Tau Sar Peahs - Food For The Gods !

If you ever get to visit Malaysia, which is a great place to experience, you need to see the world famous Island of Penang, which goes by the nick name "Pearl of the Orient". Besides the fact that it is a beautiful place, it is also the home of the Tau Sar Peahs. These are little dumpling-shaped morsels of goodness that represent a cross between a biscuit and a pastry. They are so outrageously good that people call them ‘Food For The Gods'. The delicious Tau SarPeah's are made by baking mung bean paste in sugar and lard. The paste is then rolled into a mould with thin layer of flour. A skin forms that way, that becomes flaky when the Tau Sar Peah's are baked to a crispy golden brown. Although these cookies retain their freshness for several days without refrigeration, it is when they are still warm that eating them becomes an incomparable experience. The best way to get fresh tau sar peah is to pre-order, sometimes even days before your arrival in Penang.For Penangites who work outside the state (and even those who live overseas) and return for periodic sojourns to their beloved hometown, the Tau Sar Peah's is invariably among the items that line their bags when they depart.
