Food court: Food court

Food court is non-halal, is almost 100% Malaysian-Chinese owned and they sell pork foods. I am not a Muslim, so I came here to eat some, no porks but some noodles soup, delicious sure. I saw many stalls, many peoples eating, many Indian peoples and surprisingly I saw two African men came to sell watches. This could be the best place to eat for me, I really enjoy the first time feeling and the old town ambience, yet it's easy to locate in town center.

Hup Yik Heong Peah (biscuits shop): Hup Yik Heong Peah (biscuits shop)

Hup Yik Heong Peah (biscuits shop) is a biscuit making house, is actually a residential house but modified into biscuit factory plus show room, all in one. This location is a little difficult for first time visitors, is hidden away from town center, in a residential area, best to ask local peoples or take a taxi. Location is very near but the road was difficult, you definitely need a local people to guide you. Anyway, the Heong Peng biscuits are same quality as the shop (tip above) but is much cheaper in price, at only RM4.50 per pack, probably they saved the cost of renting shop. I saw two houses both selling similar products but different brand names, see tip below.

Ta Sin Guan Tin: Heong Peah shop

Heong Peah is biscuits made by Teluk Intanese, about RM8 per pack of 300, is a must for visitors, but I heard it was not halal foods, not a Muslim food. Please look at the follwing tip for more details. Picture is the shop selling Heong Peng, the location is quite easy, I simply asked a local school boy and he showed me the direction, is in town center anyway.
