yr blog , it is so much easier now . Big thank you and keep us posted in future !
bump in this site…..really an eye opening on the photo for the tedious kuih making process…
i love to eat nyonya kuih alot and can’t really find a good one in penang so far…still miss the yummy morning nyonya stall at Jonker Street, Malacca.
Will definitely drop by and check it out.
thanks
Hi CK! Thanks for sharing. Will definitely check this out when we go to Penang this Oct. New fan.
omg . i really like Nyonya Kuih. does every1 have Nyonya Kuih recipes?
It looks nice but taste ok only. Not as good as the another traditional nyonya kuih that i ate from penang which near by a shopping mall called GAMA. Even my parents and relatives suggested me to there rather than the place u mentioned. but anyway i like kuih. thx for sharing.
Dear CK,
Thank you for all your fabulous recommendations on Penang’s Best Food. I’ve tried out a number of them and am very happy to learn of their existence:-)))
Talking about Nyonya Kuehs, can you please recommend me the best Stall(s) who sell the best Nyonya Dumplings in Pg? This type of dumpling is very different from our popular Meat Dumpling (Bacang) as it contains Sweet melon strips and small bites of marinated meat a la Nyonya. Really love this type of dumpling.
Thanks again for all your interesting articles. Hope you can help me to locate this rare “Nyonya dumpling in Pg!!
JT
very impressive. just arrived from kl and i miss the kuih now
Please beware that this shop is extremely unhygienic with dogs roaming freely in the cooking and food preparation area. I just had the kuih talam and pulut tekan and had a bad case of food poisoning. The proprietor also advised me that he no longers uses bunga telang for the blue colour, it’s all colouring now. The santan in kuih talam tasted funky and definitely the cause of my food poisoning. So proceed to this shop with caution!
