They have a variety of pastries like Beh Teh Sor, Tau Sar Piah, green bean cake, white cake and many other Hokkien pastries that I had never come across. I'm amazed. Perhaps such confectioneries are at risk of extinction in the next generation if such legacy is not being pass on to the younger generations.
One of the interesting finds I saw was its "老妈糕 Lao Ma Gao". In a box of 4, doughy texture with flour coating, it somehow gave a very familiar fragrance which is too hard for us to recall its resemblance.

Opted for its salty Tau Sar Piah over the sweet ones in looking for some traditional taste. Instead of having them packed in the commercialized box, they had it packed in translucent SKP plastic bag. Everything was so down to earth and straight froward, just like the good old times. Its flaky layered of crusts in its butter fragrance with salty Tau Sar paste cradled in its core was simply divine.
