About Heong Peah (Fragrant Biscuits)

Heong peah, or hiong peah, is a round, flaky biscuit with a sweet, malt-sugar filling, traditionally baked over coconut-husk charcoal. It is the one Ipoh pastry that most visitors take home. Yee Hup sells individually wrapped biscuits in several flavours at its Old Town branch, its Taman Ipoh Jaya headquarters and a branch on Jalan Kuala Kangsar near Perak Tong.

Other long-standing biscuit shops are worth a look. Guan Heong Biscuit Shop (over 100 years old; +60 5-241 2399; listed daily 9 am to 6:30 pm) sells meat floss biscuits with pandan paste or salted egg, and Ching Han Guan (more than 70 years; +60 5-254 5126; listed 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, closed Tuesdays) sells meat floss with lotus paste. Hours come from a 2025 listing, so call before a special trip.
