Heong Peah 189

Heong Peng (Chinese: 香餅; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: hiong-piánn; Heong Peah in Hokkien) is a local specialty biscuit originated from the town of Teluk Intan in Perak, Malaysia. Characterized by the name that literally means “fragrance biscuit” in Chinese, this traditional oriental pastry is made with special baking techniques that incorporates the crispiness and smoothness of most western pastries and becomes a style in its own right.

These pastries, which resemble slightly flattened balls, contain a sweet sticky filling made from malt and shallots, which is covered by a flaky baked crust and garnished with sesame seeds on the surface.
