[2025 George Town Restaurant] Travel Guide for Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay Penang (Updated Apr)

In Penang, you’ll be surrounded by loads of places to eat and different types of cuisines but the one cuisine you need to try is the Nonya one. Nonya food is a pretty accurate description of love at first bite. We ordered various kuih muihs as appetizers and for the mains, we ordered the nasi kuning with curry, Penang laksa, toasted roti with curry and a side of Pai tee. Each dish was yum! The shop is located strategically within the city square so you can get there by grab or on foot.#foodie #deliciousfood

Address - Lebuh Chulia, Jalan Masjid, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Ambiance/Facilities - basic, non air con downstairs, air con upstairs but steep staircase Highlights - Sri Muka, Pulut Tai Tai Avg. Price per Person - RM10 Rating - 4 stars Have a walk through history when you enter through the main door. the kitchen where all the kueh are made still run (go early to see the action). This place has been operating since 1933. We love the kueh as it is still very authentic and freshly made in the morning. as this place has become a tourist must visit place, the menu is made for the tourists, thus the kueh are bite size for sampling, do order extra pieces if you want a proper tea break. you can also have a proper lunch here as they have expanded the menu to include local staples like Laksa and Nasi Lemak. #foodie #createwithtrip #culturewalk #penang #nyonyakueh #malaysia

#celebrateit Last year a buddy visited me from United States, so we did a weekend short trip to Penang. Because this place was on the list of Michelin recommendations, so we set out to give it a try. Both of us don’t exactly have a sweet tooth, but it turned out we enjoyed the desserts a lot. First of all, they have almost ALL variety of nyonya desserts; secondly, they offer them in ultra small portion, which is FANTASTIC, so we were able to try more variety without getting full (and fat). Taste wise, it’s exactly what we grew up eating. I can’t say how heavenly it is, because these kinda traditional food is meant to be simple. But everything tasted distinct, and nothing was a letdown. This is one of the Michelin recommendations that I endorse.

Malaysia's colorful traditional sweet, Kueh, is a soft, chewy snack with a coconut milk flavor. There are many types, all of which are delicious and recommended. This time, we will introduce a stylish cafe in Penang where you can enjoy a variety of Kueh! ⭐️Review "Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay" is a Kueh specialty store on Penang Island! There is a kitchen at the entrance, and there is another kitchen beyond that, so at first I thought I had entered the wrong entrance, but the store is right behind it. There are many delicious Kueh, and you can eat them at a very reasonable price of about 30 yen each! They also have Nyonya dishes such as Paitee, which are just snacks. The Paitee had a nostalgic taste that you might find in Japanese cuisine. The Assam Laksa had a bit of a fishy smell, so I think I prefer the ones from other stores.... However, each Kueh is exquisite! I recommend the Angkoo Kueh, a rice cake with red bean paste inside! And the nutmeg juice, a Penang specialty, is really delicious! It's a popular restaurant so you may have to wait a little, but please give it a try! Takeout is also available 🥡 #OverseasTravelTactics

#malaysiatrip This restaurant is preserving the nyonya culinary heritage. They have all sorts of traditional nyonya kuih, laksa and rice. My favourite kuih is kuih talam, curry puff and pulut inti. Their laksa is also tasty. For rice, they have nasi ulam and nasi lemak. They have also tried to keep the nyonya ambience in their decor. I would consider the price quite expensive. But it's still a worthwhile experience.

#2024wish We really enjoyed the kuehs here. They were mini-sized and perfect for tasting the large variety of kuehs they had to offer. My recommendation would be the curry puff which was supper yummy ! The assam laksa was on the milder side and suited us. The seating area was cooling and comfortable and we also liked the decor here. You also get to walk through the kitchen and see the kueh preparation process. Would definitely return!
