There's no leaving Penang without bringing home a box of Tambun Biscuits, but how about learning to make them too?
Tambun Biscuits, also known as Tau Sar Pneah or Dragon Ball Biscuits, are crunchy balls of pastry filled with savoury or sweet fillings, most notably mung bean paste. Different kinds of pastries are used to form the different layers which surround the filling, and oven-baked to perfection.

Would not recommend this experience. The activity lasted 5 minutes in total at most. Dough was already made and rolled out, the activity just was to assemble a few cookies.
