Yang Hua Cake House (AnchorPoint)

Its pretty difficult to find shops, selling the traditional snacks, pastries, cookies and biscuits nowadays. However, this shop that i am going to review today, certainly has injected some form of traditional flavoured into my senses.

The items sold in this shop includes the commonly seen tar sah pia (both sweet and salty), pong pia, malt candy biscuit, walnut biscuits, almond cookies, pineapple tarts, egg tarts and even peanut candy (soft, hard and crispy version). Looking at their wide range of goodies, it is not difficult to imagine how i could drawn to them and buy a couple of cookies to try them out.

Theres simply too many items for me to try out all at once, thus i only tried out the few more popular items, such as the mini tar sah pia, the pong pia, the egg tart as well as the pineapple tarts.

If i were to rank them, the first place will definitely have to be the pong pia. Although the filling of pong pia is malt candy, it does not taste sweet at all. Not only that, the filling was extremely fragrant and nice. I was pretty surprise when i tasted it at first. Later then i realize, the sesame seeds in the filling must have played a part in the fragrance.

The second place will be the mini tar sah pia, the salty version kind. Well, guess the mini version looks rather cute and tasted not too bad either. The first bite onto the tar sah pia tasted pretty spicy. Yes, you have seen it correctly, spicy. Although the spicy is not too strong but its enough to taste it. Its filling also has some sesame added into it, making it tasted more fragrant.

As for the egg tart and pineapple tarts, i find them rather so-so. I found the egg tart crust too thick for my liking. As for the pineapple tarts, i find its filling lack of some significant pineapple taste.

As for the service wise, the pretty friendly staff is willing to explain each item and it ingredients used to one carefully. However, do expect to wait for a little while during its peak period as there is only one staff in the outlet.

Overall, i believe these biscuits are still worth to give them a try.
