What causes heavy traffic in Burmah Road??
Nope, it’s not the schools that along the road… not even road side stalls’ customer that causes that too!!
The actual fact….. is this…. Him Heang!!
Him Heang is a place where many tourists will swing by no matter how busy their schedules are. What are famous down here are their Tau Sah Peah (豆沙餅), Beh Teh Saw (馬蹄酥) & Phong Peah.
They used to use lard as one of the ingredients, perhaps nowadays people are more health conscious and they are now using vegetable oil instead. I was told Him Heang was established in 1948, can you imagine it has been here for 61 years already.
When I first bought the Tau Sah Peah, was only selling at RM5, then increased to RM6-50 and RM8-50.
Guess how much per box are they selling now??? It’s RM9-50 per box, and yet, you could still see the stream of customers flowing into the shop.
Happened that this is the box that I bought, there’s a defective one…. See!!

Hi J2Kfm, I prefer Him Heang, but Ghee Hiang is the original one. Ghee Hiang is the baby statue.
Hi mimid3vils, yup!!
Hi babe_kl, but Ghee Hiang a bit dry.
Hi Tummythoz, long time no see... howdy? What kind of bad experience???
I prefer Him Heang and always tell visiting friends to buy from them. Haha!
Hi sLee, biz hour is from 8am to 5pm if am not mistaken. Direction from Penang Bridge to Him Heang Burmah Road as below -

Landmark is Union Primary School on your left, and Green House coffee shop opposite Him Heang. IF you know the way to the oldest hotel in town, you would be able to find Him Heang.
I appeal to the people in Penang to testify this.. foreigners to Penang.. please sharpen up your tongue ...and i swear i will not buy from Him Heang anymore...
