I XIANG BISCUITS & CONFECTIONERY
Reviewers consistently praise the xiang bing and heong peah as among the best they've tasted, with crispy pastry and well-balanced fillings that don't stick to teeth. The standout is the traditional brick kiln baking method: the owner explains why hand-baked biscuits look uneven (a sign of authenticity), cools them correctly to maintain crispness, and produces far superior texture and flavor to mass-produced versions, though pre-ordering is essential, especially weekends and holidays. Staff demonstrate genuine care about the craft and product quality. The biscuits stay fresh and fragrant long after purchase. Visitors consistently mention these as among their most memorable Ipoh discoveries, worth seeking out specifically and bringing back to share with others.
