Heong Peah 362

Nestled in a humble, dilapidated hut on the outskirts of my hometown, lies the unassuming home of the legendary Heong Peah 362. 

Heong Peah in Hokkien literally translates as fragrant biscuit. Essentially, Heong Peah is a pastry with a flaky crust encasing a sticky, sweet filling made from malt and shallots.

Traditional earthen kilns fired by coconut husks are used to bake the biscuits.

These delectable biscuits have garnered a loyal following, both locally and internationally, for their irresistible aroma, delicate texture, and rich flavor.

It's a common sight in the bustling streets of Ipoh to see friends and relatives who have migrated overseas eagerly clutching bags of Heong Peah before they embark on their journey back home. These beloved pastries hold a special place in the hearts of those who have left their hometowns in search of new horizons.

Dinner—sushi

Sushi can definitely hit the spot when you're craving something light yet flavorful. The combination of fresh fish, rice, and vegetables makes it a refreshing choice. Do you have a favorite type of sushi or a go-to sushi roll? Mine is Maguro Sushi (tuna).

Looks like this jelly found its true calling – as a dental impressionist! Who knew lychees could be so toothsome? 😂
