About Ban Heang (Tambun Biscuits & Pastries)
Ban Heang is the largest Penang pastry brand by retail footprint, with a modern showroom on Jalan Penang, a flagship on Jalan Macalister and an outlet at Penang airport. Their range covers tambun biscuits, tau sar piah, pineapple tarts, salted egg cookies and various gift boxes. The showroom is set up for browsing and tasting, with samples often available at the counter.
Quality is consistent and the packaging is designed for travel — sealed boxes, individually wrapped items and gift sets ready to hand over. Prices are slightly higher than Him Heang or Ghee Hiang for comparable items, reflecting the retail experience and packaging. Ban Heang is the practical choice if you need to buy in bulk for multiple recipients. The Jalan Macalister outlet (200 Jalan Macalister, daily 9 am – 9 pm) is larger with a wider bakery section.

Bought several boxes of their tambun biscuits and heong peng from the Jalan Penang outlet. The mung bean filling is rich without being overly sweet. RM8 per box is a steal. Staff offered free samples of everything.

Good selection of traditional Penang pastries and biscuits. We picked up tau sar piah, coconut candy and salted egg cookies. Packaging is gift-ready with nice boxes. Prices are fair for the quality.

Have been buying Ban Heang products for years as gifts. Their tambun biscuits are consistently fresh and the pastry is flaky. The shop on Jalan Penang is well-organised with clear labelling and expiry dates.

Ordered a mixed gift set for RM35 which included heong peng, love letters (kuih kapit) and peanut cookies. Everything was neatly packaged and survived the flight home intact. Great for bringing back to colleagues.

The shop gets crowded on weekends but the staff are efficient. We spent about 30 minutes tasting samples and choosing gifts. The durian-flavoured biscuits were surprisingly good. Open daily 9 am to 6 pm.
