Penang Food Tour (Part 4) - Sambal Udang Tau Sar Pneah @ New Lane

The front portion of the shop, opposite Sunway hotel

One of my frequent stop for souvenirs whenever I go to Penang, Hun Ming Trading at New Lane, opposite Sunway Hotel, sells a different variety of tau sar pneah (Tambun biscuits) than other branded counterparts eg. Him Heang, Ghee Hiang.

From the picture above, you can see the array of flavours available, ranging from the normal ones to pandan, peanut, coffee, DURIAN, and pineapple. But the favourite choice among my family members is ..............

YEAH, the sambal udang flavour. Strange combination, but it works. Wonders. Slightly spicy and full of sambal fragrant, a box of 32's costs RM12, while smaller pack of 16's is priced at RM6.50. For the normal flavour, a box of 32's costs RM8.50 only. Voted as THE best in Penang? Hmm, by whom, we wonder? But the sambal udang ones really deserve a vote, nonetheless ...

  2. Him Heang and Ghee Hiang to me both taste pretty good. This one at New Lane is special and authentic for the variety of flavours they offer.
