Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay: A Nostalgic Kuih Haven Where Tradition Tastes Sweet! 🍡🏮

Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay is a charming, old-school eatery in Penang that offers an authentic taste of Nyonya kuih in a delightfully rustic setting. Stepping inside feels like a journey back in time, with its vintage decor and traditional atmosphere. One unique aspect of the dining experience is walking through the kitchen to reach the seating area, where you can catch a glimpse of the kuih-making process. It’s clear that everything is prepared fresh daily, which adds to the appeal. The kuih selection is excellent—each piece is soft, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The Roti Jala (net pancakes) is another standout, perfectly light and paired well with curry. That said, don’t expect much personalized service here. The place is popular among both locals and tourists, so it’s often bustling with people coming and going. The staff are efficient but mostly focused on keeping up with demand rather than providing attentive service. Overall, Moh Teng Pheow is a must-visit for anyone craving traditional Nyonya kuih in an authentic, no-frills environment. Just be prepared for a casual, self-service experience amid the crowds. Great food and atmosphere, but service is minimal due to high traffic. #summervacay #malaysiatrip #penang #penangtrip #localfood #malaysia
