It may be hard to spot Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih, so keep a lookout for the faded sign in George Town, Penang. You will be rewarded with lots of delicious kuih (a steamed sweet made with rice flour, coconut milk, mung bean, and coconut palm sugar).

1 Review on “Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay & Canteen”
I am always on the lookout for accidentally vegan sweets, and I’m happy to report that we found quite a few at Moh Teng Pheow in Penang.
This traditional Chinese canteen serves up a dessert called ‘nyonya kueh’, a steamed sweet made with rice flour, coconut milk, mung bean, and coconut palm sugar.
They have a custard like texture, and their vibrant colors are made by using natural plants like butterfly pea flower, and pandan leaf. We had a variety to choose from, and at .15 cents a piece, we tried them all.
The front of Moh Teng Pheow may not look very inviting, but once you enter you will be greeted warmly by the exposed brick and retro vibe. They recently opened up the kitchen to allow patrons access to the kueh making process. Definitely a must when in Georgetown.
Kuehs are an integral part of Malaysian cultural heritage, and they are delicious to boot!
