Penang’s version of Heong Peah is actually Ipoh’s version of Brown Sugar Cookies. This cookie has another unappetizing name which is “Lai Si Baeng” due to the shape of how the brown sugar being squeezed out of it.

I also bought some individually packed sesame oil which Ghee Hiang is reputable off. I did not buy the bottle version as I’m worried that any breakage will be a disaster.
