    Despite its low-key presence, Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay has become a well-loved name in the Penang food scene, holding on to nearly a century of kuih-making tradition.

    As a general rule of thumb, walking down a decrepit alleyway is something we avoid, even in NYC and Melbourne. More so in Malaysia… So you can imagine our anxiety when Google Maps led us down a weird little alley to get to this supposedly…

    Nestled along Lebuh Chulia in Penang, Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih is a time capsule of flavours and traditions. Dating back to 1933, this quaint establishment has been making Nyonya kuih for generations, making it one of Penang’s oldest and…

    Coming from Nyonya-Baba roots ( ... see the Khoo Kongsi blog for elaboration ), I have had always been interested in things Nyonya-ish, be it the culture or the food.

    Good service, crowded but orderly queue. Great atmosphere, cool, aesthetic with vintage-modern combination ornaments. Tried their signature ang koo (we call it kue tok in our hometown), not so impressed, kinda thick glutinous rice flour…

    Visited Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay at around 10:30 AM, and the place was already packed with customers — clearly a popular spot! We ordered a variety of Nyonya kuih for breakfast, and everything was fresh and delicious.

    A Taiwanese person working in Singapore ordered the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), which tasted just like the Taiwanese ones – very good, it tasted like home!

    The dining area is located at the back, and customers need to pass through the kitchen after entering. There is a large variety of handmade local kuih available.

    This place is truly amazing. It has a truly vintage vibe, very neat and tidy. It's very homey and friendly, too. The cakes made with srikaya jam are delicious. The coffee is also delicious, a traditional coffee.

    We appreciated the fuss free system that made it so easy to order. Our favourites: the ang ku kueh, pandan kuehs, the one with the kaya on top. We had their pat poh drinks. Still ok!

    A very special place for Kueh hunting. There are many choices of Kuih available there. Environment is quite unique, every corner of the restaurant full of classic local Malaysian element. A good place to stop by when visiting Georgetown.

    In love. Great place for a small treat& kopi. We were here around 4pm- some delights were already sold out. So be on time. Entrance is a bit hidden- then you walk through the kitchen where the kuah is prepared.😍Love it.

    Jan 2026: took away some snacks and they were all soooooo delicious! Bite size so that I could buy a variety of six items and was just nice. May 2026: another visit to buy their nonya snacks. Yum!
