GONG PIA. KOMPIA. KOMPIANG. Whatever you call it, these chewy, crispy tasty saucers are irresistible fresh and hot from the ovens! Instead of being sweet as cookies or biscuit are…
As a Penangite I grew up eating our famous “tau sar pneah” (green bean paste biscuits) and had accepted it as part of Penang’s heritage and culture.
When in Ipoh it was always the kaya puffs.
The very kaya puffs that I personally dislike as the shop is forever crowded, the shopkeepers rude and the puffs overly greasy and sweet.
I only got to know of these meat floss biscuits that is (apparently) synonymous with Ipoh recently. And for the first time in my life, I ate a flaky biscuit with fillings of salted egg yolk, dried BBQ meat and meat floss… and I LIKED IT! 🙂
